12 things we loved on day seven: Isco, Keane, Ronaldo, Wright & more
Former Manchester United and Arsenal heroes made us chuckle for their work in the ITV studios on day seven of the World Cup.
One week on from the opening match of the tournament, all three matches ended 1-0 as Portugal beat Morocco, Uruguay bested Saudi Arabia and Spain were victors against Iran.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch in Russia.

There are seconds left, your team are 1-0 down in a World Cup game and you win a throw-in. Why wouldn’t you do this?

Isco
A wonderful footballer and good with animals. Form an orderly queue. We love it when animals invade the pitch.

Roy Keane
Just look at Keano’s reaction. “Must not let my guard down, must not let my guard down.”
Ian Wright: "what's he [Southgate] doing in the woods?" Even Keano liked that one!! 😂 #WorldCup18 #itv pic.twitter.com/yO8stiT85Y

Cristiano Ronaldo
A good day’s work, you have to say.
A look back at Cristiano Ronaldo's day:
– 85th international goal, most by any player in European history
– 2nd player to score 4 goals at a #WorldCup after 33rd birthday
– 1st player w/ 4 goals through team’s 1st 2 games at World Cup since Miroslav Klose for Germany in 2002 pic.twitter.com/F1Ad9pAvW1— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 20, 2018
Isco, again
The Real Madrid midfielder did a good impression of how every Manchester United supporter has felt for the last couple of seasons.

Pepe
He really is the shithouse’s shithouse.
Sergio Ramos
Not wanting to have his title taken, Ramos proved he really is football’s ultimate bastard.

Wolves have got a very, very good goalkeeper.
