I find it remarkable that pundits and commentators still don't understand the "whole of the ball over the whole of the line" rule. They seem confused about the curvature being part of the ball (even though it's a ****ing sphere).

They're demanding to see conclusive proof that the ball stayed in, but if there isn't any proof you go with the on-field decision. theyre asking the wrong thing, you need conclusive proof it was out, not proof it was in.

Japan rewarded with a game against Croatia, whereas runners up Spain, get Morocco.

I think the on field decision was no goal and VAR overturned that decision, I could be wrong
 
South Korea beat Portugal in last min and now going through over Uruguay and ghana

Uruguay need 1 more goal in last 5 mins.
 
Cavani hooks his leg around the Ghana defender trying to buy a pen.... Moron Rio (and the others) think it was clever and Cavani should have had a pen.

Not a Pen for me. Forcing a player to foul you by fouling them yourself isn't a pen.

Was an absolute stonewall pen. Cabanas gets in front of the defender who kicks the back of his leg. Not sure how much more obvious could get tbh

So that puts France, or Poland as a potential QF opposition and
Spain, Morocco, Portugal, (Serbia or Switz) SF.

... if we get past Senegal.

Spain and France biggest hurdles to the final?- Senegal without Mane will still be a strong challenge too although not as bad as if he were there.



Brazil, Argentina and Netherlands possible final opposition (if we made it that far).
 
Another American poxy phrase .....<grr><grr>
I hate it when commentators say something like "he's playing almost like a quarter-back there". I have no idea how a quarter-back plays as I have no interest (or should I say zero interest?) in American sports.
I don't mind that some people do, but please keep their specialist terminology where it belongs.
