Ronaldo's face just then was the most beautiful image of the tournament so far

From a neutral perspective, it does bother me that it was given. There was nothing in it and the forward dived. Sets a poor president.

With top 4 going through. How many fixtures though? You'd have to do what they're doing with Europa this year and not have everyone play everyone in the group, or you'd still be playing in August.

For a straight 'top 2' you'd need 8 groups of 3. But always one sitting out in the group stages while the other 2 play.

Or just use a sensible number of teams. 16 or 32.

Anything else, you'll always get 'lucky losers'.
Would the quality drop that much with 32?
Not sure it would, No point in qualifiers though.

It is a foul, but not enough to send him to the ground. Going to ground is not the only reason to give a foul. the little kick puts his stride back, so that he wont get the ball.

To be fair it was a good dive. No delay, went down as soon as he could.

Georgia were 1500/1 for the tournament before this game started. Wish I'd just stuck a silly quid on e/w. 250/1 now.

It should have been a penalty and a yellow card for diving. Just to even things out.

Southgate must be the luckiest manager ever right?

Holland? No sir, that's a bit tricky

Let's have Georgia smash Portugal and you can have Slovakia
Him getting Slovakia instead sums up his whole blagging tenure.
