I generally dislike Spain, but Iran is the worst.

Way to go Spain.

Portugal 4
Spain 4
Iran 3
Morocco 0

Morocco could easily have 4 points. Alas ...

Morocco are a fun side, I just hope somehow Iran doesn't sneak through.

This Denmark/Aussie match is fun.

Robbie Kruse has always been a terrible futbol player.

France is toying with Peru.

Srs question: Can yellow/red cards be awarded post-match? I've been watching that replay of Pepe's nonsense yesterday, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how he wasn't straight booted.

He's the kind of player that if someone on the other side came at him with a flying tackle at mid-thigh level with the studs out and dislocated his hip I'd feel inclined to just be all "play on".

Gianluigi Buffon to Paris St. Germain. Two(!) year contract for Euro 8 MILLION/YEAR (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

They know he is 40, right?

Mbappé was begging for a yellow card. jfc ...

Wonder-boy-coach Julian Nagelsmann (Hoffenheim) to Leipzig??

I thought he was destined to move to some truly major club...

Kind of feel bad for Peru but when you have 9000 chances you should probably connect on one. France hopefully will be punished for their negative football in the round of 16.

Messi is getting so much flak back in Argentina that his freaking mother had to come out and defend him.

I don't know what it is about Messi, but he just doesn't have the swag in the Albiceleste shirt.

I'm an Argentina supporter, but Croatia can totally win this match outright.

Higuain, Dybala, Di Maria on the bench.

Why is a fifteen year old White Stripes song all the rage at this World Cup?

He carried a mediocre Argentina team to the Final in 14. I think this angle is over-stated these days.

And this Argentina team is also mediocre, but more because of an abject refusal to bring the best players, let alone play the best ones you have once you got to Russia.

This game is a grab and foul Fest

It sort of reminds me of a hardheaded coach that for some reason wouldn’t call up and/or play their best players...:

South American Italy thanks you for noticing

but also GD it

Imagine if Yugoslavia was still a country .....to Croatia you would add Kolarov, Matic, and Milinkovic-Savic from Serbia, then Pjanic and Dzeko from Bosnia, and Jan Oblak from Slovenia.

Those midfield choices alone are just crazy

WOW. Did that just happen?!

Wow wow wow
