Ooft .... jist noticed DRC are 1-0 up!  

Great goal but a bad one to lose if you’re English. Wasn’t even on the counter attack, DR Congo started well. 

[Jute]

England winning now. Kane double. Think they will struggle to get past Mexico playing like this especially at the back. 

[Mason89]

Congo were bollocks second half. A decent side would’ve rinsed England 

Everyone can relax 

[Jupiter]

Doctor Congo were better than I was expecting, and England were worse.

[Kowalski]

They really are fuck all without Kane. 
Bellingham lucky to stay on the park. 
 

The sooner they meet a team with a decent attack the better.

Belgium were down and out five minutes ago. It's 2-2 now.

Some finish that. Senegal will be gutted as they were strolling to easy 2-0 win. Belgium offered no threat until last 5 minutes.

Last minute VAR call to award a penalty to Belgium. Correct call I think but Senegal having another meltdown.

[Jute]

No idea how Senegal managed to lose this. They were comfortably winning the game with 5 minutes to go. Belgium through somehow.

I couldn’t believe the end to that game. Was annoying as was enjoying another Belgian failure. FFS.

I get all of these comments

HOWEVER

I genuinely believe that there is more chance of Belgium beating The Nigels than the likes of Senegal therefore all good

Spain a goal up against Austria

That's a crazy stat about Oyarzabal. 

Sixteen goals for his country in his last sixteen starts 

[Jute]

Austrian keeper making some great saves to keep score respectable.

Make that 17 goals.

Most importantly we got closure on the Bob the cat story.

Just watched the highlights of the Portugal v Croatia game. Some game it seems. Two very, very dodgy calls from VAR. The first is a very soft pen. The second is just guesswork. Clear and obvious guesswork. Shambles. Probably had directives from the advertisers to keep Ronaldo in at all costs. Some good stuff from both teams, and extra time would have been interesting.

Penalty was definitely on the soft side but seen them given. The goal that was chopped off in injury time was a farce. Even in slow motion you cannot definitively see a touch so not clear and obvious error and no way VAR should have got involved.

VAR was introduced so that no team would ever get knocked out of a tournament (or prevented from going to one) by terrible refereeing decisions. It's good that it's gone full circle and is now in charge of all terrible decisions. Agree about the pen, although they've correctly been ignoring those all tournament, which has been refreshing to watch. It wasn't clear and obvious either, but subjective.

You would be raging if you're a Croatian.  Nothing wrong with that goal imo
