I must admit, I really hate watching Tiki Taka. Come on Russia!
Very dull at times, compare that to how the French, Mexicans, Brazillians and dare I say it England play (at times). The Fourth goal by France is how football should be played....5-6 passes from back to front with the last one being a shot into the net.

Absolutely loved that one, similar to Belgium's third one yesterday as well. And Stones' second goal against Panama has been stuck in my mind too. Beautiful teamwork.
Worst game of the knockouts by a country mile. 2 of the least inspiring teams left in the competition. It has the feel of a mid table premier league game a bit - if the team names weren't in the corner i'd swear I was watching Southampton V Watford.... absolute snoozefest

Spain/Russia sent me to sleep to be honest, but this is just as bad...may pick up in the 2nd half.
Think this is the game ive least enjoyed in the whole World Cup, not even because it’s a particularly bad game. I just can’t wait for tonight to be over. Preferred when we came in to the completion with no expectation, everything has gone way too perfectly so far and that just doesn’t happen to England.
Does everyone appreciate that these players are not wearing soft soled running shoes but hard studded football boots?
Obviously Neymar was trodden on and the Mexican should have received a red or yellow card.
But even the 7 year old who was watching with me commented on Neymar's play acting.
Please tell me you did recognise that his rolling and writhing was acting ? Not to mention the fact that he was as right as rain straight after.
Try pressing down on something with the front of your foot with your ankle on the floor at a similar angle. It's an extremely weak muscle. There's no leverage. I'm sure it didn't hurt one bit.
Just tried this experiment. I can guarantee if anyone were good enough to let me try the experiment on their shin bone just above the ankle whilst I am wearing hard studded football boots the words coming out of their mouths would not be expressions of how surprisingly painless it was!
Did you have plenty of space around you to roll around like a spoilt little girl that didn’t get her own way?
How about a spoilt little boy who didn't get his own way?

(Ok - I know it's now going to be something like 8-7 and described as the greatest match of all time!!)

I got 5 on BTTS wins for Swiss and England.
And this tweet reply is funny:
Absolute pants in this game.
Neither are used to getting to the Quarter-Finals and wont want to throw this chance away
If and I say if we get past Columbia I'd fancy us to beat either of these comfortably.
This match is proving a turkey.
