best game of the tournament on second day?

Still the best game by an order of magnitude. *

Instant classic.

The midfield quality on display was simply stunnig. Isco, Koke, Silva, Silva, Moutinho, Carvalho. And Iniesta of course. Just fabulous. Almost forgot Busquets. He's lost two steps but is still crafty as a motherfucker.

Ronaldo is Ronaldo. Probably still the best there is currently.

I’ll be happy to see both these teams beat the Group A reps

Fuck Group A

Uruguay does have the pedigree, talent and fight...

That round of 16 match will be just grueling.

I'd be fine with Spain not winning another game.

However, their quality indicates a deep run.

If it’s against russia? *

I'm actually pulling for Russia

They players aren't autocrats. I kinda like em

This is grass hockey, not hockey.

Russia ain't scaring nobody.

They still bribed their way into this tourney

And are meddling with America again

So fuck em

I don't care much.

They didn't tamper with elections. They may have fucked with social media, but I find that a good thing. Sure, fuck the Red Wings and their Russian Cups, and great work TJ Oshie. But I don't hate them right now in the WC.

I don’t think you addressed the bribery

Not to mention stealing Crimea from Ukraine and harboring US fugitives.

And killing political opponents

And fucking up the Olympics

Russia is the Michigan football of international sports...China is OSU

Yeah, forgot about the PEDs.

I just keep thinking about Sharapova in the sack on PEDs and am nearly willing to forgive.

Ronaldo living up to the hype. *
