So want a NZ win but going for 1-1

[Zachary Meisenheimer @ZacharyAM]

Match Day 5, Game 16

Iran 2 New Zealand

Boxall for the Kiwis.

What do you think will happen people of X?

@aftncanada

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia showing today that even if you don't have the top world class players that your opponents do, if you've got a top notch keeper, that can serve you very well at the World Cup.

[AFTN @aftncanada]

3-0 Uruguay.

They've a great chance to win this group now after Spain's draw this morning. That'll be added motivation to come out strong.

[Zachary Meisenheimer @ZacharyAM]

Match Day 5, Game 15

Uruguay 2 Saudi Arabia 1

Valverde with a brace for the South Americans and Al-Juwayr for the Saudis.

What say you, X?

Okay, @TSN_Sports (and love you Milan), but it is NOT a lack of organization on @thevoyageurs that causes us to be spread out in a stadium.

We can only get the tickets FIFA offers to us through @CanadaSoccerEN.

Usually this means we’re not pitchside for big events like WC…

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Wisnae me! 😆

[Scottish Football Away Days @scotsawaydays]

Scotland fans ripping England flags down at the World Cup.

[AFTN @aftncanada]

3-1 Egypt if Belgium score early.

2-1 if they don't!

[Zachary Meisenheimer @ZacharyAM]

Match Day 5, Game 14

Belgium 3 Egypt 2

Doku, KDB & Lukaku for the Red Devils. Salah & Marmoush for the Pharaohs.

What do you have?

@aftncanada

[AFTN @aftncanada]

@Maa_Boajch Love it

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Fantastic first half from Cape Verde. Have kept Spain to outside box for large spells and some big saves from their keeper.

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Attention fellow @PaniniAmerica
collectors and @WhitecapsFC
fans in particular.

The 120 update set has been announced for players in squads but not in the album and it includes Sebastian Berhalter!

Sadly not Rayan Elloumi though.

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Don't think it'll be as big a blowout.

I'm hoping Cape Verde get their World Cup moment, so going to go 4-1 to Spain.

[Zachary Meisenheimer @ZacharyAM]

Match Day 5, Game 13

Spain 6 Cape Verde 0

(I hope I am wrong and this is a closer match!)

What do you think?

About 16 years ago I met @aftncanada at a Whitecaps academy match. We got to talking and asked if I would go to games and take photos for him. After all that time, we are covering the World Cup. I feel we have earned our spot, but I have a feeling of quiet disbelief.

📸THE STORY IN PICTURES: The atmosphere was electric in @BCPlace on Saturday night as Australia beat Turkiye 2-0 in World Cup action and sent the yellow throngs into ecstasy.

Our @residualimage captured the action for us. Check out his fantastic photos at https://t.co/1oxWxlLLQw

@CD_Prior Looked great on TV. Wish I could have made that game work.

The Aussies yellow makes for an amazing visual.

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Looked a great game to be at.

Well done Australia. Fantastic win.

@mallard2000 Decided what the hell, it's only money!

[AFTN @aftncanada]

Being in the stadium for this, as a fan, after a 28 year absence from the World Cup was amazing.

Goosebumps.

[AFTN @aftncanada]

@cjones2451 Agree. BC Place is a great stadium. Good sightlines even up top.
