Poor reffing is allowing all sorts of nonsense that is contributing to a pretty poor standard of football all round.
A lot of cynical stuff like diving, tactical fouls (like the swiss taking it in turns to kick Neymar), holding in the box, time wasting.

I'd want my turn to kick Neymar to come round sooner.

Sigurdson should have really scored there !

Neymar is a massive c-unit

What is an opposition player meant to do when a player slips the ball passed to the side of him and then runs directly at /through him?
Evaporate?

Nigeria buying easy FK 's from a gullible ref .

 

[Monners]

This game is so poor tat I have decided to spend time on this forum

 

[wingy]

Liked Gabby Logans Ivana stunt with the coat lol.
Was initially wondering what the hell is she wearing and if hostilities had broken out.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Excellently taken. Poor game so far but lit up in that one moment.

Better then brackley

Nigeria really come alive now with the confidence of the goal .
Meanwhile Iceland are gathering steam.

Sigurdson is failing to show the class he has especially at FK's

 

[Covstu]

Good goal to be fair. Nigeria seem to be able to able to unlock that defense

Iceland very disappointing all round. Not sure if it’s the heat or they just haven’t turned up.

All too easy in the end. If Iceland have to chase a game then they are exposed badly at the back

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

This game looks like offering a way back for Argentina. Perfect result for them at the moment.

 

[wingy]

Iceland having a bad touch evrrytime where it counts
And their shape is out the window since they're having to chase the game.

Yes. Messi might still come good. Looked completely finished last night

Nightmare now.
Refs have got to do something about the goalies delaying the kick though .
Incredible miss however.

 

[wingy]

Wonder If the midfield change with Sigurdson deeper and someone else out has upset the applecart.

 

[Covstu]

Gunnarsson not the player he was, he must be knocking on abit now?

Just come back from injury - not sure that hairstyle does much for pulling women either - looks like his head is on upside down!

He's 29 - but I was surprised to see that he's 5'11" - thought he was shorter than that!

Yeah, well, that's kinky Icelandic women for you.

Switzerland struggling to get to grips here!

Serbia are a decent team. Much better than their mid 30s FIFA ranking. Shaqiri has decided to play the Neymar role in this game i.e. have 2 too many touches and then go down like he's been shot. Bit harsh that it's 3 bookings to 0. Ref seems to have missed his 'no bookings this tournament' memo.

 

[wingy]

Great goal .

What a joke some of this refereeing is.

Definitely a penalty foul on Mitrovic.

Awful decision. I really don't understand their decision making about when and when not to use VAR.

Well apparently they are reviewing everything, so they obviously saw the incident.

Incredible how they didn't identify that.

Absolutely incompetent refereeing again. If that's not a penalty then nothing is. It's not as if the box was full of players, the referee has no excuse for missing it. I hope that decision doesn't end up costing Serbia.

I worry that a bad decision could lose a team the trophy.
