Reports of England fans struggling to get into the stadium due to issues with the e-ticket system. So it’s Paris all over again ?

This may be the largest collective of sober English football fans I’ve ever seen.

Some of the English players took a knee before the kickoff, so they’re willing to take the lashes from FIFA to make their point.

Maguire trying to get the Iranian defender to give him a belly-to-belly suplex in the box.

Anyone else amused at the outright hubris of the FIFA guy sitting up at the top with all of the Sheiks and dictators?

Oof, big collision between the Iranian teammates there. It’s legit because they’d only be selling it normally if an Englishman got them.

Seeing the replays, that looked like a very nasty collision, surprised the other player got away without damage.

The goalie is in all sorts here. I don’t know what concussion protocol football has, but most other sports would take him off the field at this point.

Has changed for the better recently (not perfect) but the protocols should be to get him off the field now Edit - this is mental, he cannot stay on despite what the goalie thinks. If course he wants to stay on. It's unacceptable.

Day two and things continue to get more ridiculous at this tourney.
If it took him that long to get back to his feet, there should be no question of him continuing. Hopefully he gets taken off before more damage is done to him.
