Let's go.

That might not have been the headline, because it makes for fewer clicks, but it was definitely mentioned as well in the news items and articles.. But yeah, this whole thing sounds like an awful step for any kind of basic humanity..

Sure, democratically speaking it's awful, but at least it's fun to have these countries with those hot-headed politicians for some entertainment

Well he's really good at looking super angry, so try tell that in his face

Denzel Dumfries eats Messi for breakfast, then has Neymar as lunch and finishes it off with Mbappé for dinner. Burp.

Yeah especially this match there was often not really much to tell in between the goals, there was not really any tension in any moment

How was your commentator (and those in other countries)? The Dutch one was constantly talking about how the only thing that mattered now was if Cristiano Ronaldo would score, it was getting embarrassing

Curious how they're planning to prove that other than being pervs and catching people red...well, handed.

Not joking when I'm telling you to not wear anything that shows you are Portuguese, at least after the match Or just stay in your hotel or wherever you're staying

Rafael van der Vaart on Dutch TV talking about Pepe (they played together at Real Madrid): "Everyone hates him because he has kicked everything that moves, but really, and you won't believe it by just watching his matches, but once you get to know him you'll see he's the sweetest and kindest guy you can imagine."

Anky van Grunsven's golden horse Salinero has passed away, she has just announced.

Biathlon is biathlon

Wait, ESP - MAR started boring sure, but how did people stay bored? I was on the edge of my seat for the last hour or so before the penalties

Did he actually stop all of them? If so, he is still the only one, considering Sergio's penalty was definitely not a save by the goalkeeper

I remember one involving I believe Nigeria, at a World Uxx championships, where I believe half the teams went twice Somewhere around roughly 2010 or so I'd guess.

Hahaha, if you take penalties like Spain did, you truly deserve this What's with those idiotic players nowadays who don't run for a penalty, but take some half-ass steps and weakly move the ball towards the goal? Surely they don't want to score then?

For a 0-0 this is not a bad match at all

I assume it's impossible to watch it anywhere? Even not live is good of course...

Right, excellent idea. Damn, I didn't think I'd ever cheer for Spain this much

Just out of interest, what was their first World Cup match after winning the title? I forgot!

I think my dad is taking a few trains earlier to get back from work today, like so many other Dutch cities Amersfoort is also not exactly going to be the place to be later this afternoon..

I think USA had the biggest chance of all to be a 'surprise winner', but they blew it

It's just that none of them wants to play for the national team, judging by...you know, none of the 'good players' being in the national team, apparently.

Just noticed it now, but what's with this weird schedule where CRO - BRA is on Friday already, whereas the quarter finalists who played a day earlier get to play their QF a day later? Now in both semi's you'll have one team which had almost a week rest and another which had just four days...
