Yep, you just got the feeling Ronaldo was making it. He unreal in club football, but the passion he puts in for his Country is unmatched.

Brother and I had biryani (which was excellent) and a beer while watching the match.
A superb match, agreed. Both teams gave their all.
I cannot abide the narcissistic git, but must concede that he was absolutely brilliant tonight.
No but I should be as Iceland are my second team in the Sweepstake! I watched the France v Australia game. Frances players were made of glass. Went down very easily.
It was huge for Iceland! What a game. Messi made some mistakes which isn’t him at all. Wonder how this plays on Argentina’s mind.
I can't see Argentina winning it. South American teams don't play se well far from home.
But I think they will bounce back.
Yeah I think they will bound back for sure. You think Brazil will have the same fate?
Missed both goals in the Iceland Argentina match due to sneezing. I've taken something for the allergies. Not amused with my nose at the moment.
Huge result for Iceland. Much as I want Messi to win one for once, it doesn’t look like this will be his year.
B
Yeah, I am going with Belgium. I want either Portugal, Spain, or Brazil, but I think Belgium might.
Not having seen Iceland play much before this morning, I was pleasantly surprised and happy they were giving Argentina a tough time. Much like AF, I do not foresee the South Americans progressing as much as previous years.
I would be pleased to see Argentina and Messi get to the final, but it's impossible not to root for Iceland. They are limited but give 150% and play to their strengths. Messi's penalty was poor but Iceland deserve huge credit for one of their greatest international performances of all time. As for Argentina, there is still plenty of time left for them to make their mark.
Yeah it’s really hard not to cheer for Iceland. Although it would be cool to see Argentina in the final, don’t really want it to fuel the Messi’s vs Ronaldo debate lol
I don’t know if anyone else is watching the Denmark v Peru game in America, but these announcers aren’t very good at all. Trying to make the argument that this game is just as good as the Spain V Portugal.
Well the thing about the WC is you can't watch every game if your significant other isn't a fan of football. Well not and stay married for 20 years this September!
Haha I am single, so I get to see almost all of them lol. I do understand though
Danes should count themselves as lucky with the inconsistent defense they had going. And thank the Peruvians for their blindingly bad shots.
Might skip Croatia and Nigeria as I can't imagine it being entertaining or passing as alright.

FS1? They have a habit of bringing on bad announcers every other game. Thankfully I've got international satellite so I've got BBC and ITV going for me. Got others in different languages, but I prefer English this early in the day (apart from the beers).
