That strike by Pavard!! That was something.

I thought the ref had a pretty good game. Didn't put up with too much nonsense.

Now looking forward to Australia v Germany.

No reaction shots of Maradona since the opening minutes that I recall.

While there are few people, the sight of whom failing drunkenly over the railing and plunging to their deaths would give me a greater pleasure, I do wonder if he either collapsed again or if we was removed for his own protection.

Still, it's a shame to be deprived of seeing him weep.

I'm hoping to see Neymar, Ronaldo, Pepe or Ramos stretchered off next.

I don't like whingeing cheats. Feel free to add to the list.

But will watch later.

Very happy to see Argentina lose.

Being English...its part of the DNA when it comes to football.
