France and Nigeria kits look good, but I can’t believe they’ve managed to botch Croatia’s!

I’m also unsure about the Netherlands fire-orange. The Dutch jersey is usually my favorite but this one is a little off putting; I much prefer the usual darker orange tones.

USA, England, and most of the others are rather blah, though I suppose that’s better than some of the atrocities that Puma is putting out this year.
 
This is a really enjoyable first half. Leicester are playing really well. Spurs have been poor but they’re oh so dangerous from set pieces, a mixture of Leicester’s weakness and Perisic’s great delivery.

Spurs were not that good in the first half but they were not better. The HT scoreline was fair.

Spurs were more dangerous becuase Leicester can’t defend crosses and set pieces for shit. In open play Leicester controlled the play and were much the better team. Then they hit the self destruct button and handed Spurs the third and after Lloris’ save from Daka only one team was winning the game.

Fair enough. I’ve watched more than enough football in my time to be happy with my judgments. Most of the media here were going that way too.

Control the game all you like but the scoreline said differently. All that possession and control didn’t help them. Those set piece mistakes were extremely crucial. That’s the sport.

Totally! I’ve said spurs looked dangerous on more than one occassion because of Leicester’s inability to defend set pieces and Perisic’s delivery. In open play they were sloppy and Leicester played the better football and looked more dangerous.

Flipped in the second half and spurs dominated both because the third goal and a few defensive mistakes after it shot their confidence.

I also suspect Conte stuck a rocket up them at half time because it’s not the first time this year spurs have come out flying in the second half after a below par first.
