France v Brazil has to be the one true world cup final but a few days earlier. England and the rest after last nights match are no chance against them imo! Uruguay v France 0-1 Brazil vs Belgium 2-1 Russia vs Croatia 0-2 Sweden vs England 1-2 ET goal

Rumours that he's gettable on Footy classified because of being an unrestricted agent at the end of 2019, and a trade being possible this year. "Collingwood linked to him" Like they're linked to everyone. Could we trade Tyson and another player?

We should've just kept Aaron Davey on the list from 2013-2018. He's still 5 years younger than Boomer and probably faster than our current outside mids! ? A shame he played in-between our most successful team of modern era and our current one..

Wow, what an experience! Streets going crazy? Safe flight! What's in Georgia btw? Leaving world cup now?

He might've phoned in to the VAR office during the free kick shirt holding in extra time lol!

Extra time? More like Dinner Time!

Cmon mate, we're not pushing him onto the bread line just yet

FIRST EXTRA TIME!! This makes the day better! Go the Ruskies ??

Geelong probably looking gettable, if we raise our standard. What a depressing topic this one is though tonight.

Murphy signed for 2 years today didn't he?

So I guess the collective energy generated by the arrogance in this thread karmically propelled McCartin towards a dominant display against us, with Petracca down the other end looking a bit aimless and subsequently ineffective! I knew this one would come back to bite us. ? Time for Christian to step up and have a big impact, not that he's alone.

France v Argentina. 1-1. Argentina over time goal 2-1 Uruguay v Portugal 3-0 they will turn it on and cut Uruguays defence to shreds Spain v Russia 4-1 Another lopsided game. Could even be more. Spain to allow Russia 1 goal so Putin lets them out alive. Croatia v Denmark 2-0 I think it will be close but Croatia will score a 90' minute goal to seal it Brazil v Mexico 2-1 Belgium v Japan 2-1 Sweden v Switzerland 0-0, Overtime, Penalty shootout win for Swiss. Probably a bit too brave to tip 0-0 with VAR Colombia v England. 2-2 Overtime win 3-2 England

I'll definitely be cheering on Columbia over England in the "easy bracket" now so it backfires, and Belgium over Japan and Brazil after todays time wasting to eliminate the poor sengalese!

Understandable last 10 minutes with Japan passing it around back. But for Poland to barely give chase at 1-0 and not seek to give their fans some exciting moments before they depart (Like Korea did) was just poor attitude and offensive to watch. Glad we've seen the back of Poland. Hope the Netherlands and Italy return in 4 years in their place. As for yellow cards? I reckon that's 'fair', so long as reffing is consistent, more yellows usually means you've illegally stymied opposition attacks with sloppy defence.

Yeah that was such a fantastic set of games. Ending was pandemonium The mexican fans all biting their nails and looking at their phones in the crowd in the last 20 mins lol this world cup has been amazing. Lots of good goal replays and discussions over on www.reddit.com/r/soccer Check out the sheer joy of the Korean broadcasts: https://streamable.com/9cwhq goal 1 w/ var https://streamable.com/cjij3 Goal 1 /w var https://streamable.com/5xhap goal 2 https://streamable.com/h1ygm goal 2

As an underdog supporter. Today was dissapointing. i was rooting for Nigeria or Iceland, but as is always the case in sport and politics lately, nothing went my way! Argentina scoring a goal right at the end to beat Nigeria is like Joel Selwood kicking a goal after the siren to beat an underachieving team like Freo, who i'd prefer to see go further than Geelong. Anyway, no matter how much we dominate possession and have our oppurtunities, i still don't think we deserve much credit. If the oppositions aim is just to take a lead and defend it, then what we do after they score means nothing if we don't equalize or win. Peru put on a masterclass in taking their opportunities and i was happy for their fans. A shame they didn't draw Denmark. Many people saying we deserved more, but i disagree. So now we're 5 goals conceded from this WC. 9 goals in 2014, 6 goals in 2010. I still think i would have preferred to be following a tight defensive team like Iran no matter how little ball they had. They kept in each match. Conceding only two goals and being 1 shot and 1 point away from the 16. An epic performance with Portugal and Spain in their group.

Iran have been my favourite neutral team to watch so far. Doing the best with what they've got, holding the dam wall and counterattacking. I can't believe they had that shot on goal at the end. It felt like scoring 2 goals against Portugal was a 1% chance when Portugal were all over them hogging possession at 1-0. It's absurd that they nearly won that game. I kind of wish we had a team that barely concedes a goal each world cup, gives you more of a chance at progressing if you take your oppurtunities. here we are against Peru, and even if they score 1 goal, we're up against it to progress at 2-1 with our goal difference, hoping france who've been unremarkable, smash denmark... But... I reckon France might even not go for the big win because they hate us after the physical first game. Happy to tie i bet. At 0-0 or 1-0 both teams might park the bus knowing our match is close. ?

I just had a depressingly hilarious stat spring up into my mind: Will we end up having the highest % for a team that's missed the 8 (If we miss) - That is one record that nobody wants to ever have.

Wow. Germany with the late free kick goal. Poor Sweden. Another great game. Gee this world cup is really kicking the AFL's arse for spectacle. Every one of them entertaining in the least and gripping, intense and nail biting at best. Loving the fluidity of ball movement.

Goody has a bit of work to do if he's going to beat Chris Scott. I do think we can match them everywhere else around the ground though.

next 3 matches have come at best possible time to get momentum again and give us a 2nd chance to springboard off it with a more gelling 22 to take on the good teams

Adel and Gws will be interesting . If we get job done on 4 bottom sides, then those 2 games are big.idstill think hawks, gws or kangas will lose some unexpected games and we will do enough without beating wcesydgeel. Best one of them and top 4 or 5/6 is still possible

bloody kruze, every first touch seemed a metre too far and easily blocked and turned over

I loved the match last night, it was so gripping on TV. I don't know much about soccer, but i found this game like a game of Chess. Only one opponent is chasing the King to get a check-mate for half an hour and the other is running away/holding tight defensively one queen down. Even though Iran had some great look ins and should've equalized. Just a very dramatic tense match. Low scoring tight contests have their own beauty compared with the free flowing goaled games, in AFL too.

We'll be perfectly prepared for the Alice game with the overhanging tree in the pocket
