World Cup 2018

Still think Cronaldo dived for that first goal

nah, Nacho was an idiot putting his foot in like that

It would be interesting if they meet again in the final like Spain and Italy in Euro 2012.

I see [MENTION=20484]gasgas[/MENTION] is back with some hall of fame worthy cringe posts.

on topic, excellent game after the soul crushing affairs the earlier 2 games were.

Great game. But three bad and avoidable defensive errors by Spain gave Portugal all three of their goals. On the other hand, Portugal should have had two more goals on wide open counterattacks that were screwed up by Guedes.

He does go down easy. That 2nd goal should have been saved by De Gea.

the Spanish players should know Ronaldo by now not to make that mistake though, sure he goes down easy but he always will. tbh its a good weapon for him as you know 99.9% he will score the penalty.

De Gea is amazing for United but with Spain he doesn't look comfortable

embarassing game by morocco.. smh.. not that the iranians were any good.. both competing in mediocrity.

No way. Seeing Portugal in another final would be just bullshit.

Is it elsewhere like in Germany where the Iranian immigrant population has a better average education than the normal population?

or let's put it this way... had to take-down a few of my Cézannes and Goyas off my 52nd St. Triplex to make room for her diplomas

any1 else hungover form last night? my morning swim through a bloom of jellyfish helped some but I'm still a lil'bit woozy. Think I had a nightmare where CR stole the show shooting down wild Geases while eating nachos.

Glad it was just a dream

for sure. Super easy fall down and Nacho barely put his leg in. Ronaldo wouldn't score from that position either. Quite bad play by defenseman.

This world cup is already more exciting than 2010, where Spain could just 1-0 their way throughout the entire tournament, thats not going to happen anymore.

Oh, and btw, told you that VAR wasnt going to solve much, mistakes were still made in this game, and VAR didnt do shit.

He played for the penalty and went down so easy after minimal contact something he's done a thousand times over the years , sadly thing is it was his Madrid teammate he's mugged off ...... he did the same thing to Rooney all these years ago ..

VAR only shows you images about what happened. It's still the ref who makes the decision.

Exactly, and seeing as so many situations are kinda questionable, even with replay, VAR wont help to solve it.

Not completely. But will fix the blatant wrong decisions. Which is a lot better than nothing.
