Solid trash cleanup after a nasty shot. Ecuador has been bombing them in from range.

Tell you what, Ecuador are fun to watch. Go get another one.

We simply have no choice but to bring a blue home

When I was little, if a ball came back from a defender/keeper, you couldnt be offside. That has I assume obvs changed.

What were his odds for golden boot before the tournament? Had to be like 300-1

Lucky for Valencia he wasn’t at Everton long enough for us to ruin him ?

Also how I remember the rule from when I played.

Richarlison

This result would probably suit both teams very nicely

Enner Valencia played onside by Ake and super-defender van Dijk shown for what he is.

Dijk is like Dom had one good season ?

Never even given a chance by most of our fans. Judged solely because we took him on loan from west ham. People made up their minds he couldn’t be good. Truthfully he’s a better Maupay but that still is worth having around, particularly for how bad we’ve been.

The lineups suggested a much less chippy game to me. Not quite the Germany-Austria non-aggression pact, but one where they would be content to wrangle over the middle third and hope to nick it.

Instead, we have end-to-end stuff.

Not any more. You're offside when you touch or play the ball from a deliberate save by the goalkeeper if you were offside from the original shot.
