Aye, fair play to Aussies certainly more than sum of their parts. Tunisia would probably have beat Danes if being more aggressive when playing them in match 2 or 3 though too tbf.

Sickener for Tunisia but they fucked it by losing to Aus

Not sure how arsed Denmark are about going out tbh

Khaz for me like

Aussies being awful is hardly news but quite surprising how insipid Denmark have been in every match pretty much

Thought Tunisia looked decent against Denmark but shite against Australia, can see Aussies shithousing a result today but hopefully Tunisia can make things interesting by showing up against the French reserves

Was facts not stats but point stands

You can prove anything with stats

Some of those Iranian shenanigans at end were farcical, have they scrapped yellow cards for simulation?

That defending

The concept of Kane as a sweeper striker is an interesting one. England will surely win but they don't give themselves much margin for error.

I'd take five games a day, throw one in at 7am

Least Ronaldo be fuming he's not on to take it

Feel like VAR has destroyed the possibility of any proper nasty off the ball stuff in matches like this with players knowing they have no chance of getting away with it, just all snide niggly stuff instead

Portugal so impotent for a side full of very good footballers, it's probably a lot to do with CR but their tactics are dreadful too

Most entertaining match so far for me, feels like Cameroon deserve more than a must win against Brazil after that comeback

Spain should do the decent thing and throw the match against Japan if they win this, be top on goal difference anyway

This thing of defenders intentionally standing in front of set pieces to prevent them being taken quickly should be cracked down on tbh

Shame the wrong team won but more of this please

I am no Japanese football judge but their team selection does seem weird, Tomiyasu is surely deserving of a place too

Least there was only one minute added on

Possibly not the most spectacular Argentina team of recent times but they hadn't lost in ages prior to Saudi match, they're plenty good enough

If Pickford had let that in there'd be a lot of arm length comments (I thought it was a great finish and Pickford does have T Rex arms)

Wonder how much the pressure of achieving something at World Cup while Messi is playing is a factor, different team in SAM qualies and Copa America

This game will definitely produce some form of drama anyway, ref has ensured there's going to be some mayhem before the end with the precedent he has set so far
