GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Looks like a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Haha. VAR.

The Germans never panic do they.

+6 goal coming. LOL.

Goal for Germany sends Mexico home. It's coming.

That certainly would explain how a midget was able to out-jump a 6ft goalkeeper. Super Maraio

Also, how the hell was this not a penalty? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIQunAQosAs It seems getting the ball first and then following through IS a penalty (France v Australia), yet taking a player out with a clear goalscoring opportunity ISN'T. Did they all bottle the red card scenario? It seems so. VAR is as clear as mud.

If you believe that teams look ahead to who they might play in the knock out stages and try and act accordingly then Belgium v England could end up being a Monty Python match with Belgium playing for a draw and England trying to lose. Also, do Brazil care who they play next? Surely they would want to avoid Germany? If they do they might end up playing for a draw against Serbia and let Switzerland take the group. What do people think? Surely teams and coaches etc. must think in the same way that the media and fans do?

And here's me thinking it's because of moments like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWsEuczNj48

I thought it was the no idea VAR Cat making the decisions.

VAR appears to have it's first decent GIF ?

Var is Great Not sure if you guys following UK coverage (more suppressive) will have seen this, but it was shown on the coverage from the 'cameras on the other side of the pitch'.

? "Even in fiction, Pele's predictions go wrong". I'm gonna contact him and ask if he'll Tweet that England will never ever win the World Cup ever again.

Only Senegal left now. Or it'll be +18 (lol) + another 4 more years before Great Predictor Pele can claim his prize. for reference and context

Exactly that. As I said some days ago . . for all the hustle and bussle of the 'unfancied teams', if you'd missed the first 10 days of the W.C. and looked at the knock out round fixtures you'd be all 'meh, how obvious, at least the real World Cup can start now'. I don't expect South Korea are going to change that. This is probably the raggiest WC group stage ever for the 'big boys'.

Almost looking like a license to print money now . . . almost . . . ?

Iceland OUT!

Best thing to happen to the World Cup ever would be a last minute Iceland winner now.

All those that put the mortgage on Argentina at 33-1 might be getting a bit tense right now.

Iceland equalise. I don't know which game to watch.

This is more like it. Knock out style.

Is anyone watching the Iceland game? Croatia are winning, so for Argentina nothing has really changed with that Nigeria goal, as they needed a goal at 1-0, now they just need a goal at 1-1.

Surely you mean Las Islas Malvinas? ?

I would research the 1994 world cup then revise that nonsense.
