How come Ramos pen was allowed to stand (not that i care about the shithouse) i thought those run ups were fouls (remember Son's getting ruled out for Spurs)

Wonder if Real Madrid will get any shit from their national press over the whole management thing?

The VAR thing in ET, my view was that Ramos was looking for a pen and doing just as much of the holding as the Russian, as for the other one (Pique was it?) that wasn't enough for a pen IMHO six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Russia played to their strengths, it was dull sure, but Barca/Madrid's face teams that play that style all the time so they can't use that excuse, if you're the side to face them down the line you know what's coming, plan accordingly.

Annnddd finally...



Take that Fibreglass, Ramos & Biscuits you utter utter ****

The Spanish should be licking their lips at their route to the final. Pretty much a certainty they will get there. They'll beat Russia easily today and then they'll win by a short scoreline against Croatia (who are now in the "so underrated they're overrated" category judging by this thread), and then beat whatever team comes out of the other bracket.

They're a top team with top players, and after their failure in the previous World Cup they'll feel they need to set the record straight, similar to Brazil.

Nailed it.

Russia wont win this on penalties so right now its all about delaying their inevitable defeat as much as they can

England are an awful, awful team btw. Colombia will wipe the floor with them as I think Falcao, Cuadrado, James and Quintero are too much for that shitshow defence to handle. Looking forward to seeing them in the next round and England fail once again

Vámos Cafeteros!

Wonder what odds you'd get for Kane scoring a hat trick in the final?
Dunno but I'd imagine that right now, given that we're only in the last 16, massive.

I chucked a fiver into the fire on him to score at hat-trick against Colombia at 28/1 so that might give you some idea.

Whilst I certainly don’t want to see that kinda game ever again... it has to be said that Spain were super negative. Dier was more incisive with his passing against Belgium than the shower of shizzle Spain served up.

Yes Russia defended deep, but Spain just shoved it around with "patient tika-taka", bad bad bad. They had such a grip they should have gambled but no. Like Germany, they were too pretentious and paid the price. Deserved.

Who did you put that on with? That's tempting.
