God I hate the way Suarez plays - no one touched your bloody head. Get up you wanker! C'mon CR7 and Portugal - you can do this!!!!!

A little OT, but look at what they have in the studio of commentators of nos.nl (where I watch WC):

Cavani!  I'm happy for them, congrats.  They played better than Portugal today...sorry to see CR & co go though.

Ahem, totally OT post:

You are forgetting the most important thing:

the dachshund is called Messi. For realsies, that’s his real name.

 

He’s actually very famous in the Netherlands. He has been keeping the guests in the studio of NPO/NOS 1 (Dutch public TV main channel which airs all soccer championships) company since 2014 (every two years, Europeans and Worlds) and so has become a very popular dachshund.

 

I, and with me many other viewers, only watch the Studio soccer program because of the doxie (why yes, I am a dachshund fan, hard not to, it’s in my genes).

 

The dog has his own Facebook and instagram accounts, plus a fanrun Facebook page and a twitter.

 

funny thing; it’s the world’s best kept secret who Messi belongs to. Contrary to popular belief, he is not Hugo Borst’s dog. Various other names do the rounds, but... it’s probably a smart thing that his owner(s) keeps it quiet. ;-)

Very late post, but I only got to watch France-Argentina just recently, and all I can say is what a match!!!    Pavard's goal was a thing of beauty!  And what a way for Mbappe to make an entrance on the international scene!  Hopefully the next games will be just as exciting!
