Brazil are looking scary. I've only just switched on, caught the 3rd goal. Half an hour gone and they've already made it a non-contest... ? Or have they just taken their chances?

[Jam do Bronx]

^ Brazil's been clinical, they're in a state of flow and they're just that much better than south Korea.

I can see Brazil slowing down in the second half, which I would agree they should, why risk injury when it's already in the bag?

[Rocket Spud]

Yeah, it's the kind of performance that would take most teams apart. Agree that they'll probably take it down a gear or two for the second.

I hope South Korea get one in.

[Jam do Bronx]

^ Bistic Meg.

Brazil scoring 4 goals in like 29 minutes, I think. It's scary.

South Korea scoring won my dad bet.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

poor old Japan.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

best two matches today surely

Spain vs Morrocco (last African team left)
Portugal vs Switzerland.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

come on Morocco.
Looks like penalties coming.

[Rocket Spud]

I only switched on twenty minutes ago, haven't really been paying any attention. My mind refuses to believe it isn't Man City playing

[Ronnie_Pickering]

ha I suppose if you've watched a lot of Man City it does look like them. I think it's funny Morrocco are wearing Spain's standard wear.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

morrocco, morrocco

[Jam do Bronx]

What! Great result for Morocco, really pleased for them.

Ronaldo is dropped for tonight's game, something about sulking after being subbed off in the previous game, but dunno if it's related. He really needs to tone his ego down a bit.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Portugal probably win without him.

[Mr. Nobody]

I wonder if Switzerland can pull off an upset like Morocco did?

Flinging Ronaldo and Cancelo on with 15 minutes to go won't be enough.

[Mike.Kzov]

Butter my arse, Morocco have knocked out Spain!

[biscuits]

I feel nervous for Portugal this evening!

in group of nations Switzerland beat Spain and Portugal. But also lost and drew versus them. So they are pretty equal as they see it.

^ England have a decent chance.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

I look away for just one moment to watch the Simspons and Portugal score.

Jam- that means Asia, North America, Africa. I wonder if you could query whether also we might see a Scandinavian team win in our lifetime. Answer probably not.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Who needs Ronaldo

[Jam do Bronx]

I like the look of Joao Felix. Arsenal's been link with him recently, I would love to see him play for us.

What a marvellous first half.

[biscuits]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know if the referees are required to speak specific languages? Is it just arm gestures, pointing, and drawing a box for VAR?

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Not sure Biscuits.

Portugal 5-1 with no Ronaldo.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

*ahem* 6-1

[Ronnie_Pickering]

6-1. If England somehow manage to beat France, they might play Portugal.
