QuoteWhat 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.
Some amount of play acting from the Saudis,the ref not helping things either…..

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.

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).Originally Posted by Stuttgart88
Such a great Brazilian goal. Such a shame it was Richarlison. On evidence of Premier League I'd say he's one of the poorest Brazilian forwards in my lifetime. Literally seconds before his first goal I was telling pals in a WhatsApp chat he was a waste of space out there and lucky to be in the squadBut he looks at home in that side tbf. I thought Brazil looked even better after their subs.
In other news… feeling a bit weird going into tomorrows game between Croatia and Canada. Really like Canada and what they show on the pitch - as well as it having been good to me - on the other hand my Croat wife and her family are going beserk. 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 ! !
Well you watch Everton so I'll bow to your more experienced judgment. But I still wouldn't have him in my "better" Brazil forwards in my lifetime!

Hard to remember a bigger drop off in a player than Eden Hazard,easily one of the best players in Europe at Chelsea to what he is now,sad to see…..

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.
The way Croatia reassessed what they needed to do and took control of midfield is very impressive.
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.
Alphonso Davies shows how big a difference even one world class player can make to a generally fairly average team and it’s prospects. Something we are sorely missing!
So much more impressive than Belgium too, who struggled with Canada all night.
Tough on Canada in the end, but hopefully they can finish on a high. Very interesting final day in that group.
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.
