Yo wtf? They didn’t give us a great camera but that looked Mike’s offside 

Unfortunately Mike is on the bench for Australia today

Mike looked kilometres offside from the crappy angle FIFA provided, despite being on the bench, but what you do know.  According to the hawkeye-type thing, it was onside.

[Colonel Green]

Well, that's all she wrote.

[Cadeau]

No guts…

[jonovision]

Back to bed. Hopefully no nightmares like the one Ashley Lawrence is having.

[Gian-Luca]

That has to be disallowed for the foul on Rivière 

[narduch]

Can VAR save us now?

[narduch]

Offside!

[Colonel Green]

Now that's a lucky break.

[Cadeau]

Is today opposites day? Lol

[Gian-Luca]

They disallow the goal but for offside but how did they miss the studs stomp on Rivière? Should be a yellow

I hope you'll end up with a nice surprise when you wake up.

EDIT:  The second goal was called offside, but Australia scored again about two and a half seconds later.

Nevermind.  We're awful.

[Cadeau]

So gutless, it’s embarrassing!

[Gian-Luca]

We need to bring in another midfielder besides Fleming who can actually pass the ball forward

And preferably to a teammate.

Brutal play all round. They seem terrible technically, terrible in intensity and terrible in pace. 

[kacbru]

Can we string one pass in a row together?

A row of one would be a miracle by anyone, but I know what you mean.

EDIT:  Sorry, and the answer's no, apparently.

Great, seven additional minutes of torture.

[kacbru]

Bright spots at the half... At least it's not 4 nil. 

[Jack1997]

I woke up at 7 am for this shit

[JamboAl]

It should be more than 2-0.  Australia not withstanding, the rest of the world is getting much better too.

[lamptern]

I woke up at 3am for this……
