Personally reckon that header was sneaking in the corner.

Yeah I agree. Should mirror rugby really, yellow card gets you 10 minutes in the bin, review the list of yellow card offences (get anything to do with celebrating to ****), denying a goal scoring opportunity becomes a yellow (unless it's really cynical like deliberate handball or just obviously fouling without trying to win the ball - allow refs to use technology so they don't have to make a split second yellow v red call if they're not sure) and also go with the rugby 'rule' where if a team is constantly fouling then you can invoke the 'next one to foul gets binned' principle.

Commentators over doing the Bale genius a bit.

Amazing what a quality cross does. Take note England when you're up against Iceland.
The keeper is not at fault for the goal, but he should at least be diving in anticipation of that ball being put towards the net. If the defender doesn't get it the attacker does.

What a pile of crap that was. Seems apt an own goal settled that.
Worst game of the tournament?

Terrible day so far. It just needs Portugal to win on penalties with the world's biggest nob scoring the winner to top it off.

Game was ruined by the ref's refusal to book every Portugal player for cynical first half fouls. Same ref from the everybody-foul-James-Rodriguez game apparently, so no surprises there. At least he balanced it out by allowing one free booting of Nani in the box.

What a crap day of football.
The Poland-Switzerland game was average at best but was comfortably the best game of the day and the games got worse as the day went on. Hope tomorrow is better.

There is nothing worse than sitting through two hours of dross and that happening

I think Ronaldo looked a bit perplexed that everyone ran to the goal scorer instead of him.
