    Daniele Orsato is the ref for the Argentina-Croatia game. He has been good in the games I've seen him officiate. Reading some of the stories about the behaviour of the Argentinean players towards the Dutch after the penalty shootout I hope Croatia wins. The Argies need to win in normal time otherwise their fate is sealed.

    Don’t think that was a penalty. No wonder people get turned off soccer.

    The one Kane slotted into the net? That's a clear cut example of what a penalty should be: Defender misses the ball and takes out the attacked inside the box.

    You need to have followed the Argentina vs Holland match comments. This was a firmly tongue in cheek comment

    @Bones the ref didn't seem to know what was going on, but he didn't change the result.

    The truly awful reffing performance was that clown who nominally took charge of the Argie Dutchie game. He was fucking awful

    @dogmeat England match? Absolutely bizarre to blame the ref when England got given every chance to win as well as kicking a goal Wilkinson would have been proud of.

    I was just amused how far out of reality Neville is. It definitely helps paint a picture in other areas....

    Does anyone else think it's ironic that Harry Kane saved English fans from the pain of exiting the WC in a penalty shootout by missing a penalty??

    @Crucial One of those sport is cruel moments - felt genuinely sorry for the guy.

    Sums up English football beautifully, I doubt there's a better team in the world at not taking their opportunities than their national team.

    Rubbed off on their Women's Rugby Team as well.

    Still amazes me that we lost to them in that CWC final. Very un-English.

    That ricochet that went for a boundary, and the umpire error to give them an extra run will haunt Guptill and cricket fans for a long time

    It was like they'd saved up 60 years of luck to use in that one game all at once 😞

    Mateu Lahoz has been sent home from Qatar according to the Spanish media.

    15 yellow cards must be a record for one game.

    @Bones Neville is a muppet. Best to ignore most ex-players.

    Where on earth did you pull that one from ....

    He's got a lot to say and get some good gigs, but I think you'll find most people would put a lot of people ahead of him. Souness, Keane to name a couple.

    I'd be tempted to throw Poogash in that list even.

    I have no idea who that is .... but I'd certainly put Neville in with Carragher as the worst. They aren't necessarily bad pundits, but their views are blinded by their club allegiances.

    Micah Richards, Alex Scott are both better than those two as well.

    Keane is my favourite though. A true curmudgeon, just like me.
