    If Kane plays the full 90 he could have the golden boot pretty much wrapped up at this rate.

    Panama paying zero attention to the ball, to busy trying to drag down England players. Serves them right, cheats.

    Looks likely to be a Germany versus Brazil 2nd round game. Maybe even France versus Argentina.

    Still a long way to go but the group winners could potentially face Brazil or Germany in the Fwd, Mexico or Switzerland for those who finish second. Of course this will all be academic after Panama give us a hiding tomorrow.

    I don't think I've ever seen such pervy camera people!

    Boom, 10th corner in the 95th minute to win me £40. Still fuming at the referee though, absolute garbage. As an aside, anyone would think FIFA have issued a directive allowing diving. Another blatant dive in the first half which the referee waved away but didn't give a card for.

    And there we go, Serbia probably now going home. A real shame for them, I've been well impressed with them.

    Absolutely incompetent refereeing again. If that's not a penalty then nothing is. It's not as if the box was full of players, the referee has no excuse for missing it. I hope that decision doesn't end up costing Serbia.

    Hopefully a Serbian defender will snap neymar nice and early next week. It doesn't seem possible to get sent off at this world cup, especially if you spend 90 minutes blatantly cheating.

    And that curling effort from Neymar sums up this world cup quite nicely. In on goal, just the keeper to beat and he puts it just wide. It would have been a belting finish had it gone in, but it didn't. Just concentrate on getting it on target, at least make the keeper work ffs.

    21 games in, only 37 scored from open play and Russia have got 8 of them. Wing play in particular has been dismal so far. So often someone gets themselves into a decent position to ping a ball in and they either check back, lose possession or put it in row Z.

    Refereeing at the World Cup

    Which means that it just continues because the players know there's nothing to lose by trying it on. I just can't get my head around it. It's cheating, pure and simple and needs eradicating from the game but officials do not seem interested.

    Refereeing at the World Cup

    Has anyone been booked for diving yet in this tournament? There's been some shocking cheating going on and I can't recall seeing anyone punished for it yet.

    It's almost as if the VAR bloke was out back having a smoke and had to be called back into the office to rewind the video. Even in a live league 2 game Sky are showing replays from all anglrs within seconds of the ball hitting the back of the net. Absolutely crazy.

    Why the hell did it take 2 minutes to make that decision?

    Will this snooze fest be settled by a penalty or an own goal I wonder?

    Have the Russians poisoned all the teams in their group? This is absolute rubbish, I've seen better pub league games.

    3 minute gap between the red card and the penalty being taken yet 1 minute of added time? How does that work then? I'd love to know how much of the 90 minutes a ball is actually in play.

    European teams doing well against the ROTW at the moment, won 9, drew 2 and lost 1. Only Germany letting the side down!
