Ouch, not a good look, the howler from Lemmens going into the new Premier League season - I would think there'll be quite a few reminders of it by oppositions during the year.
He landed very heavily on his knee, and didn't move. Seemed to me major damage as in falling his weight was projected down and the knee made unrestrained contact.
Such an insipid performance by us. I had been supportive of Poppa, but that has just killed any enthusiasm for the Asian Cup if he is still in charge. Going on personnel, we should be favourites, and certainly make the Final.
No way should that have been a penalty. Teilamans stepped across the Senagalese player prompting the contact. He did not have position and should have been play on.
Yes BR have shown themselves up for being naive in the extreme and attempting to justify their decision doesn't let them off the hook. CR knew what a gem they had.
The block at the 17.06 moment. Was that where our player actually managed to squeeze the ball through to a forward Roo (can't remember who it was)who was in acres of space. That it was pulled back reeked of the Ref being paid to do a job on us, as the US was very exposed in that instance.
A Turkey win. We beat them, so head to head we are third if Paraguay beat us. I don't think USA lose to Turkey. However, I guess playing devil's advocate, a draw between them would mean we have to get at least a point against Paraguay. Interesting question.
