World Cup 2018 thread

at the time i thought a red card was pretty severe, but the more i watch it and the more unsure i am. clearly an accident regardless. reports are Coleman has a broken leg, not only is that crushing for country but also for club, Everton will be lost on defence without him.

Could just be a sprain/niggle. Have to see what the results of the tests are I'm guessing.

No, it looks serious. Martin O'Neill and the commentary team all seem to agree he's out for the season. They also say it was dangerous, reckless play and while not intentional, still worthy of a red card.

Decent result but we should have been able to win against ten men, thirteen if you count Bale.

Second in the group now, so not too bad. Bring on Austria!

COYBIG!!!

I thought Meyler looks excellent in the middle for his debut, have to think he'll be utilized a lot more going forward this tournament.

I think Bale being such a world class player is almost a double sided sword for Wales. it's obviously great to have him but when you're only scoring chances come from him blasting the ball from 20-30 yards out maybe it's time to change the way you play.

Devastated for Coleman. Having his best season and it is likely to pretty much end his career - at the top level at least.

i think he has certainly been among the best full backs in the Prem this year. i think he'll be back though. he might not be the same player but seeing the intensity and win at all cost attitude he always seems to have makes me think his passion for the game will push him through.

i'm probably only hoping because i wanted United to pick him up to replace Valencia

Also, I didn't mean you can see it looks serious: I was referring to the verdict given by O'Neill and the pundits after the game.
