Very easy for Spain.

Spain building nicely into the tournament much like at the Euros. Them vs France would be a seriously tough one to call.

Yeah this was a walk over for Spain. Portugal Vs Croatia later will be a much more intriguing match and one that could go either way.

And somehow all the really interesting matches are always at 2 a.m for me, while the easy to predict ones are at 9 pm 😭

well done to Spain!

Yeah there's a wild range of kick off times in this World Cup which is a problem of 3 different countries hosting it that don't all have the same time zone. The next World Cup will be in Portugal, Spain & Morocco and biggest time difference between those countries is 1 hour so the matches should be at more appropriate times 😂

Ronaldo retiring from international football after the tournament apparently..

Ronaldo with the freekick straight into an rather painful part of Pongracic's body.

Ruben Dias booked for Portugal.

This is a good game so far. Portugal seems to be on the front foot as of now but could go either way. Praying for penalties as per. 😂

Portugal indeed very much on top, Nelly Furtado amongst the famous faces watching.

I have to say, I don't know about anyone else but I literally have ZERO idea how the Switzerland Vs Algeria match is going go.

For me, it's the most unpredictable of all these fixtures so far in the knockout phases.

I've had SOME kind of idea for the outcomes but this one, I absolutely have no idea how to call it.

Four minutes of added time in this first half to play.

Croatia werent great vs England but are playing better now.

Perisic opens the scoring for Croatia, 1-0 Croatia.

Croatia break the 0-0 deadlock.

Perisic makes it 1! CR7's last dance?

Croatia have the ball in the net again, but it's disallowed.

Is Martinez brave enough to substitute him,
