What a game for Cristiano Ronaldo. The free kick from outside the box to tie it up was very pretty. That was likely the game of the group stage. Really exciting, high level play.
The contrast between that one and Morocco-Iran was, well, not small.
Holy cow, Spain can still play, though. This game should be 4-1 right now.
Maybe if there's one team for whom the identity of the head coach doesn't matter, it's Spain. They're not doing anything different now, tactically, than they were doing a decade ago.
Gonna be tough for anyone to top that goal Nacho just scored, although Cavani danged near had its equal (and mirror image) earlier today.

De Gea had a disappointing day. That second goal he should have had. I realize it was a hard, low & tough shot, but he's a world-class keeper.
First off, an amazing performance by both sides. But also, I think that goal may have been important to Portugal. Even had they lost, I think Spain goes through. Portugal I'm not so sure, as I could see them get stuck and draw Morocco or Iran, and so a loss would be a problem for them and have to worry about goal differential.
Argentina-Iceland very entertaining from the start . . . .
Even more than I hate Argentina
So happy the Arggies tied.
I must admit CR7 is the greatest player in the world.

Understood.
Last time I was in Dublin, someone referred to Northern Ireland as “the unfinished business of 1916.”

That game had nothing to do with it. It just reinforced the conclusion.
CR7 is insanely talented and what he’s done at Madrid blows anything Messi has done at Barca.
Also, Portugal is not a good team. It’s basically him and 10 scrubs. Essentially, the Cavs of the World Cup.
