R16 July 1 Russia v. Spain [R]

It is because they are not used to being penalized for it. Remember, that La Liga is not refereed by Dutch officials.

VAR has not been implemented in most European leagues, yet.

 

Weak yellow

 

Isco vs Russia

 

Let's see if Ramos can force another own goal here...

 

or break a shoulder

 

Seem like that Spain player still trying to protest with the referee during the half-time break about that handball.

Seriously dude, let it go. You are SPAIN, you more than capable of score a goal, so concentrate on score goals during your second half. If you fail to score one single goal against Russia in this match, then, I'm sorry, you deserve to lose.

 

corner for Dzyuba...lol

 

Dzyuba is everywhere...

 

Russia is parking the huge bus

 

Samedov should be used as super sub

 

Russia secret weapon Cherychev

 

Was that Isco who was in perfect position and decided instead to take a touch?

 

The ref is deaf...

 

Why take Dzyuba off?

 

That was not offside

 

Russia uses up all 3 subs...

 

Here we go. Iniesta in.

 

He hasn't played anything close to a full game yet. He came on late vs Saudi Arabia and departed all three games before 70 minutes. I'm thinking it must be fitness. The Russian coach must not think he can go 90+ minutes.

 

Asensio underwhelming today
Have a feeling he will score a screamer

 

Don't understand that move at all... Unless he's hurt

 

I agree that's a Dzubyas decision....

 

From a geopolitical point of view, I want Spain to send Russia packing. But from a soccer point of view, this game is making me get over Spain.
