@MailSport What about other two uefa cl winning midfielders, were they also sabotaging Ronaldo?

@Utd__max10 Before Alex Ferguson, people didn’t use wide attacking players?

Roberto Martinez is doing to this Portugal team what he did to Belgium. I still don’t understand how he keeps landing these high profile roles.

Impressed with Senegal. Prepared to play out from the back and ready to receive the ball in tight areas, and are finding spaces to trouble France. Need an end product in this phase before France start to dictate play, which they’ll ultimately start doing.

It all starts like this - mild disinterest post exhaustion from watching club football.

But like it or not, this is the World Cup and it doesn’t get any bigger than this. And if you haven’t found a team you are rooting for, you soon will.

Netherlands vs Japan ends in 2-2 draw. That was a fantastic game to watch, worth staying up late! Relentless pressure from the Japanese eventually paid off. Fair result I'd say.

1-1. Vinicius restoring the parity. Both the goals were sublime. But this Brazil team might have too many chinks in their armour. I am still not convinced.

[defencesplit @idefencesplit]

Morocco draw first blood! Brazil are in trouble. Well below the level of football I thought I’ll get to see from them.

Brazil vs Morocco, the first heavy weight game of the tournament!

Final score 🇶🇦 1-1 🇨🇭. Well done Qatar! Staying in it till the end. Switzerland would be cursing themselves that they weren't clinical.

Swiss are still in the warmup match mode.

🇶🇦 0 - 1🇨🇭 at 65 minutes.
Scoreline is not a true representation of how nonchalantly dominant Switzerland have been in this match. This is barely a contest.

@Thebigsoll It’s a slow burn.

🇺🇸 4-1 🇵🇾
If I hadn’t watched the game I would have said the score line was harsh on Paraguay, but it was accurate reflection of how the game went. USA were ruthless and created a lot more chances than they converted.

🇨🇦 1-1 🇧🇦 Final Score
Canada find a way to break the stubborn Bosnian resistance and earn a point, but would certainly be the less happier of the two. Group B already looking interesting after the draw.

[defencesplit @idefencesplit]

Canada turning the screw on, finding spaces and creating some real chances, should have equalised. Spectacular clearance from Kolasinac. Bosnia could have doubled their lead themselves, but it’s stays 0-1 at 69th min hydration break.

45 minutes in, Bosnia and Herzegovina are showing exactly why they deserve to be here. Playing with a football club-like clarity and identity, with the right blend of national spirit. Let’s see if Canada can find a way to break this resistance.

@TouchlineX Yeah there was no need, it was quite a pleasant day for the game anyway.

[defencesplit @idefencesplit]

Canada vs Bosnia could be the cagier game of the two today, Bosnia will stay compact and bring same grit they did against Italy in the playoff, USA vs Paraguay might be a more open game, both teams will fancy a chance, though the hosts likely to come out on top.
