Blue Armour

Pedro looking really comfortable on his own upfront. Really good skills holding onto the ball.

Palmer has also faded this second half.

Damn. Pedro with a nice setup for Cucurella. His shot with his weaker right foot is awful.

Have to make these corners count.

Palmeiras have been a 2nd half team in this tournament. Always seem to up the ante.

Pedro looking much more in control.

Madueke more effective than Nkunku. Hard to imagine the tables turned on those two.

Now Palmer trying to get a yellow. Ffs.

Can't wait to see Pedro in action

Joao Pedro on!

Glad it's Estevao who scored. If nothing else. Fantastic play.

Wow. Estevao

Palmer missing the next game would be a sucker punch. He's smarter than most though. So hope he steers clear. Yellow card rule in this tourney is so odd. Why wait till the semis to reset the cards.

According to the news., James felt muscular discomfort when training. Hope this was more of a precaution than anything.

The problem is that he's been shoving their defenders even before that. He should've known he was on a tight rope.

Delap probably returning the favor to Jackson with that dumb move.

Idiotic move by Delap. He's been asking for it all game. Now he's ruled himself out of the next game for no reason. Ridiculous yellow card rule. But Delap should've known better.

Man, hope James is back soon Can't bear to watch Gusto screwing up like this much more

Estevao taking Cucurella for a little ride. Hope the two of them dont get too competitive

Also Delap doing a half decent job with hold up play, with balls being pinged to his feet. Not quite like Drogba or Giroud. But much better than any forward we've had recently.

Damn..NKunku should have done better. So much space and time.

This referee seems a lot better. Hasn't gone yellow card crazy like the previous refs

Far cry from his debut goal, lol.

Neto's cross deserved a finish.

Man I really hope this is a thing with Palmer moving forward. Coming alive when it matters in the tournament. Namely the knockout rounds
