^ Sweden seem like a steady sort of team, though they probably won't get far.

Well, that's settled then: Saudi Arabia will go home with zero points.

It seems the moment i backed Morocco was the same moment that they became shit. They've gone from absolutely dominating/all attack/bound-to-score and then swiftly to very erratic

Iran could nick this.

In answer to the original question - no, not in the slightest.

D'you reckon Ramos knocked/slapped De Gea's head before kick?

Are you watching as many games as you can, Kooky?

Loving how there's football on at weird times all day.
Watching France vs Aussie. Love Griezmann, one of my fave players. France probably have the best squad in this world cup, but hasn't looked good as a team.

What does an undecided French footballer say when he's asked what his favourite part of a woman's body Is?

Plucky Iceland!

Sloppy play from Argentina, pissing about, misplacing passes.

I'm in favour of VAR, just so long as they don't dither too much. It's been fine in this match.

Was there a controversial VAR decision in the France game?

It's even worse when the attacking team don't seem to know how to attack :/

It amazes me that a team with Messi, Aguero and Higuain are struggling in attack.

Yeah, they've been frustrating in an England kinda sense, struggling to create, totally unimaginative, hopeless passing with no thought ...

Meh, there you go - final whistle

Peru vs Denmark next, then Nigeria vs Croatia tonight. This is the life.

But I can't go on like this for the next 4 weeks, I've got a child to raise.

It's tough, man - are all these games 90mins long .. ??

Have you thought about blackmailing your daughter into watching the footie with you? Like, for each match, you could tell her to pick a team to support and then say if they score you'd give her some sweets
