What is the ref at, giving the Saudis that penalty? He's basically declared this game non-contact. The cliche of "Justice done" was never more apprpos.
Fantastic second half between Denmark and France,end to end….
Argentina look very brittle out there. A lot of players already running scared, the Mexican press is working really well. It's remarkable they are in this position already.
Thank god for Lionel Messi!
Thought that Argentina Mexico game was terrible stuff, neither team with any real fluency or structure at all.
Your poor WhatsApp buddies! Couldn’t disagree more and think he’s a quality player, quality striker. Himself and Pickford, I’d say, kept Everton in the PL last season and he’s been Evertons best player pretty much throughout his time there. He’s not your stereotypical Brazilian forward, granted,nor is he likeable (unless he plays for a team you support) but he is very good, very effective and makes and scores plenty of goals. A goal every 3 games for Everton (43 in 135) and a goal every 2 for Brazil (19 in 39).Quote:

I’ll be wearing the Croatian jersey but cheering on the inside for Canada I think. If my mask slips and they/she knifes me, thanks for all the laughs lads.
I recommend No Celebrating if Canada score / win ! !Quote:

Delighted for Morocco,supporters were brilliant!
Morocco win the day with a desire to attack. Man, I love football.
Croatia v Canada is great too.
Yeah, Canada have run out of steam though.Quote:

Canada not helped by their insistence on doing everything at top pace all the time and giving it away a lot.
Impeccable. So much smarter than Canada.Quote:

So much more impressive than Belgium too, who struggled with Canada all night.Quote:

Very funny that England and Chelsea let Musiala get away,he is an incredible talent,I hope Germany go through just to watch more of him…..
We have us a belter this morning!
Cameroon 1-0 up going into first half injury time, but at the break it's 2-1 Serbia.
A third for Serbia, and it looked game over. But as we found against them, Serbia have a weak side in terms of seeing out matches, and Cameroon have just scored twice in as many minutes - one a beautiful little dink when it looked like the chance had passed -- and it's 3-3
(Or is it actually? VAR offside check in progress)
Edit - goal stands. 3-3 with a quarter of the game to go.
