Belgium v Japan...best match of the cup so far! Incredible second half.
Great to see a match where neither team lost because of some bone-head error or bad call. Just great play from end to end on both sides (and superb refereeing to boot). Much respect to Japan. They played their tails off.Belgium v Japan...best match of the cup so far! Incredible second half.

Anyone else really impressed with Tony Meola's color commentary? He's the first American-accented color commentator that I actually like. His voice and reactions to plays remind me of Troy Aikman's NFL work. It makes for a unique experience hearing someone who sounds so "American" get all the subtle tactical and technical points right on the money without the buffoonery most former American players bring to the booth.
+1. I actually like way tony & aly see/describe the game.Anyone else really impressed with Tony Meola's color commentary?
Last World Cup- Neymar becomes a household name.I wish just one referee had the balls to show Neymar a Yellow card for faking an injury (flopping). IMHO, he is a disgrace to the game.
Neymar's reputation for faking/exaggerating injuries must be so strong that you can do anything to him, even with VAR watching.

After this year, if I see someone wearing a Neymar jersey, I will think less of them.

The ankle step on might have been accidental hard to tell but yeah hurts and a foul regardless
Would Nike drop him for his antics?
That would send a message more than any caution or fine.
But I’m sure adidas or puma would pick him up right away.
