    Ronaldo is still an ace.

    Schoolboy error from Spain's kitman washing the whites with the darks.

    Not as much of a schoolboy error as that!

    Quick Jurgen get on the blower and see if Jose will do a straight swap - De Gea for Karius or Minger.

    I am currently enjoying the post match silence of the Moroccan game, no cars driving around all evening with celebrating Moroccans blowing their frigging horns.

    Morocco were really good but rather naive in the extra time.

    Oooh, what a strike! 2-3!

    Just got a tenner on Diego Costa top scorer at 5-1. Given the dross in the group and him already being on a brace that seems quite generous.

    Hello! Iago Aspas on! Portugal in real trouble now.

    Ronaldo is on fire, amazing shot. his 51st hattrick and the WC's 51st Hattrick.

    He really focused for that shot. Quite superb.

    The guy is immense. @Jobo currently going through the stats to sully his impact.

    No doubt Jobo will point to the penalty being dubious and De Gea’s mistake. Have to say I probably agree with him on this occasion.

    But slotting great finishes when your team is in the shit like the third is what truly great players do. Over to you Lionel.

    You take what you’re given, though, right? Doesn’t even flinch.

    Ronaldo continues to maintain a ridiculously high level, best player in the modern era.

    Edited: watched some of the game again, BBC are cringeworthy in there adoration of Spain.

    France vs Australia.
    Nice to see the Aussies holding the French so far. I'm optimistic, but a draw would be a great result.

    Not at all. But this is their strongest eleven too, isn't it?

    Much as no one wants to see Australia winning anything another 45 mins of that would be most amusing.

    Wonder if they actually manage to lose would the Frogs consider sacking Deschamps and parachuting ZZ in?

    Indeed they have. Haven't seen much of Griezmann, Pogba or Mbappé yet. Think they'll need those players to step up in the second half, if they want a result.

    France lose this it will be a national crisis, I could easily see ZZ step in nothing surprises in football now.

    They need to bring on another more offensive midfielder.
