    You know, the West is still so much in denial with the Bogeyman Putin.

    Meanwhile, Russia put on a fabulous tournament.
    Where were all the Hooligans?
    SBS, Fozzy and Lucy did a great job hosting the media coverage after that many
    complaints against Optus. I loved every bit of it and wished it could have gone on longer.

    It was fantastic to see England play further into the comp.
    Obviously, Croatia was nearly a dream come true. for them.
    Russia, as well with no form stormed into the comp as if they were favourites.
    They did the host nation proud.

    One of things I think worked fairly well was the VAR.
    Sure, there were still going to be controversy along the way.
    However, compared to the last World Cup where a lot of referees decision making left a lot to be desired.
    At least this is a fairer process.

    My one big negative is, they really need to get rid of the theatrical diving.
    For Neymar who is regarded as one of the superstars of the game, why does he need to dive if he is that good.

    Same goes for Mbappe.
    He is very gifted.
    However, if he falls for the same sh!t as Neymar's antics, he is nothing more than a gifted tool.
    The theatrics need to be stamped out of the game once and for all.
