What's with the woman on the panel, has pc really gone that mad that they "need" a woman on there, who is she anyway ?

Plenty of empty seats for the Portugal v Spain match as well. One of the best group matches and they can't even fill the stadium for it.

I wonder how much of this is because it’s in Russia, not just the country itself but the well documented hooligan issue potential.
 
Anyone else think that was a foul on Pepe? I know he went down like he'd been shot but Costa jumped into him and was nowhere near the ball.

EDIT - And the commentator said that there was contact but he went down too easily. This will be the same commentators saying that a forward going down for a penalty was entitled to as there was contact.

Wow, Costa, oh how we miss that, I know so many didn’t/don’t like him, but that’s just class.

Ronald with some deft touches also, I’ve seen more football in 25 minutes than in the whole of all the other games put together.

No, it’s a contact sport, no intent, the arm doesn’t even land with any pressure or near where he holds his head. He pussies out of the tackle and gets what he deserves, the loss of a goal for being a whimp.

It is but that doesn't mean you can just jump into an opponent without trying to play the ball.

I thought he had his eye on the ball most if not all of the time, I didn’t and don’t see it as a foul, he wanted the ball more than Pepe who was only looking for a foul as an easy option, but came second.

What a finish though after holding up the ball so long.
 
Love him or loathe him, Sergio Ramos is an utterly quality centre back. Maybe a bit strong but once he retires I think he'll go down as one of the best ever. If he could just cut out the nastiness I don't think there would be any doubt.
