    What an absolutely filthy goal by Brazil's Richarlison to wrap up this match. Goal of the tournament so far

    Brazil don't need Neymar to win the WC. They have a loaded attack.

    I'm afraid it get ugly for the US tomorrow versus England. They looked great vs. Iran. I hope I'm wrong.

    Nah. I don’t really like Neymar but I don’t have too much faith in Richarlison or Raphina. The two are not very bright.

    They need Neymar as an attacking midfielder.

    This World cup doesn’t really have any clear cut favorites.

    There are a few teams that are better than the pack but none of them are heavy favorites.

    The midfield play in this tournament has been so poor so far.

    I wouldn’t mind the winner in this one being a team that has never won it and never will again in the future.

    Surprised they don't just get the MRI over so they know what they don't yet know. But I do think if they lose Neymar, the drop off is substantial. They will obviously still be very good, but at an elite level and at critical moments, this will make a difference. I never liked the phantom overacting he does, but in this day and age he can't do that anymore anyway and get away with it, so I've let it go.

    Thought Ronaldo telegraphed his penalty a bit, and he didn't find a sweet location, but so much power, and going upper shelf, it's unstoppable. Just so much power.

    Dam I love the world cup so much. No feeling like it when u see an underdog crush the hopes and dreams of millions.

    US could still make it in, just have to win one game vs iran.

    Host nation in the box, pretty clear penalty. Not even willing to review it.

    Don’t think for a second that Qatar’s banning of alcohol which has created lawsuits for FIFA may not play a factor here. Loss of revenue is kind of a big deal.

    I mean that’s the only reason I can think of that the penalty wasn’t called let alone reviewed.

    Zimmerman vs McGuire.

    Clash of two of the best at their craft.

    Going to be epic.

    Gakpo is now Linked to Man U.
    That was a bad game. No offensive creativity. We might win 2 more games. But we will not make the finals.
