not exactly a fan of the Virtually Awful Refereeing system, think decisions even themselves out over the season, takes out the excitement of the game, & it ain’t exactly reliable, (France penalty that never was against Australia)

France weren’t convincing earlier, Argentina ditto tonight

But not in a knockout tourney.

Decisions have been quick so far but the refs are leaning on it a bit much. Not bad for early days though. I like it.

Argentina making Lovren look like a competent reliable defender :shock:
Yep, got the Argies in the sweep in work, kiss of death.

Croatia always a good watch in major tournaments. Their players give everything for the cause.

fair play to Rakitić after scoring that third goal, first thing I would’ve done is find Otamendi, showed real class that

Anyone know the odds at halftime of Croatia winning 3-0 in the CS market ? :)

The more and more I watch each game the more I think we could have a new World Cup winner this year.

If Germany don't fire then it could be Mexico. :)

I hope your right. Of course would rather England win then my bank account. But I’ll take Mexico.

Belgium will be a real test. Beat them, & then I think it's between us & Spain. We deserved to batter the "best side in Africa"!

With more and more teams being added to these tournaments in the future I do wonder if it will produce obscure winners.

Since the age of about 6 seeing England win a World Cup is on the bucket list! Remember crying myself to sleep when I was 8 in Euro 96!!
Not getting my hopes up at all but I beleive England have a genuine 10% chance so far. If they could do that at each tournament i might see them win a World Cup one day.
