Knockout stage - Round of 32 Games

Awesome game this morning with Brazil just popping Japan. It felt like a quarter or semifinal. Japan were outstanding in the first half but were over run in the second. Brazil were far from convincing, particularly their DMs. They will need to get tighter in the middle or better team will flow through them

Big guns just scraping through, not that I'd expect a smashing in this round, I even expect DRC will give England some issues.

No way should that goal be struck off. Keepers are overly protected.

I don't know how I feel about that disallowed goal. But I don't wanna agree with the commentators. Then again I am a neutral watching this game so

Commentator: "There's no reason for the keeper to fall to the ground". Mate, there's every reason if the player has pushed you over. Correct decision imo, even though I hate VAR.

It looked a little soft, but any player seen to be knocking the keeper to the ground is going to be penalised.

There you go! Paraguay now likely to face France.

Would've never expected Paraguay to make it to the round of 16 after their first match against USA

Wow that was intense. Well done Paraguay, they defended fantastically well. Germany were a bit disappointing frankly.

Terrible pens from the Germans. Almost perfect from the Paraguayan. Pretty big upset this one!

If you are listening to the same feed as me it's ex USA, Liverpool, Blackburn, Villa and Spurs keeper Brad Friedel.

And yeah his montone voice sort of grates.

If that disallowed German goal is considered a foul then Arsenal would've been relegated this year!!! 🤣

I think it's a foul but not by anyone's standard over the last few years.

While it was a soft foul, all teams where warned before the World Cup that the referees and VAR was going to crack down on grappling ahead of free-kicks and corners.

The fact that the German player wasn't even going for the ball and went forward into and kind of wrapped up the keeper, he put himself in that situation for it to be called and the Paraguay keeper sold it.

Those were the worst penalty shootouts I've ever seen. Germany vs Paraguay was bad enough, but then here comes the Netherlands and Morocco each trying to hand the other the win.
