and then boom.... miracle with 1.5 mins left?

Great game marred by some nonsense at the end of the game. Kicking a ball at someone like that is childish and emblematic of th deeper issues with this Argentina side. They gotta clean house with their coaching staff and start over with some better leaders.

Sad to see my last rooting interest out, but at least it was an exciting game.

Guess I gotta root for France for my Ivoirian buddy. He likes the colonizers I guess.

Not a Spain fan, just want to see Putin tears. Hoping for a 4-0 thrashing.

anyone else think Kate Abdo is smoking hot?

Spain is what Italy was there for decades... talented but so cynical in their tactics. You have to admire how good they are with it but it makes a terrible watch.

Did they set a new record for possession outside of the box?

Can we just get to PKs already.

Wow looked a pentalty on Ramos to me....

 

[NDRock]

[Irish YJ]

Putin so happy he be like

 

[ACamp1900]

Russia is ranked 70th currently... well below us and even far below Scotland...

 

[IrishLax]

Rigged.

 

[ACamp1900]

They just showed the Brazil VW commercial again... that chick makes me lightheaded

 

[NorthDakota]

Good for the Russians. Those people need something good in their lives

 

[ACamp1900]

Things are lining up nicely for Croatia assuming they handle their business

They should definitely be the favorite on that side to reach the finals now.

I think a little vodka might be consumed tonight. The atmosphere has to be the happiest it's been for years... At least since their last big victory in late 2016.

 

[ACamp1900]

Huge opportunity for Neymar now all other things considered

 

[calvegas04]

Shakira has cheering up to do for her husband tonight

 

[ACamp1900]

Wow

 

[ACamp1900]

Shakira has cheering up to do for her husband tonight

Had no idea she wasn’t married to the Argentinian dude anymore... lol... Pique with a scandal there according to how quickly they got married afterwards, anyway, yeah, I think he’ll be just fine tonight...

 

[Irish YJ]

well that was quick...
4 mins and two goals. wonder what the WC record is for 2 goals.
Anyone know the over/under lol

As slow and boring that tiki taka is, you have to hand it to Russia for being mentally tough enough to keep formation and defend like crazy.

I guess I'm the only one rooting for England here. Growing up, I liked the way they played, especially Scholes. England, Belgium, Croatia in that order.

Looking at the right side of the bracket, according to 538's live projections, England has an 23% chance to reach the final, while Croatia has a 19% chance. (Link: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-world-cup-predictions/?addata=espn:frontpage)

Absolutely. It's going to look really bad if England lose to Columbia or Sweden/Switzerland. I believe they will be favored in all of their games until the final (if they make it that far). However, playing against Columbia, Sweden/Switzerland, and Croatia are completely different than playing against Brazil, France, and full squad Belgium.
