Now this is more like a World Cup Finalist. CRO have arrived it seems.

I was just going to write how Croatia were a bit comical in their attacks, slipping and fumbling in front of the penalty area, and bam they scored.

LOL what is Croatia doing. That hop plunge from Livakovic

Of course Costa Rica will ruin a perfectly good plan for today.

88 k attendance for Argentina - Mexico, which is the highest attendance for a WC match since the final in 1994

Can't say for the rest, but the goal actually ruined the life of the Bulgarian assistant referee. People stopped talking to him then, the BG Football Union allegedly asked him to pay to continue refereeing. At his funeral in 2017 only a small group of people went and there was no actual acknowledgement by the football union, even though he was an actual player before that. He was forgotten by everyone after that match. He has also said, that he saw the hand in real time, but the rules at that time were, that the assistants can't signal or communicate with the head referee unless directly asked by him.

A 52 sec GS, but who is complaining after the season so far. Just glad there is an actual race.

Poland stay in the game and things are getting very interesting in this group.

US should have won 2 matches, but are with none. They have one upped Canada for the "most unlucky" prize. Let's see, if Canada can equal the score again in their next match.

I'm still pissed he didn't get the Ballon D'Or in 2010. Probably from then this "prize" started becoming less and less significant.

Remember before the WC when it was made a big deal, that there will be female referees, just to have them all as 4th officials and barely noticeable

Have England's odds for a title plummeted already Nations League England in full effect in this match, only thing missing is the USA scoring ability.

Half time at the game, so i switched to Eurosport, because i remember, that alpine should be happening now. But surprise, surprise, there is no alpine event going on

America have been playing better in this first half. Watch them now fumble something in the second and lose, just like they should have beaten Wales..

Now that was a brilliant goal Our commentator went completely bananas, praising everything Brazilian from the Amazon, to the beaches, to the carnival, but especially the football.

Now that they are losing, Serbia have decided that they would start attacking in typical Balkan fashion

I expected a lot more from Serbia. They can barely touch the ball in the second half...

Serbia's only 2 wins against Brazil are from the 1930s And another wasted chance from BR.

Discovery have done a lot of stupid things, so it wouldn't have been surprising for me. Thankfully we have dodged the gunslinger this time, but the article didn't specify how long is the "multi-year deal"

Yup, 6 automatically and 1 through the playoffs, but we know how that would end.

It's actually 4 this time. But they would compensate next time, when it will be 7 out of 10.

Yeah, that's not happening soon I would say almost all big teams have fans here. And usually people say, that beside their favorite team, they would support the underdogs (usually African or smaller South American teams). But there are special cases like Serbia and Croatia (Poland a slightly third), which everyone would want to do good, as they are the closest to our culture and views.

Of course we do, this is not Macedonia. Everyone here is for Serbia, because they are "brothers". Plus they have a cool team this time.

Do you want to sleep on the couch?

The oracle in the TV studio said the result will be 2:1 Serbia, so people go and bet for an easy profit
