Couple of no mark games, one excellent and some interesting ones. Stand out has to be Portugal v Spain. Mexico hit the right tactics to beat Germany in what I found to be an enthralling end to end game. Serbia v Costa Rica was 2 teams both trying to win but neither has great goal scoring capacity and I found it an interesting game. Russia weren't very good but their opponents were atrocious. For the Peru/Denmark game and the Morocco/Iran game see my Serbia comments. France took a while to get going and had it easy in the end. Pogba? Ineffective IMO.
VAR. Worked well up to the Brazil game for me. The Swiss goal should have been chalked off for the push which prevented the Brazilian defender jumping for the ball. Brazil should have had a penalty as well.
Refs. Best at a Finals, be that Euro or World, for a long time. Not perfect but better than they have been.
