With VAR, this is an improvement on what we saw in our domestic game, but it is still a work in progress. It works pretty well in both codes of rugby, but you have rucks, tackles and so on.

Just saw the Mpabbe goal. He's a French David Nugent. And the Aussie penalty? The ref must be a punk fan as he expects everyone to pogo like The Slits are on stage.

They (Argentina) are a hollow team. What I mean is that they have a great attacking shell, all these big name forwards, but no midfield, no defence. No Core or spine. Feel sorry for Zabaleta. I always liked him as a player and he had to watch that.

Bye bye Messi? It is 2-0.

Maybe Jason Steele has an Argentine grandad.

Whoops! Goalie muffed it for the Argies in an epic cock up. The Argies may be looking at the exit doors now. They are rancid.

Yeah, it is good in a crazy way.

Different groups DE, but it is a mad game tonight. Awful defending, worse finishing and some really bad fouls. Iceland may have a chance for qualification.

I would be happy if Rovers signed a couple of the Peruvian players, not that we can afford them. They've done well against the 'better' teams and seemed to have a lot of pace and heart. And how bad is the defending in the Argentina vs. Croatia game?

That Hameed has fallen off a cliff in form. He didn't look bad in India, then went to poo. What went wrong?

The Bush whackers are still around. I know because my cousin had a tag team against them in New Zealand a few months ago!

Have they stopped booking dives now? A few matches have had blatant dives that were not punished.

There was another Portuguese player called Beto or something Ferguson bought when the player was 16. He was supposed to be a great young striker, but disappeared.

Smith and Warner will be too busy crying like babies at press conferences to have an effect.

The Aussies are not the same when they can't cheat.

Paddy power will be paying more money to homosexual causes then. They advertised they'll pay for every goal Russia scores.

World record ODI is on here. Got TMS on and Morgan has 63 off about 24 balls. It looked like 500 was up for grabs at one point.

Sterling was pretty quiet during the game, and looked a little short of confidence in taking players on with his pace. When Rashford came on, it looked a bit better as he is a bit more direct in the central areas.

And the Russian hooligans are all at home because the FSB knocked on their doors and told them to behave. Falcao must have the wrong boots on because he keeps falling over.

With this talk of licenses for teams, it sounds like a fiddle so the FA scum can get their favourite rich teams in and change the rules to suit that.

Ther ref must have a Tunisian wife/husband.

2 penalties now not given. Good thing the world cup isn't in the USA or Tunisia would have knee capped Kane with an AR-15.

The VAR seems much quicker and efficient than we saw in the Premier league.

Though it is not the market we're shopping in perhaps the world cup has delayed things, as lower status premier league teams are scouting it, and therefore are holding off buying and selling until players show their abilities and are back in their clubs. So players who are being replaced won't be shipped out or loaned out until they know their squad.
