You would need a brave but marketing savvy owner to give Hayes a job in the lower leagues.

I think the bigger the club the easier it would be

Strange rule that when the red card/not red card.

 

[Glenda's Legs]

Not sure I understand that. I get the 'double jeopardy' thing which means a yellow can be given when a penalty is awarded, but that's only if a genuine attempt is made to play the ball isn't it? Which he didn't do in this case. So if the contact had been inside the box, and a penalty given, it should have been a red card as well?
Whereas the commentators are saying it was red +free kick because it was outside the box, but would have been yellow + penalty inside the box - at least I think thats what they were saying - which makes no sense.

Should be a second yellow for ham acting

 

[Baleforce]

clear foul there

 

[Baleforce]

there is a push and then a high foot

that should have been disallowed twice

Yeah that's what Unkel said. Might be a FIFA rule/ PGMOL thing. Definitely had that attempt to play the ball in the Prem.

3-0 Canada.

This game could become a war crime

Not wrong but it’s also a bigger risk.

It’s great except the concessions are disappointing. The same generic spot with the game drink and food selection.

$835 for Category D although we we front of our row with a railing in front. Annoyingly there were 2 empty seats next to us as well. It’s still money but a once in a lifetime moment to see England in a World Cup opening game in your now adopted country.

I think I paid 7/6d for my ticket for the England v Uruguay opening game of 1966 World Cup, definitely the worst game I had every seen at that time, but I never learnt from that mistake and went to the Mexico v Uruguay game an other 0-0 bore draw.

 

[Glenda's Legs]

Oh my. That doesn’t look good at all.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Looked fairly innocuous at the time. Awful for the guy, such a sad end to his World Cup.

 

[JerusalemMan]

When the tackler looks distraught, you know it's very bad

 

[Seedy Ron]

Nice hit

 

[Seedy Ron]

Thumping finish by Owen.

 

[El Dante]

This (Mexico v Korea Republic) is the worst World Cup match so far. Nothing happening. More offsides than any real action.

Yes indeed, if you can, you must and you did!
In fairness I never checked out the concessions; but it's a really great stadium. I think the only two in the US I've been to which are better are Sofi (really something special) and the revamped Giants Stadium, simply because of the steepness of the stands to the floor/pitch. Seattle's is another fave for the same reason...
