    I like so much more FIFA management than the full-business model of US sports we would have instead.

    At least we have the best players of every countries playing the World Cup. They aren't prevented to play like NBA or NHL do.

    Russia really need it. As much as Alba looks tired, most of the Russia team looks like they are struggling.

    Does Hierro not see Alba out there? He's not running, struggling with defending, and making bad passes.

    Or is the drop off that bad?

    Spain should take more long shots. That's the only way to score against such a packed defence.

    So Russia making what is the first ever 4th substitution in World Cup history....

    probably the most historic Russian sub since the Cuban missile crisis....

    Spain may have tedious passing, but the last thing we need is another bus parking team in the quarterfinals. It isn't like Russia is setting the world on fire here.

    Agreed, but without the goal, the trickery does little other than please the eyes.

    now they're falling over each other.

    Right idea with the shot. Shooting from outside by Asensio. The should have been doing this since the 30th minute. Make Russia venture outside their own penalty area.
