    Did you watch the game? What do you mean which dive? The one where he wasn't even touched and he flopped to the ground right in front of the ref

    Was that Anthony? I remember the play. I thought it was some other Brazilian. No simulation was called either.

    Argentina up over Holland, I'm not mad about it but on the other hand if they lose it'll further prove that Europe is the dominant continent of the sport. Might as well just have an euro every couple of years.

    How does Netherlands go into a QF with a game plan to only generate one shot attempt? In what world is this acceptable? I don't understand teams that get this far and then decide "nah, we don't need to shoot the ball"

    Also - I saw the Macedonia handball resurface. 100% a handball directly leading to a goal. it's ludacris no VAR was initiated. All that said, we deserved to miss the world cup. the handball was not the reason, technically the goal should have been disallowed, but our fate was already sealed for being a stupid, stupid team led by an idiotic a$$clown.

    Why are the officials allowing all the fighting and doing nothing ?

    Does VAR not watch these incidents ?

    Survival and it worked for Croatia. Holland were maybe a little more progressive.

    I blame Horjinho too. This is why you never want to let it go to refs or alternative fake refs in the sky, because then they can determine your fate. They even went to check VAR and decided no intention? Bullcrap. By not taking their chances, Italy let themselves get screwed. They were screwed on that decision. That's for sure.

    VAR intervenes when it's convenient and favorable.

    I can't stand Brazil's diving and play acting. Their calcio this WC was so badly overrated. It's as if people wanted them to be dominant and they never really were. Good riddance.

    Kudos to Croatia. After Brazil scored, I told my wife that Croatia was going to tie it up and win. She said "why?" I said "Because they have BIG BALLS." The Croatians have faced war, death, horrible conditions after the war, persecution, etc. They aren't afraid or intimidated. They also have quite a bit of skill at various positions including Modric who looks 28 again.

    I hope Croatia send Messi home crying the way they sent that diving Neymar back in tears.

    The most upsetting thing about this World Cup? The quality of play and the realization that Italy could have made a lot of noise in this WC.

    I was most disappointed to see Moderic resorting to a body check and stamp on his young Madrid teammate Rodrygo as the youngster was dangerously breaking through midfield .. the kid limped away from the cynical challenge as well .. what happened to his classy nice guy image ?

    They say Grant Wagl has been sick since Monday.

    Sounds kind of fishy to me though.

    Croatia is amazing. A country of under 4 million produces enough talent to make the last 2 World Cup Semifinals and several world class players.

    Get your crap together Italy!

    Neymar put up a huge stink at PSG when Cavani was taking penalties, to the point where he got him kicked off the team and wanted to take everyone...yesterday he hid like a baby and let a young kid and a defender take a penalty. You get what you deserve. At least Baggio died standing. ******** Neymar
