    World-cup 2018 , QF, SF and Final ( News , Results and updates )

    I said embarrassing “moment”. You surely understand what “moment” means. And indeed it was an embarrassing moment to hold and umbrella over the head of Putin only. They themselves recognized it and corrected it. Also it was embarrassing that two people with most likely fake uniforms found their...

    Embarrassing moments for Russia: People ran into the pitch during the match. They had no plan B for the trophy presentation if it rained, other than providing an umbrella only for Putin. It was embarrassing enough that they later brought umbrellas for others. But daddy Putin had to be protected...

    Croatia beautifully advanced the ball close to the box, from there they had no plan or a good finisher. France were able to finish and that is the difference.

    Great news: Faghani may be the ref for the World Cup Final

    What an achievement by Faghani. The way I read it is that Fifa is telling him that his performance was worthy of the final, had it not been his first appearance as the man in the middle in the World Cup. American Mark Geiger got the VAR for the third place match. Good for Faghani. I bet you he...

    Great news: Faghani may be the ref for the World Cup Final

    Belgium looked vulnerable against Japan, and Brazil. They were a very good team, but I think they went as far as they could have. France showed moments of beautiful football today. I wish they could have sustained it. It was an open match by both teams and France created a lot more chances.
