I see flags from many nations at all games who have no relevance to the game at hand.
In the same game that the above happened there were Turkish flags and I spotted an Azeri flag too.
I doubt they were attacked.

Hopefully Spain start doing the fake injury bullshit now to stick it right up them.
3 more goals would also be acceptable.

Can't say soccer is my strong suit, somebody's gonna have to explain the flip for me.

You mean the throw in? Yeah, that like never happens, ever. I’ve seen it once or twice in my 25 years of watching the sport, I think he figured if you flips the way he did he will throw the ball longer into the danger area of the 6 yard box. It didn’t work out but it makes me believe that the Iran player who tried it before has done it before.

They’re called Vuvuzelas. They first made an appearance at the 2010 World Cup and everyone and their Dog hated them and found them annoying. And then they just disappeared all together from football after that tournament and now they’re back to haunt us all.
This time they don’t seem to be played at every match like they were in 2010. So that’s something, I guess.
Yeah I realised that just after posting, I thought they were just a South African thing though.
Someone should take one into the MCG and see if they get kicked out or beaten up first.
edit - early 90s at West Coast games they briefly had these ****in plastic horn things, think they lasted about 5 games before being banned.
Ronaldo's header was excellent. His reading of the game is outstanding. He was nowhere near it and then all of a sudden it was in the back of the net.
Mainly African teams using them.

Morocco should have won both games but they can't finish. Benatia would've had 3 good opportunities in yesterday's game but each one skied over the bar.

Guedes has been disappointing for me so far, Wonder if Andre Silva get's a chance in the next game, I suppose they don't need to mess with a winning side.

I lost count of the many different flags that were displayed in the first game between Russia and Saudi Arabia
. The Tunisian fan area in the bottom right corner a couple of days ago had Pakistani, Kuwait, Palestine, German, Cyprus, and Seychelles Island's flags 
Been like that for as long as I can remember
Seychelles & Cyprus? What even

I dare anyone to watch any world cup final in the modern era and not spot a flag that isn't between the two contesting nations
Third place final is even more bizarre - every man and his dog across the world turns up for it
The same happens at cricket world cups. I don't mind it, I'm just confused at the completely random nature of Seychelles and Cyprus turning up. Pakistan as well considering they are very far from a footballing nation.I dare anyone to watch any world cup final in the modern era and not spot a flag that isn't between the two contesting nations

Probably a few fans from those country doing the "see if you can spot us in the crowd on TV" thing with their friends back home.
