Arzani fella looks promising.

Sisto is a cracking little player for the Danes, always busy, rarely wastes a ball, impressed me in the play off game at landsdowne
Sisto hasn’t been direct enough for Denmark. Has the pace and the tricks but isn’t committing defenders or getting into dangerous areas.
Shit, should have won that.
Still in with a shout to qualify irrespective of what happens in Peru-France. I can see our lads beating Peru in the last game and the flaky French beating the Danes by a couple of goals. That’ll see us through on goal difference in second. I think we’ve been terrific.

Sisto has been playing “within himself” as Brian Kerr would say. I think he’s been frustrating and powder puff so far in this tournament tbh.
Sisto is a grand lad if you want to nutmeg Harry Arter. Not so much if you want to create chances against the likes of Peru and Australia.
Edit: Double post.
Harsh comments on Sisto. He’s different gravy.
You should be roasted for that.
That Denmark v Australia game is the second one from Samara that John Kenny has done. He’s clearly set up temporary base camp in the city.

This game will tell us if the French are genuine contenders. Peru are a decent side offensively and defensively.
They weren’t exactly in a hurry to get him medical attention.
Hon Peru!
France look slick enough so far, Peru a little more open than Australia.
Chances for Pogba, Varane, Griezmann; 2 of them decent opportunities.
This is shaping up to be a fine match.
Just noticed that the iconic Peruvian shirt is made by Umbro.
Huzzah.
That peru jersey is a thing of beauty

Fuck it, that was a chance. You’d expect him to finish that.
