Cracking games overnight. Brazil won’t sleep well giving penalties to untried players when you have Silva and Neymar there! Madness

Neymars goal was genius. But he should have scored the easy chances

    Well done to Croatia (who also made the final in 2018) They really do punch above their weight

    Argentina get through after a classic match against the Dutch

    Can Morocco continue their run against Portugal? They are every chance

    And then the biggie ... England vs France.  Another classic match-up. I favour the French but only slightly

    Greece Euro Cup 2004 vibes from Morocco after that win. One game away from the Final, never in your wildest dreams. The first African nation to make a semi-final, magnificent effort. 
    Ronaldo very emotional but I didn’t like it when he walked straight down the race after the whistle. Show some sportsmanship and shake some hands. It’s not all about him.

    Fascinating the Var interpretations. For example, though there is green grass between the ball and the line before the Japanese boot, today's Var interpretation clearly shows that the Frog defender's foot fowled the foot of the Sassenach well into the sacred penalty zone. For once, I agree with the consternation of the Sassenachs.

    What does it tell you about VAR?????

    VAR is a joke and has borderline ruined football for me. you can barely celebrate a goal these days

    the ref in the England game was hopeless. Make no decisions and wait fir VAR. The two pens were so nice bivouac

    A combination of retirement, 10am and 1/4/7pm ko times and -2 temperatures outside have meant I’ve watched pretty much the whole thing. The referees have been competent and consistent throughout imo. Until last night that is. That eccentric clown should be on the first plane back to Rio.

    Anyway, Qatar should now get the final they want with their two PSG darlings.

    The first France goal could have gone either way with the VAR intervention, can imagine some frustration from the English but they can't have any other VAR complaints in that loss. 

    Kane was fouled outside of the box so VAR looked and could do nothing. The on-field referees were poor missing the incident.

    Shocking scenes at the Victory v City game tonight…there’s a way to protest and that wasn’t it. Hope they catch those mugs that assaulted players and throw the book at them.

    What a final. One for the ages. 

    I could not believe what I was witnessing. The Mbappe volley, the last long range France header opportunity to win in regular time, the Messi tap in for 3-2, the handball penalty, and the final save in Extra Time by Martinez were moments of shock and amazement. That Argentina had the game won and France equalised and THEN had real opportunities to win it, was just crazy.

    You could easily make a case that this was the greatest international game in history. Messi was magic (aside from the error that led to France's second), and Mbappe's pure ball striking ability is really something to behold. Never has the Olympic torch changed hands so easily!

    It certainly rivals 7-1! 😂🇩🇪  🇧🇷😭

     I'm not old enough to remember anything below 1998, so it's slim pickings for finals that rival it. Bloody 2006 I fell asleep and woke up after Zidanes headbutt lol

    94 my earliest but more moments than in detail as I was in Primary School.

    2006 wasn't our fault. the final was on a Saturday (early Sunday Morning). Was in my more social days so I had been out drinking and came home for the match, I did indeed pass out during the match. But back then you could get Spirits at clubs extremely cheap so not entirely my fault (It was entirely my fault).

    The Socceroos were what it was all about back in 2006 obviously. It was such a great moment for Australia, a great sense of collective joy that we all shared.. Watching highlights brings a tear to the eye with the SBS commentary. Penalties against Uruguay, Timmy Cahill, and of course the Lucas Neal challenge lol. What a time to be alive!

    went up to Sydney for the Uruguay game, forever one of the greatest moments of my life.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
