Have referees been told to be careful with getting the cards out? Switzerland were getting away without getting booked last night and the Swedish left back just completely took out Son on the counter with no booking. All it does is give them more chances to disrupt the game later on, completely stupid.

Yeah I've noticed them being really lenient. I understand wanting to let games flow and that but some of the tackles from the Swiss last night were blatant yellow cards, and that one you've mentioned in the first half there was clear as day, he stopped a 2-on-1 essentially.

Considering how nervous he looked before that, it’s a really good penalty.

I’ve half missed Ally McCoist as a commentator. Don’t mind him one bit.

Aye I've enjoyed him as well, seems to be less concerned with being a personality and more concerned with doing his job.

Hate to say it but suffering through more Asian and African teams in 2026 is looking like it’ll be a brutal watch.

No that World Cup is going to be absolute shite. Or brilliant, depending on how many Djiboutis and Equitorial Guineas get drawn against Brazil and Germany etc.
My only hope is we get a Zaire ‘74 scenario where the players don’t know the rules and it just goes mad.

Not sure what I expected from South Korea but they were brutal.
I won't care in 2026 as long as we squeeze into the 48 teams tbh

Really hard to tell whether those should be penalties or not.

Took them a while to get going but once they’re 1-0 up and the opponent have to come out, Mexico are a problem.
