That’s the hydration breaks being booed in last few games. 

[Jute]

Switzerland v Bosnia been worst game I have watched so far.

Good, an absolute abomination. Give them 90 seconds if it's above 30, otherwise tell them to deal with it.

[Jute]

Another game has momentum swing on hydration break. Bosnia on top before break. Swiss score after restart. Nice strike. 

[Jute]

Bosnia down to 10. Definitely a red card this time.

[Jute]

Since red card 3 cracking goals and it’s 3-1. 
 

Actually 4-1 with Swiss scoring a penalty.

That pen was ropey as fuck. The guy dived, but the player missed his front leg and caught his trailing leg after he'd already let his legs go. It's a nonsense that we can have unsporting crap like that being a pen, and then the ridiculous hand ball in the Czech game being given as a pen too. 

[Jute]

Canada comfortably beating Qatar 2-0 and Qatar down to 10.

Agree that Swiss player dived for penalty . Hate the way it was called clever forward play. It’s cheating. 

[Jute]

Canada 3-0 up and Qatar down to 9. Canadian player suffering a broken leg in challenge that led to 2nd red. 

[Jute]

4-0 as I hit submit.

[manc_don]

6-0 in the end. It's the score I expected Qatar to be on the end of in their opening game too.

You'd have thought he was deid given the reaction. Just piggyback him off and get on with it FFS. Game's gone.

USA men's soccer team are leading the Australia Kangaroos one to zero after an accidental goal.

Let's go, team!

Paraguay had the first player sent off for covering his moo under the new rules.

They still won 1-0.

Calling people names without showing the audience? What a fucked up game it's become.

Edit: also, the commentator said that Turkey would be going home, but they can still get through if they win their next match. There is a good chance that third place in this group finishes below Scotland, if we only lose by a goal. All the others are up in the air a bit.

I think they are still out. If they finish level on points with Oz, then the head to head record means that Australia will finish above them.

I didn't realise that head to head came into it. That's a nonsense in a four team group. Why on earth would they deliberately make third fixtures in groups have nothing to play for? 

[Jupiter]

So much for Turkey being dark horses.

Scored faster than Morocco did against us too. 65 seconds I think.

Yes, it's head to head first, then goal difference, goals scored, Eurovision Song Contest placings, a square go and then drawing of lots if they still can't be separated.

Dutch off to a flyer against Sweden. 2-0 up inside 20 minutes. 

[Jute]

Swedes probably should have at least one back. Yet again momentum of game changed at ad break.
