If you're wondering what that sound is, it's 200 journalists having to tear up their Belgium obituaries in the Seattle press box. What a comeback from the Red Devils against Senegal as we head to extra time.
If anywhere highlights the warped economics of the World Cup it is in Vancouver and Seattle, where I have spent much of the last three weeks. Magnificent cities blighted by homelessness and fentanyl addiction, right there next to the stadiums. https://t.co/RcHHlrjBAs
A vibrant atmosphere as Egypt’s fans begin their march to the stadium. A smattering of Iran fans also here, alongside people adorned with the rainbow flag. Zero trouble two-and-a-half hours before kick-off in Seattle.
Ismael Kone confirmed to have broken leg by Canada's coach Jesse Marsch. He is being prepared for surgery tonight - a harrowing injury that the players said they could hear the break.
