A final of Roberto Martinez vs Gareth Southgate would be really weird wouldn't it.

Wigan vs Middlesbrough once upon a time.

The Mido derby.

[Gazz]

To be fair, a front three of Hazard, Lukaku and KdB is basically cheating.

Danny Murphey: [On Kompany] He has a strong mind

That would explain the size of his head to keep that much mind in place.

[Lineker]

Firminho on for Willian.

Could have been Chelsea's front three!

[Szumi]

Lukaku is going to be a psuedo right winger this half and look to hit Brazil on the counter in the space left behind by Marcelo. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes 3-0 before 2-1

Neymar 

[Szumi]

If you're saying he dove, fucking card the prick. I hate how officials don't do anything to try and deter the simulations in the game.

[FLiam]

See. For fuck sake. If you're going to say it's a dive ref, you need to give him a yellow card.

Can't stamp diving out without punishing people who do it. 

[Kyle]

He isn't going to stop diving until the referee starts actually calling him for simulation.

Good to see three of us having the same thought.  

[Arjen Robben]

Ultimately all the stupid diving and pissing about from Neymar is going to go against him I think, one of these days he's going to get genuinely fouled badly and/or injured, and nobody is going to believe him.

[Lineker]

VAR is going to award this one to Jesus though after that Kompany challenge.

[Chris2K]

Please don't give a penalty for that. The ball was off the pitch before the contact.

[FLiam]

Now that was a magical nutmeg from Jesus.

That has to be a penalty, surely?

[Lineker]

Or not!

This was my thought as well.

He could have done with that about 2000 years ago

[Adam]

Debatable really so I can see why they didn't overturn it.

[Gazz]

I'm assuming that's probably why they haven't given it, he was going nowhere at the point of contact and wasn't in control of the ball.

Pontius Pilate goes to the little screen.... nah, still a crucifixion. 

[FLiam]

I would say that is still a very brave decision by the referee. 

Still waiting for that Neymar yellow card though.
