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.

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.

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?

Customer service questionnaires after having made a call to Barclaycard. On a scale of 0 to 10 how happy were you with the service we provide? Press keypad now. 0. Sorry, we did not recognise your answer. Half a dozen failed attempts to register 0 later and I hang up.

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!

The one time they forgot to wrestle Kane to the ground...

I thought the initial header may have crossed the line, if not it was very very close.

The BBC had a really good documentary on Monday night regarding this. I hadn't realised at the time the leader of the local council got up and walked out of the first meeting afterwards as the press were in attendance. Piece of shit.

Hopefully we can put in a 90 minute performance instead of the usual insomnia curing second halves we usually produce in friendlies.

Ogogo would be a wow signing but as someone else has said above Charlton is rumoured to be his next destination. Brown is a decent enough player, a bit of pace and as an ex winger he's capable of better crossing than your usual left backs.

Monaco is just a glorified piss up for the well off with an hour and a half procession to finish proceedings. It really needs binning from the race calendar but that'll never happen.
