    I do hope the theme that "a well drilled side is better than one containing a single excellent player" continues into the Championship next season...

    Missed both games as was out yesterday. Just watched Uruguay, saving the France game as the main course. Cavani's second goal was a joy. Great to see Ronaldo go out, and that poor Portugal team. Torriera had another masterful game. He would add so much to Arsenal.

    France game was a belter. They looked devastating on the break. some stunning goals over both games. Pavard's was my favourite.

    I had the exact same thought when I first saw it. It was interesting to see Mark Clattenburg on ITV say it was the right call. Ramos managed to wrap the defenders arm around him apparently, and make it look like he was dragged down. It was still a poor challenge, but not a "clear, obvious error"

    The Denmark game started of promising, but then the next 70 minutes have been pretty dull.

    I thought the Ramos tussle was both fouling each other. Pique who was in front of them was held down and prevented from jumping for the header.

    Croatia looked sh*te. Not worried about them anymore. Colombia is a big challenge. Get through that, and we have as good a chance as any.
