And the soccer haters here always say "there isn't enough scoring"

Today's game would have been a 21-21 American football game.

What a game! Haven't enjoyed a game of football this much for a long, long time.

i dont think the disparity of quality between the top teams eg spain & portugal and the others inc uruguay has ever been bigger

[Pudpop]

Spain and Portugal were shit though lmao. Defending like it's 2012 and Wenger's their manager

[Sims]

Spain have been the best team in the tournament by a distance so far imo

Russia say hi

[Sims]

Russia were still trash despite scoring 5 against a non league side

Couldn’t string two passes together

Great game last night.

Valiant effort by Messi to replicate Ronaldo's spectacular performance.

Yep, have them as winners in my prediction league and £10 on them at 7/1. They looked good knocking the ball about but got d*cked by the GOAT.

Will struggle vs Argie if they get through but otherwise don't see a big problem for them til the final.

Also VAR needs to phuck the hell off, it's so annoying.

[Ach]

I like it.

Its had a few shockers. The Costa goal, France and Argentina penalties but in time it will come good

[Santi]

But it's used too often and is like all referee decisions are questioned rather than just the few it should be.

That France pen, unless someone in Moscow could watch the replays and say 100% pen then the game should've carried on cos the ref seemed very sure when he said no pen, why are we even reviewing this shit?

The Peru pen was the one good usage I can remember. Clear as day in first viewing and ref f***ked it.

[Santi]

so many OG's and deflected goals so far, it's almost as if Lampard is playing for every team.
