SPAIN IS OUT on penalty kicks - after VAR declined to award a fairly obvious penalty late in overtime!

If they made that reversal, I was wondering if they'd leave the camera on in the little VAR studio as it got rushed by thugs.


Good luck to your side in the nightcap, tomcat.


Well, if you can't out-penalty the opponents, when your goalies stops 2 shots, you do not deserve to win.  And we didn't.


idle question: do you think they’ve rigged the VAR somehow?


This is Russia.  How can you even think that they might rig something?


I'm sorry, I'll hang my head in shame. I forgot my manners. 

May I temporarily digress from soccer to ask if anyone has caught up with international basketball?

I normally don't pay attention, but wow. 


Little known fact. The V in var stands for Vladimir.

 For a second, I thought you were serious.  


I love you three! oh oh


Colombia - a well fought match, another penalties loss.   The Brits earned it.


England v Colombia also a nail biter

Delighted that my home country, England has broken the curse of going out on penalties and after a tense game, going into 30 minutes extra time and still a 1 - 1 result, England win 4-3 on penalties! 

They will now play against Sweden in the quarterfinals on Saturday oh oh


Thank you, Alex! I was late in hitting the “send” button on my PP, too many distractions from the folks celebrating back home! oh oh


Gotta love this video of Neymar's diving and rolling skills.....
