    I'm not disagreeing Danny but a couple of points to consider...

    Is it easier to get it up and down from that distance and which had the most pressure on it?

    Kolorov's was much better than Ronaldo's, the ball was further out and on more of an angle!

    Ronaldo's free kick had such dip and swerve considering the pace he got on it, Kolarov's I feel was easier technique to curl over the wall from distance

    Roshimon: Wow what a goal! If you going to beat Keylor Navas from that distance then it's got to be special. Kolarov with his special left foot

    Choomah: Curlarov!!

    Steve: The early theme of this World Cup has been stunning free kicks. Serbia scored a peach of one.

    As far as free-kicks go Aleksandar Kolorov's was right out of the textbook. But how does it compare to Cristiano Ronaldo's for Portugal on Friday evening?

    Personally I think Ronaldo's just shades it but let me know what you think.

    So who was your star performer in the contest? Did Aleksandar Kolarov's free-kick fire him to a 10?

    Well deserved win for Serbia, they were the more controlled side, had more quality in the final third. They defended well enough, Costa Rica, but without too much of the ball or the quality of crosses to their strikers to really trouble Serbia.

    No it's just a booking for Aleksandar Prijovic. And we're close to the final whistle now.

    Whatever next as the clock ticks down Aleksandar Prijovic pulls at a Costa Rica defender and we've been referred to the video assistant referee. Will he be sent off?

    Last chance for Costa Rica to pull this round. Here comes Cristian Gamboa powering down the right. His deep cross eventually finds Bryan Ruiz whose shot is half blocked but Christian Bolanos is offside as he blazes over from close range.

    If anything Serbia look more likely to add a second than Costa Rica.

    That's two fantastic chances wasted by Aleksandar Mitrovic and the Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic has decided to hook him.

    I think that would have been harsh, initially I thought 'no penalty'. Mitrovic is leaning, looking for the contact. Referee's had a good game, got that absolutely spot on.

    Costa Rica 0-1 Serbia

    Aleksandar Mitrovic what are you doing? That's dreadful. The Serbia striker is put through on goal by another exquisite Sergej Milinkovic-Savic pass only to dally over it, try and induce a foul, before falling clumsily over.

    What a waste. That should really be that.
