Yeah, quite possibly the most accomplished group of players among their peers from their youth group to their pro leagues to their international careers, getting paid tons of money, and coming from a country notorious for having pride are going to throw a game for 1 million Euros each.

the money is just for their silence.  the price for non-compliance, well, that was demonstrated in Salisbury.  the message didn't need to be delivered.

plain and simple, spain chose not to attack for more than one hundred and five minutes of this match.  sure, quite possibly, the most accomplished group of players among their peers from their age group to the pro leagues to their internatioanl games are going to CHOOSE NOT TO ATTACK OR TRY TO SCORE for 90% of the minutes of a game in the FREAKING WORLD CUP.

it goes both ways.

Watched Pique handball two or three times in the penalty box in earlier matches, all with his hands out to his sides, instead of behind his back, so pretty happy it got called finally.  Generally didn't like the way Spain played.  Glad they're out.

Just stahp. Spain didn’t throw this game. They played the way they always do. Russia played compact and Spain couldn’t break them down.

I don't know the rules on that but went to the BBC website and they said it was 100% handball. There was another one a few days ago from another team.  Can't quite remember who.

And that’s about it. 

Croatia has looked great. They should be the favorite on that side if the bracket, whether Spain won or lost today. 

No love for the French midfield? Kante, Pogba, Matuidi is one hell of a midfield three.

Croatia's my dark horse. Granted, now they'll lost to Denmark in a few hours.

I wouldn't even have them as a dark horse. They have the best midfield left in the tournament. 

Croatia is my favorite for the final now
