Spanish telly just replay the goals, show any interviews and then go for a wee round-up of any other World Cup news ( currently Messi) and have a wee funnies section.

UK World Cup telly really is absolutely honking in comparison - who gives a flying f'ck what Alan Shearer thinks ... the BBC made a big song and dance about their presenters and coverage completely ignorant of the fact that it's want

Don't leave us hanging like that...

10 mins added time in the #KORGER game?  Ref obviously picked up the "If you're reffing Celtic or Rangers, and they're losing" rulebook addendum.

6 minutes was given originally, and there were 2 goals including a VAR review during stoppage time.

Could possibly argue that the original 6 was too long, but the additional 4 after that were justified.

This has been a brilliant World Cup so far. This group ending almost upside down, Argentina scraping it yesterday, Brazil tonight can't take it easy.

And the percentage of goals that have been scored after 85 mins seems enormous.

But to keep on subject

Germany were crap and Neuer is a nutter

The only drawback of Germany going out is that it opens the door for terrible WWII jokes from English commentators

Have they said that's the second time they haven't got further than Kazan yet?

P.S. Google tells me that most military production was shifted East to Kazan in WW2 to escape the Germans, so the unfunny joke needs worked on.

Well chuffed for South Korea. They've had a couple of close calls against ze Germans over the years, so you'd imagine they'll be having a good night regardless of the group table.

Wonder what odds you'd have got on Germany finishing bottom of that group. It's been coming, though, as they've had some thoroughly dodgy times since 2014.

France champions in 98, punted out group stage 2002

Italy champions 2006, emptied group stage 2010

Spain winners 2010, out in 2014 early doors

Now Germany. So not so unusual then in recent times. 

Crazy stuff :lol:

It also tempers the cyclic fads of calling for everyone to copy "the Dutch system", "the Spanish system", "the German system" or tactics or whatever.

No-one saying that after they've got pumped off Mexico and South Korea.

Caught it on Italian TV and the last ten minutes was impelling stuff especially Neuer as a striker. Had hoped Mexico would go through but what a day for Sweden

Mexico still go through if your Italian isn't up to scratch.
