Dive.

although he put another one in the back of the net


He's definitely playing inspired, and this is a great match, but even with VAR I can't believe that was still a pen.

And it was nice of De Gea to gift him that second goal in exchange for returning to United. 
whoa spain takes the lead!
Well that was a no doubter
that last goal by ronaldo was pretty f'n awesome
Seriously Messi
they literally gave you the ball
Kane saves England from embarrassment in overage time

Big name teams have really been showing poorly
Argentina, Germany and Brazil…yikes you guys are supposed to dominate the weaker teams
Well….teams cancel each other out and goals are rarer than hen’s teeth


Anyways Argentina’s team is the worst since 1970 the last time they did not qualify…

CONMEBOL teams are taking a beating
Uruguay is only winner out of 5 entrants  in the first round
Yup I noticed….even Concacaf blows…basically Latin American teams are taking a beating
Russia first team to qualify for knockout phase …

Maybe now people will finally stop selling Russia short.  They have been by far the best team against Arab competition in the tournament.

because so far they haven't faced a real threat?  KSA is KSA, and egypt has been forgettable ever since they qualified.  russia took care of two teams that they should have been able to take care of.  no surprises here.

not sure what you're getting at here… other than intra-arab competition (iran-morocco), the only other team to face an arab competitor has been england (who, like every other recent WC, have come in way overhyped).
I think it was sarcasm

Shame about morroco and that self inflicted loss to Iran
as they are playing well against Portugal

Although they really can't seem to capitalize on all the corners and penalty kicks

That was one serious dive by ronaldo in the 83 min, glad he didn't get a goal out of that

Stop day drinking.  It ruins your sarcasm meter….

Iran is not an Arab nation.  They're Persian…

come meet my workmates, then see if you'd stick with that prescription…
So Chrome offered me the option to translate my Telemundo feed
I'm amazed how well it does, especaily in the Flash frame?
