Ramos has decided that the only thing he is useful for is injuring players.

That was always his first love.

Interesting fact regarding Gerard Pique: his grandfather was once the vice-President of Catalonia and shares his surname with Real Madrid's stadium.
 
I've been following Spain vs Morocco most, but from the few minutes I've watched of Iran vs Portugal ... it appears to be a pretty shit game.

Another interesting fact about Pique: He owns a film production company. The one which produced Griezmann's Decision documentary. Pique was the executive producer.

I think something similar happened to Scotland once too. Sad!

FIFA has decided not to punish the Swiss players who made the Albanian eagle gesture on Friday. Bizarrely one of them was Stephan Lichtsteiner who appears to have no connection to Albania or Kosovo whatsoever. Reflecting on this incident further, I have realized that this was quite a foolish thing to do. Firstly, while I think these guys are entitled to pay tribute to their ethnic homeland and highlight human rights abuses, to do so at a football match in front of a particularly volatile set of supporters was a potentially dangerous thing to do. Also, both Granit Xhaka and Stephan Lichtsteiner are Arsenal players - a club who will be in the UEFA Cup this season. It's not inconceivable that Arsenal could draw Red Star or Partizan Belgrade at some point in the competition, or even a Bosnian team from the majority Serb region, so Arsenal may have to err on the side of caution and leave their two Swiss players at home which could potentially affect the team's result. The same goes for Xerdan Shaqiri who has been linked to Liverpool recently (which would make Night Prowler hate him more!) and may have to travel to the Balkans for European fixtures. I'm surprised these guys haven't at least been given a slap on the wrist and I suspect the lack of punishment will inflame the Serbian FA's victim feelings further.

All I'm gonna say is: WITCH HUNT, RIGGED, SAD!

I didn't expect them to get punished, whenever there's a controversy involving us we're always gonna get the bigger punishment. After the drone incident, I'm not surprised. It doesn't matter, we're gonna beat Neymarzil and go to the next round. Fraud ref hurt us more than that stupid provocational celebration.

And Arsenal played against Red Star last year, but Xhaka wasn't called up because Wenger was playing reserves in the group stage.

The ref will probably be out to get Serbia against Brazil too.

Hey, I remember this, Bulgaria played there. Knocked out by, eh, hmm.
 
Poor use of VAR there .. play has already started again. The ref should make up his mind quickly as to whether to review it or not.

Btw, I think it shouldn't be a penalty, Ronaldo is already going down before contact is made.

Anyway, saved!
