  1. Falcao is a different player now. When he was at United he had only just come back from an ACL and his time at Chelsea was blighted by injury. Now he is fit & has his confidence back he is not far of the Falcao of 2010-2013 although I don't think he will ever hit those heights again as he has lost a yard of pace. The only striker in the England squad better than him is Kane and at his peak Falcao was as good as him. And I would say Uruguay have turned up 3 wins from 3 no goals conceded from their rock solid defence and Suarez and Cavani both on the score sheet. At the moment they would be my favourites to win it.
  2. Huge risk taken by Southgate, yes if we get past Columbia then we have an easier game to get to the semi than if we had won last night. But now we have a harder get just to get to the quarter final. For me Southgate has needlessly put his job on the line against Columbia.
  3. Brazil have basically spent the last 20 minutes passing to Neymar so he can score, the problem is Neymar is not as good as he is hyped up to be and is not in the same class as Coutinho.
  4. The Peru game against Argentina was iffy to say the least. And is disliked it when in 74 & 78 you had no knock out stages and instead had another group stage.
  5. For me this World Cup already ranks alongside 1970 as the best World Cup I have seen. And I think it is going to get even better when the knock out stages commence.
  6. The South Korea goalkeeper was excellent and not for the first time in the tournament. A good shot stopper and commanding on crosses. Mowbray sign him up.
  7. Pele's predictions, always good for a laugh. http://www.goal.com/en/news/2377/top-10/2009/06/23/1338375/top-10-wrong-pele-predictions The thing with Mascherano is that he hasn't played that position in club football for about 7 years & he doesn't have the legs to play in there now. He should be playing in his best position which is centre back & if he did he would be Argentina's best centre back.
  8. You must be the only person outside of Iceland who would have wanted to see Iceland progress. It's been a World Cup of fantastic attacking football, the last thing it needed was Iceland going through playing anti football with 10 men behind the ball for the majority of the game. I'm personally delighted to them and their style of football where it belongs, out of the World Cup.
  9. God bless the Pope, God bless Maradona & God bless Messi. Vamos Argentina
  10. Great finish, but an Iceland goal would still knock Argentina out.
  11. Argentina heading out of the World Cup and Dybala has played just 20 minutes
  12. Meza has been shocking in both games. How has he been brought on ahead of Aguero, Lo Celso and Dybala.
  13. Di Maria has not been the same player ever since he left Real Madrid. A shame really as he was superb in the 2014 Champions League final.
  14. Higuaín really the ultimate big game choker. Non existent again tonight apart from missing a good chance.
  15. Typical BBC no credit for Iran all the refs doing.
  16. Very exciting game that. Iran have been a credit to the tournament
  17. And now Spain equalise to go top of the group
  18. Gave Portugal a pen then never was and then failed to give Iran one for a similar incident. Should have sent Ronaldo of and has given every 50/50 or soft decision to Portugal. At last he gives Iran a decision although he couldn't really not.
  19. If this game had a decent ref Iran would be level at the very least. The officiating so far in this tournament has been excellent but this ref has been awful.
  20. VAR's first major cock up of the tournament.
  21. Uruguay have got to be one of the favourites to win it they will be very difficult to beat in the knock out stages. They have two outstanding centre backs including the best in the world in Godin, they have two match winners up top and unlike in previous years they have some flair and creativity in midfield. As for Russia they were probably better of losing today as it means that they will play their last 16 game at the Luzhniki.
  22. Always in the mix? They haven't won a knockout game in the last 7 cup of nations.
  23. There are numerous other erroneous rankings for example the Dutch are ranked 17 despite failing to make the world cup or Euro 16. Russia one of the team of the tournament so far are ranked 70 a whole 28 places behind Scotland.
