Actually the oligarchs have lost a lot of power which is why Putin is hated by the Western press. The Western press is of the same ilk.

Portugal looked pedestrian for most of the game. I hope Iran pull through. Spain did not look particularly good either and their "goal" was just luck. Of the big name teams I've watched, only England and Belgium look convincing. I don't see Argentina or Portugal making it out of the group stages.
Well, lets have a prediction contest.
Who will make it to the next round (order is important)?
Group A: RUS, URG
Group B: ESP, IRA ☜ um Portugal/Renaldoland ???
Group C: FRA, DEN
Group D: CRO, ICE
Group E: SRB, BRA
Group F: MEX, GER ☜Sweden may interfere
Group G: ENG, BEL☜probably the other way round
Group H: SEN, JAP ☜this pool is the least certain
Round of 16 after this has been finalized.
Argentina aren't out yet
DEN vs AUS 51st minute...that is a penalty. Denied.
Okay, it's officially time for Argentina to panic.

I think it's time for them to board.
Even with a loss, Argentina is not technically dead. Will be on life support, but not dead. 4 points in the group stage is usually enough to get you thru....but you can't give up another goal because goal differential is the first tiebreaker.

They will be soon enough. They look horrible.
I definitely didn’t say they are dead, just that they should panic.
Maradona Kebab right now would be good enough for this team

There is the 2nd
Told ya! Argentina are done. Horrific defending, I've seen HS teams defend better.
I mean, this Argentina team wasn't very good in qualifying, needing the "magic of Messi" in the last game of qualifying (For those who aren't in the know, they beat Ecuador 3-1 in the final game of CONMEBOL qualifying, jumping from 6th to 4th and nabbing the last automatic spot...all thanks to Messi's hat trick).
Not sure why people thought they would just roll in the World Cup with the same cast of players.

This exactly.
Otamendi should be sent off for that. Cheap shot, blasting the ball at the downed player's head..

Need to go to VAR for that....are they allowed to look at that?
How did Oatamendi not get a red card?
Crow Asia looks good! I had'nt seen them play before.

This is a blowout, one more perhaps?
... decisive
No red for kicking a dude in the head? The replay is useless unless you’re France.
