    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..
  • Great to see the scorpion kick keeper and valdarama just then

    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.

    First pen was saved by the 45 year old keeper!

    That second pen has to be overturned for me.

    Ref reviews his own call and decides it was right... Hmmmm interesting. Not a penalty for me.

    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 of a scissor action in the challenge - always going to be a booking in international football. Right call for me
