I'd far rather play Russia than Uruguay. Portugal v Uruguay is a match of 2 teams most likely to cause red cards. Should be a cracker.
A smidge too var. I say give all players mobile phones so that we can see incidents from 21 angles, oh what fun. Let's have cameras in the ball too and cameras in the turf. lets spend 85 minutes watching replays and 5 minutes of extra time. Yeah!
VAR, mainly. The ref kept stopping it and looking at various incidents, then giving the wrong decision. It was all a little odd... And I had 1-0 to Portugal, too. Cheers, ref. Twat.
They are doing their best to turn it into a circus. Remember The medium is the message - Marshall McLuhan a very far seeing gent of global village fame.
