Korea are currently through on goals scored.

If Uruguary get another, they're through. It's tense to say the least.


Oh man, Ghana's going to keep pushing too so there will be opportunities.

Omg Ghana keeper with one of the best saves of the tournament, was judged offside anyway but what a save regardless.

Portugal manager seemed pissed.

Why does Portugal care that much, they've won the group regardless?

They don't want to be beat by an Asian team?

Noticed a lot of comments about the political gestures made by certain teams.

I have zero problems with the German national team making a simple gesture of protest in a country where women can't even buy a SIM card without their husband or a male relative being present.

I would also have zero problems with players making similar gestures of protest in the US for the horrific blunders of their foreign policy, lack of universal health care, or outlying realities in terms of reproductive rights, access to guns, etc.

I do think it's misguided to declare that people from one part of the globe are disqualified from making public criticism of a specific set of issues in another part of the globe, simply on the basis of another set of (often unrelated) criticizable issues.

An often forgotten aspect of an overused word - hypocrisy - is that being a hypocrite doesn't mean you're wrong about whatever point you're trying to make. It just means you're a hypocrite.

If Uruguay scores that blocked shot was massive.

The fact he almost scored there doesn't mean that wasn't a terrible decision. Teammates streaming upfield all around him ... hmmm, let me pop one off from 20 yards

So I suppose those Portuguese fans who were clamouring for Vitinha to be playing over William Carvalho or Rúben Neves are probably happy?

LOL these 3rd games with group leaders resting or playing at half pace caused plenty of chaos. Uruguay on its way out because of Portugal playing at half pace with the 2nd platoon.

Ghana starting to coast a bit. Not much tracking back.
