I found myself cheering on Jedi. I hate the players collapsing holding their face-routine that is common even in League Two these days and clearly favoured by the French wing-back who was rightfully booed for much of the game by the Aussies. Re the penalty: wasn't the clip on the back ankle grounds for a penalty-even if the defender touched the ball at the start of the tackle?

Yes, unless the player is wearing a red and blue shirt and his name begins with a Z. In that case of course it's a yellow card instead.

I thought that was a pen, and so was the one the ref gave Peru just now and which they fluffed. But then I also thought Denmark should have had one just after that for a whole series of agricultural assaults in the box.

Hat's off to the organisers of this World Cup, especially for the introduction of VAR and Russia as a host quite refreshing all round.
