Colombia playing against 12 men. Literally.

Ecuador and Peru in a barn-burner. 2-0 Ecuador at the half, Peru equalize in the first ten minutes of the second half and they take turns missing chances after that. And now Colombia have taken the lead vs Brazil early on. Not a bad day's entertainment for the off-season.

So do Portugal get Sweden or Belgium? I know which matchup I'm hoping for.

If the forearm is a penalty, that's a penalty.

Netherlands have looked good as well. Hopefully they can continue it against better sides.

Goretzka with a dagger.

They replay one of the day's matches later. I think I'll watch whichever one they pick, for the first time in the tournament. This has been great.

Neuer looking a bit shite today.

He did look a little slow on the uptake, the turn, and the chase.

Beautiful through-ball.

Haven't noticed him, but that's been the case all tournament, so hard to tell.

I don't know who looks more deer-in-the-headlights, Lloris or the referee.

So that means France vs England?

He got the ball.

How is that not a foul? Leave Jota alone, ffs.

I'm hoping Mbappe compels Pepe to retire from the sport. At half-time.

Who do Croatia get next? Spain Slovakia or Sweden, or perhaps the Poles? They have to be happy with that.

Did it touch the England player after it touched the Czech player? I've got the sound down.

Lovely footwork, in any case. Who needs Kane?

Was just wondering the same thing. Liable to do less damage there, I suppose.

Lose today or get thrashed in the next match. Beautiful finish.

Uruguay equalize vs Chile. Thought it was Suarez, but another for OG instead.

Just lacking that wee bit of 300,000 square miles of Belarus/Ukraine and the inevitable onset of winter.
