    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

    Weren't they meant to sync the second half kickoffs? Egypt game they all came out on thr pitch and just stood about for a full minute or two before the ref blew his whistle, meanwhile the Russia game restarted 5 mins ago!
  • Uruguay just never look like conceding a goal

    I assume that if the group was tight, they'd be more careful about it.

    I wonder if managers ask their players to go down injured, so that their game finishes later than the other one!

    Russia beat two of the lesser teams and scored 8 goals and have 6 points.
    Soon as they have met a higher quality team you can see there short comings.

    3-0 Cavani, 2 good saves in quick succession by Akinfeev, but the rebound falls straight to the big man

    spain through to the 1/4 i feel as cant see Russia keeping them quiet, as above i think tunisia and panama are probably worse than at least egypt so will be interesting to see how we get on against belgium.

    Uruguay won all 3 games but I don't think they played very well in the first 2 games

    They are the sort of team that does what they have to do, but that performance was pretty good....tight game with Portugal I'd expect....if it panes out that way.

    spain/morrocco is looking VERY tasty at the moment - some really viscious tackles alredy and a few square ups....

    Exceptionally poor touch from Iniesta there, then him and Ramos get confused as fuck, Boutaib very calm finish against one of the best keepers in the world

    Every team is weak at the back. Uruguay are effectively untested

    Annoying really as Spain will lose this game and still go through. Portugal are too close to let Iran win.

    Iran are proving an interesting test here
  • Be quite amusing if after their contrasting tournaments so far, Ronaldo and Portugal end up going out whereas the Argies and Messi scrape through

    Ospina would have shattered into a million pieces had he been clattered like Patricio.

    Spain defending like Germany here.


    Who'd have known that'd be an insult these days?!
