My word. Spain: 82% possession against Costa Rica. That has got to be one of the most one-sided games I think I've ever seen. At least Costa Rica could have shown some aggression, but they were so passive, almost expecting a battering.

The officials have given them almost nothing, including somehow not awarding a stonewall penalty even after a VAR review. >:(

Canada deserved at least a draw there. Yes, they didn't help themselves with some very frustrating overhit set pieces and wayward finishing, but they often took the game to Belgium with some attractive football and major decisions which looked blatantly wrong went against them.

No way was that a penalty for Portugal. Ronaldo diving is better than Tom Daley, what a to$$er. And why didn't VAR step in - football really needs to sort this out, it's a joke.

I think Queiroz is right here. Very unfair for the BBC journalist to ask the Iranian player such a politically charged question that could have endangered the player and his family.

Surely it breaks the BBC charter that is bring so heavily advertised at the moment...

It was brilliant. Strange that he rarely shows that kind of  ability when playing in the Premier league.

98th and 101st minute goals. Tough on Wales. It's looking like a bit of a damp squib for them after the 64 year wait.  Not that they weren't already, but they will now be even more desperate to put on a good show against England.

Wales were pretty shit tbh - did they even have a shot on goal? Iran always had the edge and were deserving winners.

Now to watch Qatar go out.

I believe there's an improbable chain of circumstances that would see Wales go through to the knockout stages; obviously it includes beating England in their last group game.
