I feel like Vlad made a call to make sure there wasn’t a PK given on that controversial play. 

Ha. It did look like both sides were holding a bit, but def looked like a penalty.

I’m not sure how I feel about replay for a penalty but I get it. If you’re gonna use it for a hand ball you have to use it for other stuff. Def like the review for a goal going over line though.

Holy cow, what a great foul in the Croatia/ Den game. Stopped him from scoring a wide open goal and missed the PK to basically win.  (Goalie def came off his line prematurely but they never seem to call that)

To pks we go

Yeah, that was a great play by that defender. Surprised he wasn’t given a red.

Brazil up 1-0. Hang on for 30 minutes and send Mexico packing.

The worst acting job seen in ages from Neymar. Card his ass.

He's becoming my most disliked player. 

Incredible talent, but I can't get past the acting and diving.

Yeah I don't want Mexico to win (they aren't), but Brazil is not a very likable team and it is because of Neymar.

Adios Mexico

Brazil 2-0.

Now hoping Belgium takes care of Japan. I think Belgium has something for Brazil.

Agree with you guys on Neymar. He’s the fucking worst with the over-simulation. I root against teams like that. Found myself rooting against Uruguay the other day because they do that shit too.

Suarez is also a bitch.

Just like the NBA, if it's a foul, sell the shit out of it, I don't care. But phantom diving and minimal contact results in the player acting like he just got shot is absurd. VAR is helping, but I want more. Card them after the fact. That will stop it with the quickness.

5 goals in the 2nd half. Japan goes up 2-0 quickly. Then Belgium ties it with two quick ones.

90+4, Belgium's keeper has it, runs up and rolls it out for a breakaway, ground cross and in. 94 min. Fucking crazy.

France looking very strong, aside from that ridiculous simulation from Mbappe.
