Diego Costa puts Spain in the lead.

Commentators calling it lucky, but how is it lucky when they have 7x as many passes?

It ricocheted off Diego Costa so it was lucky. Of course, if you create more chances you are more likely to 'make your own luck' as the saying goes. I wouldn't read too much into Spain having more passes as that's usually the case even when they lose.

The 'Magic Negro' has started for Denmark, it's so incongruous, and sad, to see a dark-as-pitch African playing for the land of the Danes...

Denmark now has some of the most strict immigration laws in Europe. Hopefully seeing this guy will further wake them up. If not, they can look forward to their football team being darker and darker every 4 years. England and France will be their destiny.

I hope so, the big demographic problem in Denmark is the Moslems...

The way the British commentators are anticipating a Tim Cahill substitution you'd think he were some kind of 38-year-old Australian Maradona.

I doubt they'd hype him if he was White. He probably wouldn't have been in the squad. He's 38, what can he be expected to do that would change the game? He probably needs a Zimmer frame these days, lol...

The Frenegal team is slightly Whiter than usual. Only seven non-Whites, lol...

One of the few teams I am rooting for is Denmark. I missed the second half and I am surprised and disappointed they didn't beat Australia. Their defense has bended but have yet to give up a goal as Australia scored on a penalty kick and they shut out Peru Saturday.

The Danish squad is mainly white ( perhaps the least ugly team too ha) and they have a rising star in Christian Eriksen the heart and soul of the team. Only 26, Eriksen plays for my favorite Premier League team Tottenham (Harry Kane).

See below his gorgeous first half goal this morning. Just a superb goal displaying his top of the line craft. He misdirects the ball with elegant casualness. Smooth as can be. Be patient as it takes a bit to load but it is over a minute with commentary.

Denmark have looked quite good so far, it'd be good if a couple of the non-White players got suspended or injured...

France look somewhat watchable with Lloris in goal, Pavard and Hernandez looking solid in the back, along with Giroud and Griezmann leading the attack. Giroud did the work for france's goal.

Didn't you hear the woman though, the simple straight forward pass off the weak turnover was the entire reason the goal was scored, therefore the goal was all Pogba.

What an amazing squad Croatia back in '98! Suker, Boban, Prosinecki, Asamovic, Vlaovic et al... They should've won the WC in '98...
