MOSTAFA ZIKO for Egypt🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

Terrific in the build up from Salah and Hassan. Poetic after the previous goal was ruled out.

The reigning champions are down 2-0 and 25 minutes from going out in the Round of 16😳.

That does it for Portugal’s 2026 World Cup campaign and likely Cristiano Ronaldo’s international career.

Biggest disappointment of the tournament by far. A complete lack of invention and creativity. And an embarrassing amount of reliance on a 41 year old.

Wasted potential.

Looks like Murat Yakin finally figured out his proper starting front four for Switzerland🇨🇭.

Embolo up front, with Vargas, Manzambi, and Ndoye behind him. Full of youth, explosiveness, and technical brilliance.

The Swiss will likely play Colombia🇨🇴 in the Round of 16👀👀.

ISSA DIOPPPPPP OH MY GODDDD

This World Cup is INSANE! Morocco🇲🇦 equalize in stoppage time. Unbelievable. The Fulham CB comes through in the biggest moment.

They’ve been the better team all night long. Well deserved. Extra time on the way. Quality football.

MARTINELLI FOR BRAZIL🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷!!

Heartbreak for Japan. Third straight World Cup going out like this. Gotta feel for them.

But Joga Bonita is moving onto the round of 16. Great start to the knockouts.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Quite the 0-0 draw in Miami between Portugal and Colombia. 37 total shots🤯 and countless chances, the better of which coming to Colombia. They certainly have the potential to win this tournament. Portugal have the talent to do so as well, but Roberto Martinez holds them back.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

This Portugal🇵🇹/Colombia🇨🇴 fixture is going to be absolute cinema tonight. Miami is gonna be rocking, and both sides have real cup winner potential. Group on the line. Some of the best players in the world. We will be there no matter what🤩.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

That’s now 3 goals and 1 assist in limited minutes at the World Cup for Johan Manzambi. Switzerland🇨🇭 have themselves a star boy. Maybe their most important player heading into the knockouts.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

This Colombia🇨🇴 team is giving me HEAVY 2014 vibes. Elite defensively and an insane front three. Luis Diaz is one of the most in-form players in the world, and James is always going to deliver on the international stage. Their clash with Portugal🇵🇹 could be generational.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Main takeaway from Germany’s🇩🇪 2-1 comeback win over Côte d'Ivoire🇨🇮:

Felix Nmecha is BRILLIANT. Best player on the pitch today. Always looking forward and an exceptional passer too. Also contributes a ton defensively. Germany lose that game without him. Dortmund have a star🤩🤩

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Interesting that Poch decides to slot Pepi into the starting 11 for Pulisic. US will play with two strikers against Australia’s sturdy back five. I’m looking for Tillman and McKennie to run the show in the middle today. Predicting a 3-1 victory for the Americans🇺🇸🇺🇸.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Czechia🇨🇿 have just embarrassed all of UEFA with that performance. Good for South Africa🇿🇦 for picking up a point. But the fact that Europe let this horrendous CR team qualify is a really bad look.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Seen SO much undeserved hate on many Portugal players.
The real issue is and always will be Roberto Martinez. He is simply not a good coach. Horrendous tactical setup. Several wrong lineup decisions.
Wasted Belgium’s golden generation and on pace to waste CR7’s last chance🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

This French🇫🇷 team is just too good. Admittedly terrible first half, but it doesn’t matter. Still beat the African champions 3-1. Riches of talent. Norway must pick up threes points tonight or they’re in real danger of a group stage exit.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Group H is going to be a ton of fun in the next two match weeks. Spain🇪🇸 and Uruguay🇺🇾 with a lot to prove after disappointing openers, while Saudi🇸🇦 and Cabo Verde🇨🇻 will be playing with so much confidence. One win is enough to make the knockouts. Can’t wait.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

The main story from that match will and should obviously be the inspired performance from Cabo Verde🇨🇻.

However, let’s not ignore how demoralizing a result that is for Spain. Winning a World Cup looks very unlikely after something like that. WAY too reliant on a teenage winger.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

AMADDDDDDD🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

The Ivory Coast have stolen three points! Ecuador are in shambles😬😬

This tournament is electric‼️

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Let this game serve as a reminder that Morocco🇲🇦 is NOT a dark horse. If this team makes the semis it shouldn’t be a shock to anyone. Bouaddi completely ran the show in the midfield. Unbelievable composure for an 18 year old.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Amongst the several stellar performances from USMNT players last night, Malik Tillman’s really stood out to me. So much creativity and directness added to the attack. Incredible between lines as well. Vital that he retains this form going forward.

[Britton Morrow @_Britton_Morrow]

Main takeaways after match day 1 at the World Cup:

- South Korea can 100% win this group.
- Julian Quinones and Kang-In Lee both deserve big money moves this summer.
- Czechia, and especially South Africa, are in real trouble. Both looked horrendous.
