The families of the Russian footballers' being held at gunpoint are breathing slightly easier right now.

Original joke!

I suspect the Russian footballers are in for some sort of bonus given how low they were ranked. They definitely made the most of their team which cannot be said for many others that have been knocked out or didn't even make it. No Russia v England makes me sad, the chance was there for maximised awkwardness.

 

In terms of 'rewards' I'd be a lot more worried about the Saudi team ending up on a trip to Sana'a or Hodeidah after their performance.

 

(The Russian coach would make a great dictator though, he looks like a cross between Belarus's Lukashenko and Yemen's Ali Saleh and was not exactly the most verbose interview in the world)

Very pleased by those results. Hoping for Belgium v. England at this point, although a rematch of the 100 years war would be fun as well. Then I've been rooting for Croatia as the underdog since there solid group performance so I'd be happy to see them make it as well. Just as long as the French don't win.

I wonder if the Dutch would ever survive the Belgians winning the WC :lol:

Good game so far, Pavard really should have crossed rather than shoot

2 clear fouls on France in dangerous position not called in the last 5 minutes.  Does a Frenchman have to pull out a gun and shoot Hazard for a foul to be called?

Also missed yellows on some Belgians for tactical fouls. Usual WC stuff.

 

France is inviting too much pressure
