Fantastic game, terrible result. I think this group will be close
Day 5: Switzerland vs Cameroon | Uruguay vs South Korea | Portugal vs Ghana | Brazil vs Serbia

Cancelo Will still start, he had a poor game but he’s too good
This is why these awards should be taken with a pinch a salt, like Messi's award as player of the tournament a few years back. There's a lot of narrative driving them.
I only watched the second half, it was a lot of fun!
Viva Portugal! All the Greeks are with you!

God please no.
I forgot how much of a dirty player he is. It's already bad enough having to watch your team of cheats without that cynical thug kicking everything that moves.
I can't believe he slipped
I have the perfect Scooby Doo edit for this but I'm on my phone and I can't be bothered right now.You got me
Fixed
It’s done, they didn’t like him he don’t like them, move on. Plus he don’t even play for United anymore which is what they also wanted everyone wins.
The comments made mid game were hilarious
Some Belgium followers said that was one of KDB's worst ever games for the national team tooon par with de Bruyne yesterday
Good comedy match in the end with the goals masking the sheer lack of quality or brains on display. Hope neither of teams make it out of the group. Enjoyed watching Kudus though.
Missed the first half, but that was an entertaining second half. Too bad Williams slipped at the end
Casemiro starting, but no Antony/Fred.
Gonna be a good game, Serbia is solid.

I was screaming at my TV when Ghana almost grabbed one there towards the end. Defo showing they’ve not come to mess around this tournament, not that I expected anything less.
Bruno MOTM so far
Those awards are all about marketing, like Messi winning best player in 2014.

Ronaldo is man of the match
Besides the ever excellent Laura Woods, ITV has been a shambles this World Cup.
Did Souness just say "Ronaldo is cuter than a bag of monkeys!"?
None of Guimaraes/Fred/Fabinho starting in favour of West Ham legend Lucas Paquetá.
Not for me, Clive.

We are so bad.
If we play like this vs Korea and Uruguay we will lose.
IF we do get though we will get rinsed in the next round
Brazil's midfield looks extremely light. I smell another upset!
Yeah no doubt. I root for African teams bar against Portugal but I don't think we will have any fairytale run this time
That's a bit rich coming from a Scottish guy.
How's Scotland world cup going?
I genuinely don't support the Scottish national team but nice try. A valiant attempt at whataboutery.
Also, are you seriously suggesting that Scotland players are anything like Portugal's when it comes to cheating? That's hilarious.
Portugal and the South American teams are the absolute worst for it.
What a game
Have all emotions in one game

Some of the man of the match decisions have been crazy. KDB got it last night and came out today and said "They only gave it to me cause of my name, I played bad"
2014 World Cup? 4 goals, 1 assist in 7 games. He had a very good World Cup and was very close to capping it off with an assist in the final save for Higuain losing his composure one-on-one. It wasn't entirely unwarranted, but I get your point regarding larger narratives.
KDB himself said he played badly and only got the reward due to his name
Dont quite get why the idiot did Ronaldos celebration at 3-1 down. Muppet.
I was talking about being thugs. Of course you don't root, it's an irrelevant football national team. Keep enjoying the bitterness
Wanted the ref to give a yellow.
