The ball had gone by the time he felt his back leg touched, so inevitably he dived in desperation, shame the ref saw that as "clear and obvious" as it was anything but.

Ryan was literally nowhere. Griezman was still in control, that's why the ref gave it. Poor goalkeeping, if you ask me, he should have been moving out, making himself bigger and eventually grabbing the ball. 

I hate VAR, it takes all the excitement out of scoring a goal, while you wait to find out if it's actually going to be allowed or not.

Argentina can't defend. It doesn't matter how much firepower they have, defensively they are laughable, it's held them back for years.

Is it just me or has no so called "favourite" stamped their authority in these first games? 

Spain drew against a one man team.

France were poor today and staggered over the line (literally and figuratively) vs Australia

Argentina struggling to break down Iceland 

I think on Monday England need to really prove a point vs Tunisia.

What are you talking about? He's one of the most successful footballers of all time.

Peru win the national anthem singing hands down.

this has to be the best image from the World Cup so far

Actually it is very impressive.  He jumps much higher than players to either side of him, and he looks right at the ball instead of closing his eyes or turning his head to the side like most players do in a wall.  And he covering his nimnuts with his hands like he is supposed to, unlike the players in either side of him.

Lets go Mikel and Moses !

Nigeria were poor though looked more dangerous when Iheanacho came on.

I feel the same, although Brazil or Germany tomorrow will set the bar high, as usual.

If they don’t impress, then hopefully we’ll smash Tunisia and everyone will be fearing us 

You just know we will end up drawing 1 - 1.

If his form for Arsenal this season is anything to go by the could be waiting until the end of the world cup

And then I'm reminded of Little Pea's existence, and my passion disappears...

Germany were really poor. Hopefully now our fans will stop banging on about Draxler, a player who is never going to improve us.

Mexico are always surprisingly good at world cups.

No team has really stood out so far, they've all got their weaknesses. I feel it's going to be Brazil's to lose.

I would pick Rudiger over all of those other German defenders, he would have coped a lot better with Mexico's counter attacks.

Thought Germany were unlucky not to get an equaliser in the 2nd and Mexico with better finishing could have been three up!

Should of had Sane in the squad for game's like this.

I'm so happy after this game...also when are we getting Chucky Lozano?
