I really loved the looping handball he did into space to lead a player into an open goal, I think it was ANB who initially called for a handball which would've put himself under a little pressure. Has that footy IQ to know which is a better option and to not be afraid to override more senior players when he's in a better position to sum up what to do.

Does anyone see us in need of a second tall defender alongside Omac to free up Lever as a 3rd tall? Or is it a matter of going with what we had pre-ACL and having Frost & Keilty as depth and Petty developing, next year?

Ben Brown runs off with Cirque de Soleil perhaps?

France. I'm feeling confident of a smashing. so 5-1

Some have bounced the idea of trading him for Darcy Moore as the Pies need cap space apparently, and it would also satisfy eddie's nostalgic bones

As the leader of the race for the wooden boot, might i suggest 3 points for the 3rd place playoff? Though i'm hearing both teams will play their b side, so maby its only worth 0.3 points

Yeah second half was a bit of a let down. As it had a lot of time wasting. Bit of a talking point over on reddit. Time keeping is such a terrible aspect of soccer compared with the professionalism of other sports where we value every second lost by making it up with TIME OFF. Even just having 1 minute increments of stoppage time seems so lazy. Surely if you have somewhere counting every second, then you end up with precise Min and Sec to add ie 8min 45s. And then near end of injury time, add even more on a board for the wasted time in Injury time. " [Lapanje] Next thing they should add to modernise football is to change stoppage time to effective time. Today 6 minutes was added but the ball was in play for maybe 2-3 minutes. Yet the referee blew at almost exactly 96'. Heavily encourages time-wasting. Same story in most games I watch " https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/8xsqkw/lapanje_next_thing_they_should_add_to_modernise/ Having said that, I liked France's game. So professional. Their defence was enormous. Defended the lead so well and gave Belgium nothing. Really felt the divide between an experienced football power and a middleweight team that is trying to emerge, even though the only difference was a corner goal. I wonder if Belgium for the 2022 world cup is a good bet

These games are as close to a flip of the coin as you'll ever get imo, and I'm down by 3 to DZ, it's a terrible strategy to go the opposite to you, but I have to make a move lol. Therefore the final will be France v England (the opposite of what I'll barrack for

Wouldn't gifting someone games to get to a magic number be put under the 'reputation' category? Oddly paradoxical comment. For the record I don't think Lewis is being gifted games.

Surprised we haven't had a "Hunting for Hanneberries" thread created yet I don't want to be the one to start it though as it's not my rumour...

"Is Lewis the right guy ..."

Far out I hope all of you WCE/Gaff watchers will be reimbursed by the club for the scouting time put in

Belgium were so fortunate to get that own goal, it really meant they could get fatigued and still concede without losing because up 1-0 and Brazil would've overrun them in ET after an equalizer i feel Just finished England game. Pretty dull. I suppose the excitement of seeing Germany fail gave birth to a boring QF

I think the objections are that Kane initiated first contact by rushing into him, the Colombian player did not need to ride him like a horse lol but there was a foul initially from Kane imo. But it's a pretty hard foul to call as everyone was doing that. I don't think it means Colombia would've won though, England probably would have stepped up a gear and scored anyway imo. England outplayed Colombia in the 2nd half of ET too i think, so it wasn't Colombia one way traffic.

It would be more of a bazaar move to recruit شار حولي‎ (Bachar Houli)

Fair enough re experience. I just mean, we're chock full of inside mids, and i can't see him playing on the outside, whereas having Hannebury in there would free up Viney to play more on the outside, he has at least shown a blistering burst of speed.

I could say the same about Hannebury though? Whats the point of acquiring him?

Viney has the burst speed to be an outside mid, if Hannebury and Oliver are on inside mid duties to feed it to him...

I'm genuinely surprised he's only 27, seemed like a 31 year old player. Edit: Might just be that he's an inside mid that looks like he's played a taxing style for his entire career. I'd prefer Zak Jones over DanHan

Would have to be Tyson, Frost and a 2nd or 3rd round pick i'd imagine? But maybe we're still raffling duds in their eyes. I think we'd then go in with MAY on the best forwards, OMAC on 2nd best and Lever on the third man like with Adelaides defence in 2017. And play Oscar in the VFL if no matchup. Lewis retires and makes way for Salem or sticks it out on rotation. Jetta on crumber. Hibberd and Hunt off half back. I like it.

France v Brazil has to be the one true world cup final but a few days earlier. England and the rest after last nights match are no chance against them imo! Uruguay v France 0-1 Brazil vs Belgium 2-1 Russia vs Croatia 0-2 Sweden vs England 1-2 ET goal

Rumours that he's gettable on Footy classified because of being an unrestricted agent at the end of 2019, and a trade being possible this year. "Collingwood linked to him" Like they're linked to everyone. Could we trade Tyson and another player?

We should've just kept Aaron Davey on the list from 2013-2018. He's still 5 years younger than Boomer and probably faster than our current outside mids! ? A shame he played in-between our most successful team of modern era and our current one..

Wow, what an experience! Streets going crazy? Safe flight! What's in Georgia btw? Leaving world cup now?

He might've phoned in to the VAR office during the free kick shirt holding in extra time lol!
