As FIFA haven’t got Messi or Ronaldo through they have to make sure the hosts get to the semi-finals.
Good riddance to Spain, based on that performance. They may be wonderful technically, but they played at a walk and inexplicably failed to get more than a couple of players into the box at a time.Their tika-taka amounted to two hours of playing keepaway.
Surprised how **** de Gea was at saving penalties. If he had stood up and not dived he would have stopped at least two.
RDBDamus strikes again. Had this game on my 'do not watch' list, and rightly so it seems. Right, time to get ready for Modric vs Eriksen.
Realising he hadn't been ****ish enough in this tournament, Sergio Ramos became the first player in World Cup history to have two pauses in his penalty run-up. It's a shame the ref didn't do their job and make him retake it, only for his second attempt to go hurtling towards Vladivostok...
