That's so good. The goals in this WC have been outrageous.

Aww that was actually adorable. Feel for Cavani though, he's been immense today. One of the few times I've seen him really step up in a big game.

So the 2 biggest players in football go out on the same day. Can Neymar complete the treble tomorrow?

Yeah, so often the games become cagey and boring once the knockout rounds start. Think we are helped by the fact there is a lack of quality defenders worldwide this time so sides have to go for it as they aren't capable of sitting on a 1-0 lead.
Daft as it is if Italy had qualified and done a normal Italian way of keeping it tight and sneaking a goal they may have had a good chance in the tournament.

Credit where its due, some top notch *********ry from him this Competition, with Pepe gone, can someone else top his *********ry? We shall see.
Enjoyed today's games, comfortable enough for France as expected while Uruguay got it done.
Cavani hopefully he is fit for the quarter final, France won't lose if he isn't.

Just hope he becomes a great and not like an Owen or a Rooney.
re Argentina, and this is likely my lack of any semblance of football knowledge speaking, why the **** wouldn't you start Aguero? I'm not sure about the wisdom of Messi being played as a sole striker when, in every part of the highlights I saw, it looked like he ended up dropping deep to try to manufacture something in the complete absence of an Argentinian midfield.
And surely when they've looked as ****** as they did all tournament, they can find something for Dybala to do other than mix the Gatorade.

Yeah, two wonderful games yesterday, and Mbappe such an exciting arrival, especially for people like me who haven't seen much of him at club level.
His run for the penalty was even better than his two goals. To take on half of the Argentina side from penalty area to the other penalty area was astonishing.
We all know there's a tendency to assume that tourneys were much better when we first watched the game, but if this can continue throughout the knock-out stages then we're watching one of the ATG world cups, no question.
