Norway need to take advantage of their counter attacks. I don't know why they stop whenever they get close to the Brazilian box

The Norwegian goalkeeper is the true definition of a Warrior. Wow!!!!!! 😲

He jumped over Gabriel of all people 😃

Neymar has come on. 😎

Neymar has come on. Yes!!!

The coach has substituted Sorloth for Oscar Bobb who is a natural winger. I hate it when coaches force players to play in unnatural positions.

Tcheny:
You are not far from the truth. He is too far from the action and being wasted.

It's really annoying. How can you have two monstrous Centre Forwards in Haaland and Sorloth yet choose to play Sorloth as a Winger when you could easily play a 3-5-2 when attacking and a 5-3-2 when defending?

Even if the coach wants to play a 4-3-3, he should have instructed Sorloth to play more like an inside forward instead of a Winger.

Blunt99:
The Norwegians seems to lack plan to conquer the Brazilians defence, so they always pass it back even right from their opponent half.

They look clueless, and not many of them at the front to execute a counter when it presents it self because they are all defending.

The few opportunity they had, were overhead through pass...

Maybe they should do that more.

You're right. They're not creating enough chances for Haaland. Too many sideways and backwards passes.

Norway's formation should be changed to 3-5-2 or 4-4-2. They keep wasting Sorloth on the right wing when he should be up front with Haaland destroying the Centre Backs.

The Norwegians need to take advantage of the possession they've had so far.

Hmmm, that's bad. He shouldn't have done that. The best thing he would have done is walk away after Mbappe refused to shake his hand.

bentenny:
They are all the same and deserve nothing including their low budget 'simeone' manager.

Diego Simeone would indeed be proud of that squad. He loves them dirty

But I still feel Mbappe should have agreed to shake the Paraguayan goalkeeper. It's unsportsmanlike to disrespect the goalkeeper because of what his teammates did.

oloriooko:
Yeah bro I noticed your emphasis but it's a team work, they all agreed to play dirty
Did you know the goalie later threw the ball at Mpape for not shaking hands with him?
That's the guy you are making case for

BTW Mpape should have acknowledged his gesture sha but I feel he was totally pissed off by the unprofessional way they played even before the pen was taken they tried sabotaging the pen spot

I didn't see the goalkeeper throw a ball at Mbappe.


Watching it live, the goalkeeper was about to play a long ball but couldn't because the final whistle was blown. After the whistle, he stretched his hand to shake Mbappe but Mbappe snubbed him and chose to celebrate in front of the fans instead. Perhaps you can show me the video where he threw the ball at Mbappe.


As for the shenanigans of the outfield Paraguayan players, I was shouting throughout the match but also laughing because people keep complaining that football is not as intense as it used to be in the days of old. Now that the Paraguayans have shown them proper old school gbas gbos football, they're still complaining

demoBaba:
They wanted to defend from zero minutes to 90 minutes, who dose that.

I'm not in support of a defensive football mindset but they followed their coach's instructions. They have great ball carriers and players who can shoot from outside the box like Enciso and Almiron. It's not their fault that they were instructed to sit back and defend all through.

ibtommy:
.
Why did they play rough game? Is that football? Na so dem deyplay? Let him not shake hands hare

It wasn't the goalkeeper that played roughly but his teammates. It's unsportsmanlike to transfer aggression to the goalkeeper.

puremaker7:
or better still, his agberos teammates punch mbappe on his behalf....wo it's better to avoid unnecessary wahala... moreover what is the usefulness of the handshakes to both of them...

Sportsmanship is still a thing, you know.

Chris225:
B4 nko
Mbappe tell u say him be senior man 😂

His immaturity no be here

puremaker7:
So that the keeper can punch him...it seems you are not seeing how violent those paraguayans are...

Punch him keh? Na wa for una oh. The goalkeeper was professional. It's his teammates that were agberos

bentenny:
Guy which match were you watching?
Someone who wants to make mbappe get sent off doesn't deserve a handshake!
Infact none of the Paraguay players deserved a handshake!
They were very negative!

The goalkeeper was the only Paraguayan player who was professional throughout the match.

oloriooko:
Thunder fire unprofessional
So na Paraguay dey professional abi
Paraguay made the match boring and chaotic

Emphasis on Paraguayan goalkeeper and not the outfield players. The goalkeeper was professional throughout the match.

heartofcity12:
The goalkeeper too was like that coz he wasn’t in the field playing, they’re all the same. F*k them all

I disagree. The goalkeeper showed class and professionalism. As a world class player, it's a good thing to show respect to goalkeepers you couldn't score against. As great as Messi is, he always showed respect to Enyeama. Mbappe was childish abeg.

Swanzi:
Shake him for what? Such dirty players

Unlike the outfield players, the goalkeeper was professional throughout the match.

heartofcity12:
Childish? Ohh no bro, did you see what the Paraguayan footballers play on the pitch? They’re all together on this, I’d do the same

If there was any Paraguayan player who was professional throughout the match, it was definitely the goalkeeper. This is football. He shouldn't transfer the aggression of what he suffered from the outfield players to the goalkeeper. He was just upset that apart from the penalty, the goalkeeper saved all his shots.

So unprofessional and childish of Mbappe not to shake the hands of the Paraguayan goalkeeper after the final whistle was blown.

Amovingman:
He didn't do ojoro here nau

He shouldn't have given yellow cards to Laryea and Larin

Commentator: I think Michael Oliver has refereed this game rather poorly so far.
