Corvinus85 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Thank you, Spain, for bringing down the entertainment level. I had too much fun, yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJ Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Russia must share a portion of the game. For 85 minutes, they applied zero defensive pressure outside their own back third. In the last 5 minutes they applied a bit of pressure, won the ball and created their only opportunity of the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacuna Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The entire Spanish team are into edging, it would seem. I mean, Vamos España! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Clearly we must pay for having a good day of play yesterday, aside from the ref in the Portugal-Uruguay match, who was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The best thing about this match for me so far is listening to the color commentator just trash the Spanish side for being so ineffective, while the play-by-play guy is desperately trying to spin the play into something worthwhile.

Refs have to stomp this shit out. It favors poor defending over goals, and guess which is more fun for the average/neutral viewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Well that was tedious. Spain got screwed a little bit with the non penalty on the VAR review but really they didn’t do a lot to deserve a win. Russia were playing for penalties from the start so it worked out for them I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That was funny. Well both group A teams advance, the B teams go home. No more Spain, Portugal, and Argentina. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik of Hazelfield Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Wow. Another contender for the gold goes home early. I actually think it was quite well deserved. The Russians did what they could and if Spain had dared to play more directly, more aggressively, they would have won this game. But the last hour was so painfully slow to watch that I eventually started rooting for the Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disturber of Peace Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 We did get that fun and rewarding part in the end. Now, look at all the teams on that side of the bracket. One of them will be in the final. Let that sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
