    Commentator just said it was an absorbing 90 minutes. Is absorbing the new boring?

    yes it is if you take out the letters a s and b!

    Spain are pretty poor. Russia are very negative but Spain don't seem to have the nous to open them up.

    Need to be more direct in the final third.

    Isco looks heavy legged now. Koke is shit. Just get two subs on and tell them if they don't not need emergency oxygen treatment at the end of extra time they will never play for Spain again!

    Russia covered 110km in the 90 minutes. 13/14KM more than France/Argentina, 4KM more than Portugal/Uruguay, 6KM more than Spain. IMO they should be knackered.

    They are getting more than their fair share of resting time because the Spanish are just passing the ball about and the Russians can sit back in their own half and wait

    Absolutely no urgency from Spain here, half the side are just walking about.

    Don't see why they just took Asensio off for a striker, why not take off a defender? Russia haven't got out of their half for about 20 minutes.

    Just had a full blown row with a 7yr old as the stubborn little sod won’t have it that you are only allowed to make 3 subs.

    Wannabe ‘know it all’ cited some Chelsea v Leicester game this season where he remembered them both making 4 subs. Told him he was talking nonsense.

    So imagine my delight when in the 97th min Russia make a 4th substitution....

    And I’ve sneakily looked up that Chelsea game and he was right with that...

    When did all this change???

    About 2 years ago i think. Sure it first started at the Rio Olympics

    Definitely. Russia have absolutely no interest in trying to win this game in normal/extra time.

    Direct running at last after a great spin by Rodrigo. Pace is the name of the game in this world cup.

    Yes, their drugs are wearing out. But Pens gives them a 50/50 chance so you can't blame them! Great for England if Russia get through! If they do and Denmark beat Croatia we could be looking at a SF v Russia or Denmark!!!!!!!!

    Spain do seem to be quite focused on kicking the ball as hard as they can straight at the Russian standing in front of them.

    Thought that would at least be reviewed by the ref.
  • HuskarisHuskaris
    If it was anyone other than Ramos appealing for that I would have sympathy with that decision.

    You can dislike players like Ronaldo because of their attitude and arrogance, but players like Ramos are a different type of cheating, scummy bastard.

    That'll confirm uspicious when every Russian penalty rips the net clean off come the shootout ;)
  • MuttleyCAFCMuttleyCAFC
    Amazed when it went to VAR that a penalty wasn't awarded. That looked a bit dodgy!
  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    Russia main penalty taker has been subbed.
  • The Red RobinThe Red Robin
    Smacks of South Korea 2002. Two penalties for Spain in that. Not one given.
  • paulie8290paulie8290
    Golovin on pitch 117 minutes
    Rodrigo on pitch 13 minutes

    Both chase the ball with Rodrigo having a head start.

    Golovin beat him to the ball.

    Do you need anymore proof
