MVP(Mod’s Choice)= Master Samus; I think Master Samus played amazingly for a guy who claims it was his second only mafia game. He never led the town on him and that’s why he deserves this award. He was impressive in manipulating the town that led to the ultimate mafia victory.
Player of Mafia; Master Samus/emudevelopment (shared); I think both were instrumental in the town’s defeat. Both were manipulative and deceptive. They clearly came out as pro-town and looked like de-facto town leaders. They led the lynch wagon w/o anyone uncovering their true motives.
Samus, you should be proud that you've helped make an environment where people feel safe enough to share their experiences.

Spain lost because of their own mistakes. Stupid challenges by Nacho (though he redeemed himself with that superb goal) and Pique, and wtf goalkeeping error from De Gea. You just dont concede free kicks in that area when your opponent has Cristiano Ronaldo in their team.

Bit harsh on Spain though and not enough credit for Portugal
Because first of all, they didn't lose. A draw was a very reasonable outcome of this match, especially if you take in consideration that the whole Spain camp is on high tilt since they fired the coach like a day before the tournament started. Second of all Ronaldo hasn't been a prolific free kick specialist for a while now so conceding that free kick there was always better than giving a 100% chance to anyone else. I agree though with the fact that Nacho, Pique and De Gea made some stupid mistakes, but punishing those mistakes is part of the sport and it's no coincidence that Ronaldo is the one punishing them

Our commentators thruw some statistics at it, mainly for Ronaldo.
- Scored in 4 world cups
- scored in 8 nations league cups (so world and europe)
- first time scoring more then once in a world cup (yes he just want from 3 to 6 goals on a world cup!)
- first time after 83 attempts to score from a free kick at a nations league cup
- Third hattrick for Portugal in history (1 of the previous ones was a 4 against South Korea in 1966 
)
For Spain:
after 6 previous consequative losses while playing in white at a world cup, they didn't lose >_>
but most surprising, Iran tops group B!

@Samus Can you change the title to WC 2018 so we can discuss the WC as a whole, not just the Spain - Portugal match. Would love to hear some people's opinions on other matches as well

Yeah I know it was a draw but for me Spain failed to bag their deserving 3 points. Taking nothing away from Portugal and Ronaldo but Spain clearly were the better team. But all in all a fantastic game to watch. I am glad they both went hard at it instead of playing out a dull draw. Ronaldo is always a treat to watch when he is in his element, even though I cant stand him

Spain has been failing since 2012, I never understood the hype around them. They don't have the striker to facilitate their play style and don't have the players to facilitate their striker

I've always said that France was my pick as the winner before the tournament started, England has been very solid this entire tournament, same goes for Belgium. Croatia is the underdog, but absolutely not without a chance, however playing 120 minutes and penalties twice already is pretty straining on a team. France > England > Belgium > Croatia for me
