Ethel The Tree Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Blimey ... Iran 1-1 Portugal ... First up, I switched channels at half time Not because Iran were losing and I doubted they'd get back into it - not because there were goals in the other game either It was the 'commentary team' that did it for me. Why does the BBC think our viewing pleasure would be enhanced by watching the game in the company of a grumpy old sod with a chip on both shoulders? Mark Lawrenson (left) provides more expert match analysis Spain 2-2 Morocco ... So I caught up with this instead A good, open game with plenty of action and minimal histrionics Then Morocco went in front and although it wouldn't alter their chances of qualifying it was no less than they deserved And then ... 91st minute ... Spain equalize ... flag up, offside. Looked offside too Goes to VAR and if it was clearly onside they'd have cleared it up in seconds - except it took an age The goal was given and the whole mood changes - Morocco felt robbed and rightly so IMO Flick back to BBC1 where it's finished 1-1, thanks to a 93rd minute penalty - another VAR disaster by all accounts Including what looks like a clear red card offence against Ronaldo, not supported by video evidence The upshot being, VAR has had a direct bearing on the final group standings as well as fixtures for the next round For the neutral it might provide high drama and incident, but if you ask me there's a real danger of this competition being ruined by it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest addedtime Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The problem is the gamble you now take when there's two games to watch. I went for Iran Portugal last night. I think I need to drag the spare telly downstairs and go side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my turn to take the daughter and her mates to and from Guides. Maybe press pause at 7.25 when I leave.....avoid social media and all will be fine.

Ethel The Tree Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Australia 0-2 Peru ... Decent game this, with a more competitive edge in the first half Although the result wasn't really in doubt once the second goal went in It was end to end at times but in truth, neither side showed much quality in the final third France 0-0 Denmark ... First goalless draw of the tournament - 'nuff said 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Nigeria 1-2 Argentina ... and another cracking game to add to the collection Qualification depended on the result and the result was in the balance right until the end It was also decided in the best possible way - a smart finish as opposed to some technical opinion Bit tough on Nigeria, but they were rubbish against Croatia and probably didn't do enough tonight I also think Argentina will be a tougher proposition for the French to try and bore to death So not bad, all in all Iceland 1-2 Croatia ... There was a moment during the second half when both games were level I said: "I'll laugh if Argentina score, and then Iceland score and knock 'em out anyway." My dog was the only one around to hear me, but she opened one eye - she heard me alright 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Still in a quandary over which game to watch this afternoon Germany are going to beat S Korea, aren't they? Mexico will probably get the point they need to win the group (and avoid Brazil in the next round) That's assuming Brazil fancy winning their group - only to end up playing the Germans next Monday I suppose a couple of quick goals for Sweden might throw the cat amongst the pigeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
