    This was a match that Spain lost rather than Russia winning.

    Russia with all 11 players in their penalty area for 120 minutes. Zero shots on goal. A couple of clear PKs not called. Spain got Concacafed

    Yeah, who'd want skill when you can have 11 players in the penalty area for 90minutes?

    Saying that DeGea is complete garbage, well, that's a complete garbage of a comment.

    I don't believe this result.
    I think Russian Hackers colluded with FIFA elected officials.

    Exactly, Russian executes a gameplan that was the only gameplan that gave them a shot at winning...you can't fault them for that.

    Not enough fouls for a true CONCACAFing.

    Spain was all over them creating chance after chance and actually going forward. Some obvious PK non-calls to favor the home team. Russia got lucky time and time again. Absolutely undeserved.

    Russia didn't come to play. Thye barely crossed the halfway line. You want to criticize Spain for being boring? At least they were playing the game!

    Europeans warned you when they said it is hard to beat Russia in Russia in official games but people did not want to listen ^^

    Good. I'd like to see a team that's never played a final before get there. (except England, of course)

    Well out of those, I root for Croatia. (Not Croatia's fan, it just out of that batch Croatia is the strongest).

    And this is like the MOST unpredictable WC ever.

    Spain were not good enough all tourney long.

    I truly do hope that Denmark or Croatia smoke Russia. They are a terrible QF team. Terrible.
