So Didier, your final game is this bronze medal match. How are you feeling? Concede, Konsa.

Digne sleeping for the penalty. An easy call really.

Disallowed goal for Cucurella. Don’t see anything wrong there if I’m honest.

The perfect advantage. Goal was pretty good too.

Turgid first half aside from the clever free kick routine. Early in second half Trossard has studs raked down his calf and Achilles. Free kick given but no review nor even a caution. To say I’m surprised is an understatement particularly given the early Lukaku caution ( no issue with that by...

Very good review for the red card. It’s more than a tactical foul - high, fast and not an attempt to play the ball. I needed a replay to see it as I thought it was just a spoiler foul on first look, but clearly not.

Remember that eye roll inducing bad joke? “I reckon it’ll be one each, even the goalkeeper will score” That happened this morning in my County Cup game. Woefully mismatched sides, score well into double figures with the goalkeeper scoring the first of the second half. 12 different scorers all...

Has anyone tried these? And if so, your opinions? Im finding ASICS boots harder to find and the getting decent insoles to fit boots is a challenge I haven’t the time or money to deal with. Cant get the level of support I need in Nike boots, Adidas boots aren’t wide enough and Puma let me down...

Not a great advert for the game this one. Very negative game throughout with Wimbledon players flopping about like fish on a dockside after every little bump. Credit to Will Finnie in the middle, he’s not falling for it and trying to allow the game to flow. Maybe should’ve given Walsall a...

More “got the ball” bs. Dickie only plays the ball after grabbing the forward by the shoulders and pulling him back.

For the love of all that’s holy, someone take the microphone away from Alan Shearer, please. For the first 35 minutes Arsenal were abject. Yet he’s piling in along with Clattenburg on the referee. The Trossard caution was fine. Not a challenge for the ball, no chance of playing it and not set...

Don’t think the Van Dijk-Richarlison incident a couple of minutes in was violent conduct. But don’t think dropped ball was the correct restart either. Certainly a careless use of the arm and a bump under the chin by Van Dijk so shove been a free kick. Does make it interesting though as...

This year is a bit unusual in that 2 holidays and festivals fall on the same day (3 in my household actually as there’s a child’s birthday too), Christmas and Chanukah/Hanukah. So Merry Christmas to you all, and also Chag Chanukah Sameach to anyone celebrating today.

Got a bad feeling about this one from an England perspective. It’s gotten a bit trickier after the first two cautions. First caution for Guehi, no arguments. It’s early to take one for the team but needed to be done from an England perspective. The Mainoo caution I’m not so convinced was required.

Early red card for the Czechs. Commentary is dire from Andros Townsend- “he’s in possession but the on stands on his foot. He can’t be penalised because he’s in possession” Andros, thanks for everything you did Ina Luton shirt but please stay away from a microphone. Call it harsh by all...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cekk0ymznedo The news report alone makes for shocking reading. The observer in question, a former top flight official no less, tried to excuse a racially aggravated comment as “light-hearted”. Another dinosaur gone. And good riddance too.

A what would you do scenario. A player develops a spontaneous nosebleed - that is not caused by any action by a teammate or opponent nor the ball - while the ball is in play. They advise you of this. You acknowledge it and then…. What next? 1: Stop play for a “head injury” and restart...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cg30l8em32no Decided to avoid the obvious puns in the title. However the standout comment for me is this; “It has also led to the unmerited targeting of me, personally, by certain participants and pundits," he said” There’s a real case of making a...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68579553 It’s not a good moment at all for the Women’s game. One of the biggest televised games of the season and somebody drops this huge ricket. Credit to the officiating team for catching this early and not waiving it through because of all the external...

Thiago Silva goal. Did they really just do a VAR offside check for a goal from a corner?
