Never understood the Oliver hate. Lots of other EPL refs are worse. Most Spurs fans hate Taylor. I'm not a big fan of Mike Dean, but it's whatever.

Cmon, obviously Ronaldo is the worst offensive player left in the tournament.....I can literally do a search on ranking refs in the EPL and every one of them will have him in the top 3-5. He's listed #1 on most that I just looked at. At Whoscored, looking at it objectively, he's #1.
The worst in the EPL? That's just nonsense. There is absolutely nothing objective about that statement. By what measure is he the worst? Can you find post anything that substantiates that? Any list or ranking or measure that remotely agrees with that?
It's such a weird take when the consensus, looking at every list/ranking has him as the best ref. I mean, minority opinions are cool and all, but at least give a reason for it.
Hot take: Messi is one of the worst offensive players left in the tournament. And I'll keep saying it!
I know what the rankings say. Its why he is at the WC. But every time I see a game with him as a ref, and not just United games, there is some controversy and both sides complaining about him. It's the eyeball test for me. I would rather one of the refs who's name I don't know ref a game.
And its also alittle shtick, hence the

Hell of a goal but what was the GK thinking

I haven't read ahead so apologies if someone mentioned it but here was my favorite quote from Landon so far this game:
"He shows the opening between the legs and then closes it."

I didn't think he had much of a choice. It was just a really nice goal. Love that Neymar roofed it, because you knew there would be defenders sliding in.

I can’t wait to listen to the Spanish replay...

Livakovic has made several saves by coming out aggressively and cutting down the angle, gambling that the attacker won't be able to get the ball under control quick enough to round him. Neymar had a lot of momentum, I don't think a lot of other players would have been able to round the keeper there.

Sound is off for me. Any subs left for either side?
Should open up nicely in this second ET. Don't think it will end 0-1.

Beautiful goal.
Lovren being completely uninvolved is also beautiful in it's own way.

Amazing Neymar was able to create the shot.I’m just reacting to the replay which isn’t fair on how it unfolded but he pulls his arm back like he was afraid of a foul

No idea why Brazil were so open to that counter, but Modric completely keyed it from the back.

Mandzukic probably want to sub himself in.

Felt like Brazil was just standing around when that counter started. And it was like 3 v 3 at the back. No excuse for that.

I have a feeling some of you may yell at me for this but I want Brazil to win - I love underdogs but I really want to see Argentina - Brazil. And Croatia's style just isn't super exciting to watch.

I'd love to be at the Croatian club here in town right now. I have a few family members there and a lot of guys I went to grade school with. It's gotta be nuts in there.

I don't expect the Brazilians to turtle this like Spain but all the pressure is on them. This is a free roll for Croatia.
