Conflicted feelings about the first game, but in the end glad Russia won. Brings an element of surprise and Spain didn’t earn the win. Their endless pointless backwards and sideways passing killed the 1st half. Almost fell asleep. At least the Russian penalty (well called imo) made the second half interesting. But their defense was solid and Akinfeev was spectacular. Much as i dislike the politics of it all (no way they should’ve been awarded the Cup after Sochi and the subsequent invasion of Ukraine) the team has done very well. At this point it’s all about the game anyway.

And that was definitely a red card - very surprising it wasn’t called. But that was kind of meaningless. Luka should’ve put it away - glad he at least nailed his in the shootout. They should take care of Russia, but their style will give Croatia problems. Should be interesting.

Was rooting for Messi and Argentina, but that was a very entertaining game! Not a fan of Suarez but at least Ronaldo is gone ;) Neimar - next!
