GROUP F - Germany, Mexico, Sweden, Korea

[N.S.N.O.]

Without VAR, the first Korea goal would have been disallowed, then who knows maybe the Germans sneak a winner themselves....right result happened, and the big team actually went out..... Hope the pundits give VAR the credit it deserves tonight instead of knocking it again....

Loew is available!!!!

US still needs a new manager...This was the plan the whole time.

Mexico will regret that if Brazil top the other group and they have to play them now.

Credit to Sweden btw. Took an amazing goal to beat them and they bounced back superbly to thrash a Mexican team that got way too much credit for beating a now clearly lackluster German side

Mex-Bra will be (insert fire emoji)

Made my day. Going to really hurt them that. Well done SK.

Great not having to watch Joachim picking his nose or scratching his goolies any more now too.

He liked a bit of bottom action as well...very unsavoury

Fantastic result , Just adds to argument for this being one of the best world cups

imo, it's been the best (that I've seen)

Brazil just have to be careful of Mexico on the break and they should do them easy. It'll be interesting to see what Osorio does differently he has a reputation for tinkering but hasn't done it so far

Responding to someone's direct question. Perhaps direct your ire there.

I'm not engaging with your racist bile, this is a football thread

I really like watching them but it unfortunately fans the flames of the 'ee lerned that at melwood' nonsense

It's brilliant, this world cup has been great and it's played a big part in that

 

[Boba Fret]

Germany got exactly what they deserved. They were far too complacent expecting to win by reputation alone.

 

[deipnosophist]

the mighty Three Lions might not be as much a long shot as first thought. I think the World Cup is coming home!!

 

[Abraders]

Have to laugh at the German goalkeeper losing the plot and attacking the oppo box.

Gold.

Exactly this ^

Seen referee decisions show extreme bias towards big teams over and over again - as said the other day, VAR simply evens the playing field. A huge advancement for professional football.

Don't mention the Var.
