Feud explodes as Mat Ryan's club teammate takes aim at Aussie for costly World Cup mistake​

Almost immediately after Ryan's blunder, FC Copenhagen teammate Kamil Grabara took to Twitter to swipe the Aussie gloveman. Must have been politics, for sure," Grabara tweeted along with a smirking face emoji.

Grabara was referencing his beef with Ryan at club level, where the pair are competing for the one spot in goal. Ryan was brought to FC Copenhagen to replace an injured Grabara in the side, but was ousted when the latter returned to fitness. Ryan believed his demotion was due to club politics while Grabara said he and Ryan are "not friends" when he spoke to media in October.

BTW I just realised, Italy mustn't have made the finals! Talk about being upset in Germany, they must be losing their minds in Italy.

You were really close regarding England and France. England won by 3 and Poland scored a goal deep into extra time to prevent France winning by 3.

The politics in England vs France is only surpassed by English-Germany. At least according to the English tabloids.

I said previously, I don't know if it's good or bad, if a team has a really good goal keeper, it's always a chance.

We will see, the upsets continue. The frogs are favourite with the bookies but it will rely on 2 things, the 3 lions ability to mark mbappe out of the game and or cutting off his supply and secondly if the 3 lions wingers can outspeed the frogs out wide and supply chances to cane. I expect the winner of this game to make the final from this side of the draw. Other side now that Brazil are flying home Argentina or Portugal.

I'm glad Brazil, Germany and Italy are out. Italy didn't even make it in. I believe the next most successful team is France so maybe things are falling in the UKs favour.

Watched a reply of Croatia vs Brazil. Brazil were so dominant it wasn't funny. Croatia basically scored after the one chance they had. Keep in mind they made the final last time as well. I think the population of the country is less than 10mil.
