    Tough injury for the Russia no 9, wouldn't wish that on anyone, game like this.

    A tidy player too, Dzagoev. At one point he looked a very promising young player and just never really fulfilled his potential.

    If Tunisia are like Saudi then England will have no problem. Dreadful team.

    These two are the worst at the World Cup those and in the 60s for FIFA Ranking

    Tunisia are 21st in the World whilst we're 12th...

    The Saudis certainly like to pass it about

    They seem to overpass whenever they get a chance to attack.

    Doesn't help that they all have a first touch worse than Jason Euell on a bad day either.

    Christ how did Russia score from that!!

    Both sides were all over the place there - Uruguay and Suarez will tear them both a new one!!

    Almost put Cheryshev in my fantasy team too, just didn't think he would start.

    That was...not a pretty build up to the goal.

    Game over. Well taken but comic defending.

    So are the Russians good or the Germans bad?

    It's why I have Suarez in both of my fantasy teams and why he must be worth a punt for top scorer.

    Nice touch on ITV, having a ref (Clatenberg) analysing some of the decisions

    BT sport do it all the time - it's good to get a ref perspective

    Sounds like you lot have had a Stalin reference. Over here, the match commentator referred to Spain as having "Whacked" their manager, which begs the question, has anyone seen Lopetegui alive since he was fired?

    VPN tunnel packed in at KO, watching Fox on a stream. That made me laugh too... Who is commentating with Meola, SD?

    Someone called JP Dellacamera. He's just a run of the mill play-by-play guy. He's done soccer for forever and to be fair to him he's not awful, he's fine, there are much worse.

    Love the Stadium Announcer too

    Have the feeling thats the sound of his voice and that he's not using a mic when speaking

    It's weird, I thought he liked to play with the Russians.
