It's like Notre Dame playing Alabama or Clemson, and then spotting them a fumble. That second goal was a fumble ... catch the ball. ETA: first goal was a gift, too, when the Russian defender misplayed the ball.

I think Belgium is better at every position.

Russia is not good.

And even that is an understatement. Their keeper should not answer any calls from Moscow.

the Russians’ “endurance” advantage in extra time against Croatia.

I’m also surprised that the commentator today made a joke about the Russian coach either having a long stay in Siberia or tea at the Kremlin. That seems like a crack one would make during a remote broadcast. At least that’s what I assume. Otherwise ABC/ESPN would be wise to fly in another announcer just in case of an unfortunate accident.
That’s Jon Champion

He’s almost as much of a treasure as Derek Rae. If something happens to him, it’s war.
