    Diego Costa really doesn't fit in well with the style of the rest of the team.

    Nah he really doesnt ;)

    Well, he can do it on his own!

    That is such an obvious foul, what a farcical system

    Pepe getting a dose of his own medicine.

    Leant in with his elbow

    In the Premier League; Andy Carroll would have been booked for that

    Really, I saw nothing in it, and no need for Pepe to go down

    Interesting to note that VAR hasn’t been used yet. Seems like all the panic of it ruining the World Cup are unfounded so far.

    Costa literally ran and shoved his arm into Pepes face. What is a foul to you

    Cracking game this. Perfectly good goal by Diego Costa if you ask me.

    I'm baffled as to why they go to var for that but not for the ronaldo dive. surely you either look at both or neither

    Quite nice to see someone out-cunt Pepe and get away with it.
    The way he went down was fucking criminal too - exacerbated by how quick he got up once he realised he wasn’t getting anything.
    Nasty little fucker.

    This game making up for all the previous efforts. Portugal relying on Ronaldo to hit Spain on the break and Spain have worked a few chances.

    People not realising that VAR is being used. That's a good sign.

    Yep. Must have been mid gulp when the ref went to the VAR.
