Not seeing Uruguay getting out of their group is a surprise. Considering the players they have. Happened four years ago too. Spain hasn’t shown much so far but they topped their group. Nice to see Cape Verde go through with that draw against Saudi Arabia. Bravo.
Dembélé showed why he’s one of the elite players in the world. Leading France to a victory over Norway, with Haaland not playing a minute but understanding why. And Senegal taking care of Iraq with ease as they should go through into the round of 32.
Besides topping their group, the USMNT loss does leave a bitter taste, especially the way they played in the first two games. Australia got the second spot while Paraguay should get through also. Turkey came in with a lot of hype only not to live up to it.
Netherlands and Japan go through from there group. Japan has a good squad. Netherlands always a contender. Sweden hasn’t looked strong. Tunisia one of the weaker teams of the World Cup.
What a game Ecuador and Germany gave us. So good. Glad Ecuador and the Ivory Coast got through. Germany was a given. Quality players. Curaçao gave a good effort. Eloy Room, what a goalkeeper.
Mexico with no problem winning their group. Secured all nine points. Korea seemed to be the favorite to finish second but South Africa was not having it. Big win for them. Czechia looked lost since their first game. Props to Ochoa.
Switzerland was the better team in their group. Canada has a solid team. Bosnia and Herzegovina deserved to go through and Qatar never got it together.
Big win for Colombia, who have been playing very well in this World Cup. Should have won by more. Congo gave a good run but Colombia was the better team. And that crowd. Bravo.
