    Will be interesting to see how Group B matches play out later. Portugal could easily put 3 or 4 past Iran while Spain win 2-1.

    Would mean Russia v Portugal and Uruguay v Spain..

    im expecting portugal to get turned over.

    Something I've been thinking about regarding the way the knock-out rounds work - I think it would be better for the competition if instead of having certainty of group A playing B etc you had a draw for the knock-outs - so all the group winners in one pot and all second places in another - would make it fairer and stop any perceived manipulation to try and play for second place if it seemed beneficial. Just a thought.

    fair point,

    but this is the organisation that gave qatar a world cup on footballing grounds :neutral:

    Second penalty for Saudi Arabia, going to VAR
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    First pen was saved by the 45 year old keeper!
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    That second pen has to be overturned for me.

    Longest VAR review of the tournament.

    Ref reviews his own call and decides it was right... Hmmmm interesting. Not a penalty for me.
  • sam3110sam3110
    Given, taken, scored this time
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Ref was told by VAR that it was reviewable but he looked at the footage and stayed with his original decision.

    Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev hasn't made a save at this World Cup yet. He's conceded three.

    He's shit. Gets his defender to push the attacker out of the way for the Suarez free kick so he can see it struck, leaves about a 1 metre gap between him and the post............then still lets it in!

    Bit annoyed Russia went down to 10 though... will totally mess up the distance covered stats I was interested in having a look at at the end of the groups! Was going to be interesting considering the heat in Moscow today as well. Grrr

    Always good to have a bit if disagreement between the pundits

    I notice you only tend to get this with older pundits, especially those who've worked in management as well, rather than the younger "professional" pundits who tend to sing from the same hymnsheet
