This game reminded me of Stoke vintage TP 2009 against Arsenal - totally anti football but oh so enjoyable - another serious contender out of the competition

It's a shock and everything but, apart from 2010, entirely in keeping with Spain's world cup history.

Enjoyable though it was to see Spain depart, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Iniesta.
A quite superb player. What on earth were they thinking leaving him on the bench.

I've seen the t-shirt, sorry, the Pique situation now ...
and I think they got a penalty because Pique's arm actually stopped the ball from going on goal! They probably also saw it as he was aware of what both arms were doing - one up and one down, even though he has not eyes in the neck ...
No more special situations in the game. When Spain scored, both players were holding each other. Was this the other situation? Own goal it was. Nothing to discuss. Not a penalty since the ball went in. Could have been a free kick also.
But Russia won't win the WC.

But Russia won't win the WC. The other incident was the non award of a penalty to Spain towards the end of ET. Never mind that. I'm intrigued by these chicken sausages. I don't know if we have them in England. Are they very popular in Sweden?

A poet friend of my brother used to buy them at Lidl to his family. A lot of people do. Price 15 SEK = £1.25. But today it will soon be fish balls w potatoes and tomatoes in a lobstersauce plus some blackcurrant drink.

I think they take the whole fish, bones, skin, everything and just press them.

WELL IF ANYONE - I MEAN ANYONE, DOESNT THINK THE GAME IS BENT well - there it is blatant penalty to Spain in injury time against the host nation not given ( PERHAPS TWO OFFENCES EVEN) ( EVEN REVIEWED THROUGH VAR) ( and Ive got Russia in the works sweep) It wasn't. The var was right on the penno.
