Would have been a perfect use for VAR. The whistle went after the GK saved it. Had the ball gone in, the goal would have been awarded within 15 or 20 seconds.

That is true.

Mitrovic's footballing ability is as good as his haircut

The last 5 minutes of this game have been fantastic ...

Looked like Matic spat in that melee.

It will be all over the net soon if he did. Didn't see that myself.

Excellent ! Serbia my adopted team for this tournament cause of the wife. They should make it out of this group

 

[NinjaTuna]

Aluko's got beef with Evra, totally blanked his attempt at humour on how coaches deal with big ego players (Evra's joke was that they should slap them)

Really like this Serbia team. Think they'll get knocked out in the last 16 but I can see them causing Brazil and (probably) Germany plenty of problems. They just need Mitrovic to remember how to score.

Anyone else think Mexico are in for a dismantling?

Probably. Can see nothing other than a comfortable German victory.

If they only had a more complete striker they’d be a very strong team as their solidity and physicality is great and they have a pretty good collection of midfielders. It’s early days for Savic he’s literally only just been installed into the team, the previous manager didn’t pick him for tactical reasons but was replaced really recently, so this tournament may be a little early for him to be a proper fulcrum of the team from the CM/AM position

To think Leroy Sane isn't amongst the German ranks ... The talent they possess

 

[Deleted member 27855]

Anyone else think Mexico are in for a dismantling?

Definitely. The German midfield will boss them.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

I'm hoping for a good game of football.

Looking forward to seeing Lozano play as an aside.

 

[tiger666]

Just paid 30m for you on Footy Manager Hirving Lozano.. Don't let me down!

 

[rez9000]

What a tackle by Boateng!

 

[mpickard2087]

Great chance early on there. Slick move.

 

[rez9000]

This game is shaping up very nicely!
