What a header

That result has actively pissed me off, Argentina deserved fuck all.

Fuck off Argentina

Which one is among the favourites for the world cup again?

Impressive from Iran if dull to watch

Don't think ITV control the camerawork. Ridiculous that goal doesn't stand. nope because it happened on irish tv too must be fifa controlled and given to the rights holders otherwise there'd be countless cameras for every game

overall very impressed by the French, quality and good depth in all positions and a perfectly balanced side too. Most impressive side so far in the world cup

Debuchys fault that

diabolical showing from Spain, no fight at all even at the end

quite frankly on the last two showings of the sides I'd expect them to, at least Australia put up damn good fights in both games and tried everything, while spain continue trying something that clearly isn't working

not had all that good a year. And I'd personally hope the more extreme form where possession is the sole goal rather than any real attempt to score as many goals as possible is dead and gone. Think teams are better set up to play against it now nature of things, formations and systems come and go as teams get the chance to watch it repeatedly they're bound to figure out the best way to play against it sooner or later especially in the modern era with the much larger amount of information and videos of games available to study how teams play.

Worth noting that even Ancelotti didn't restore him to the starting XI. doesn't disprove the Mourinho ruining him theory. Whatever the debate about that (personally I think it was more a power struggle and spitefullness from mourinho) he's clearly not recovered his confidence in the slightest and Del Bosque was mad and or ridiculously and stupidly stubborn to start him

Not his fault, tbh. Not completely but he could have done better not sure how the hell he didn't get dropped, not as if Spain are lacking in options on that front with Reina and De Gea who are more than good enough to play for most sides at this world cup

dunno, xavi and iniesta are two incredible players but Zidane just had this x-factor that made him more special. Hell not that it makes all that much difference all incredible players who were and are a joy to watch

he was the only highlight!

yet looks better than the rest of the nigeria team

come on shola score it would be great even for a brief period that shola would have more world cup goals than rooney

oddly looking forward to this game, very curious about the Iran side

Sky Sports News ‏@SkySportsNews 53s Southampton have officially appointed former Dutch international Ronald Koeman as manager on a 3-year contract #SSN

I really don't rate Vermaelen as a defender in the slightest

suspended pending appeal to court of arbitration of sport (I think its to them anyway) so basically worst case scenario buying time for this window to get their shit done for next few windows and rely a bit on their academy.

missed first 20 mins of uruguay game and gave up half way through japan ivory coast, in retrospect watching it in bed wasn't the best way to try and stay awake.

disappointing

yaya territory this free kick
