I mean, today's England vs Wales looks like a domestic match😂 Each country has its own Football Association so is classed by FIFA as independent countries for football. It might also have been a “nod” to the nation that gave the sport to the world. Can’t be certain of that. In the Olympics the four countries play under a unified Great Britain flag.

December 3, 20223 yr Good luck American people! I'm rooting for you. Apparently the Netherlands form isn't so hot these days. I've changed my opinion and am thinking you might pull it off. ⚽ Edited December 3, 20223 yr by martin-w

Highlights from the U.S. World Cup loss to the Netherlands in the round of 16 - The Washington Post Quote The U.S. men’s national team fell to the Netherlands, 3-1, on Saturday in the opening game of the round of 16 at the World Cup. A goal and two assists from Denzel Dumfries were more than enough for the Netherlands, which will play the winner of Saturday’s second game between Argentina and Australia. Fr.

December 3, 20223 yr Moderator Some magic from Messi and Argentina are through to the last 8. Spirited response from Australia and a deflected goal made it 2-1 and a very entertaining last 20 mins. They had an excellent chance at the death but the goalie made a good save. Ray (Cheshire, England).

December 4, 20223 yr Moderator Half-time in France v Poland. Poland had a golden opportunity to score but hit it straight at the keeper. Then the rebound is hit again and hits a defender on the line. Bit more composure required. Of course France then go up the other end and Giroud scores just before h/t. Should be an interesting second half if Poland can get one back because Lloris definitely has a mistake in him. Ray (Cheshire, England).

December 5, 20223 yr They need to hit France hard and fast on Saturday. No more messing about at the back for 35 minutes.

December 5, 20223 yr Yep, France will be a whole new ball game, if you'll pardon the pun. I seriously doubt we'll manage it but if we do, anythings possible.
December 5, 20223 yr Moderator When Liverpool beat Manchester City recently at Anfield they limited the supply to Haaland who has been scoring for fun this season. The same approach is needed on Saturday. Not easy of course because Mbappe is a winger, not a centre forward. The battle between Walker and the mercurial Frenchman will be a key aspect. But I’m sure the French are wondering how to stop Bellingham and the supply to him and Kane. Intriguing to say the least. Any Frenchman here? Ray (Cheshire, England).
