The ball boys and also players which is insane....we're stealing the keepers towel.
The substitute GK for Senegal was keeping it safe because it was pouring down and Mendy needed to keep drying face and gloves.
During the Nigeria game, Morocco were stealing the keepers towel and chucking into crowd ... Mad behaviour tbh.
So because of the conditions the sub keeper was trying to keep the towel there for Mendy when he needed it.
Proper crazy to be doing that, like it would make a difference?!
I imagine the big difference would be if he dropped a cross or shot because his gloves were soaking because he couldn’t dry them?
Low level cheating basically

Watching Brighton v Bournemouth, ref gives a yellow for a dive in the box, VAR calls him over to say keeper connected with the player and was a penalty and no yellow. Still looked a dive myself, ball was gone too.

Never a pen, he basically dived into the keeper and still barely made contact

That’s a pen.
You can’t be challenging like that in the box

Bloody hell
Bodo have scored two in two minutes against city.
That young lad at the back looks well out of his depth.

Haven’t they got a plastic pitch too? Seems like a genuine leveller.
City with a first team out there too.

I reckon Haaland might want out at the end of the season.

Bit of a mess from City. Be interesting to see if Guehi makes any difference.

I say it all the time but Don Hutchinson is the best co commentator by a distance.
He’s like the football Tony Romo. Can call how a sequence of play is going to pan out and always has a good knowledge of the teams he’s commenting on.
He’s great.

This could genuinely be five or six.
Type of game a manager says he’s had enough and gets off.
