Default Croatia played hard

Argentina must be shell shocked right now? They did not play as expected for sure. Is this the upset year for non favored countries? I have been watching in 720P on Fox and 4K from DirecTV. With the 4K picture the colors are more vivid and contrast is deeper but if you don't look for it it is very subtle in some shots.

In a way all three games today were a bit surprising. Australia played better than expected. France was in good position most of the game but Peru kept getting opportunities on the counter and should have scored at least one goal. I was stunned at how poorly Argentina played. It was not fluke in the end that Croatia won that game though the first Croatian goal was a huge mistake but also a great shot by Rebic.

A very sad day and tough loss for Argentina. Many surprises across the board this time around at FIFA...

Looks like the tournament is wide open with no clear dominant team. I'm liking Belgium's chances (#3 ranked team in the world).

Total shambles this Argentina side (and Football Association). Embarrassing mafiosi.

Haven't had a TV for many a year. I only watched Scandinavian drama's when I player was free, so never saw the need. I can get the commercial channels online so there's no great loss. I don't think Argentina will be alone for we have yet to see the England playpen do 'their stuff' on Sunday.

Still 0-0.
We won 4-1 against them last week.
Brazil should be able to do better here.
It's not the tournament of the big stars like Neymar and Messi. Ronaldo man of the World Cup so far.

Neymar 2-0 in the 97th minute.
It was hard but now it all goes more smoothly.
