OK, so you’re going to get to keep debating the VAR call in Croatia-Portugal in the comments, because that seems to be the thing people are still talking about today. We’re in the last day of the Round of 32; Round of 16 matches start tomorrow.
Here’s your daily recap and upcoming matches for today.
Day 21 Recap
Spain 3-0 Austria
Goals: Oyarzabal (36’, 89’) Pedro Porro (66’)
The actual Spain vs. Austria match was whatever. Boring. However — PEDRO PORROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(1000 more Os)
Portugal 2-1 Croatia
Goals: Ronaldo [PK] (68’), Ramos (90+4)
| Perisic (53’)
Whooo boy this match is going to dominate conversation for a while, isn’t it? Portugal equalised via a (eww) Cristiano Ronaldo penalty, went ahead in injury time, Croatia equalized with virtually the last kick of the match, but it was called back by VAR as offside in a HIGHLY controversial decision by Premier League VAR ref Jarred Gillett.
Switzerland vs. Algeria
Goals: Embolo (10’), Ndoye (46’)
Look, I did not watch this because I wasn’t keeping my old ass up until 1.m. for freakin’ Switzerland vs. Algeria. Sorry not sorry.
