Iran v Spain, 19:00 BST, ITV.

[Mac76]

I see Spain are now trying to maim the Iranian goalie

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scuffer from Costa!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

My thoughts are that FIFA have made it such a point to encourage attacking play- everything is set up in the game to benefit attackers, it actually has the reverse affect.

There are very few great defenders around anymore because the defending is achieved by 10 behind the ball, not a back four.

Agree.

Though VAR has had a noticeable effect on the increased number of pelanties awarded.

[Master Splinter]

Vasquez is a bit shit.

He's Spain's Andros Townsend.

Without the screamers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isco sends it sky high.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

No idea why Koke was dropped for Vasquez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ansarifard hits the side netting!

Tyldesley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iran 0-1 Spain, Diego Costa!

Looked an OG but maybe not.

[Master Splinter]

No idea why Koke was dropped for Vasquez.

The idea to go for a more attacking player seems fine.

It's just that Vasquez is crap.

[SMatthews]

Spain ruin the World Cup.
