I’m not convinced England can go the distance. I’m also not convinced they can’t. It’s a team I just don’t have a good sense of how good they are. Maybe they don’t either? #NORENG#worldcup#fedifc
He is simply the GOAT. Not a spectacular game from him, but over 90 minutes? The quality bubbles up eventually. 2-2 just like that. #argegy#worldcup#fedifc
Did they just say VAR didn't have a look?!? I don't know that it's a penalty as there was certainly some embellishment, but to not have a look at all? #SUICOL#WorldCup#fedifc
Ugh. Quality cross and header back against the grain. I am gutted for Egypt, who really deserved better. Credit to Argentina, who did not quit even when it looked dire. #argegy#worldcup#fedifc
VAR review bails out Argentina. It was a foul, but a long distance from goal and if the referee doesn’t give it on the field? I don’t like it, even if technically correct. #ARGEGY#WorldCup#fedifc
Ajer is late on a great pass and VAR finds it a penalty. I thought so live, although I thought Ajer got a tiny piece of the ball. SAVED! Feels like justice to me. #BRAPAR#WorldCup#fedifc
Mexico will want to get into halftime only down 2-0. They’ve been mostly good, but England may have finally woken up and Mexico’s midfield have not done well defensively at all. #mexeng#worldcup#fedifc…
Cape Verde are consistently frustrating their opposition. Spectacular team defense, but that back four works as such a comprehensive unit. Rotations and communication are impressive. #ARGCPV#worldcup#fedifc
Hats off to Cape Verde. Phenomenal performance. Phenomenal team. Absolutely brilliant and we are both richer for having witnessed it and poorer for their departure. 🇨🇻 👏 🫡 #argcpv#worldcup#fedifc
I was thinking Portugal had gathered some momentum after the hydration break and that's mostly true. I think I have the timing a bit off, but they've found their footing. More even now. #PORESP#WorldCup#fedifc
Phwoah! Don't close down Halaand quickly enough and you're probably going home disappointed again, Brazil. Far too much talent to fail to do the little things. Start up the rowers! #BRANOR#WorldCup#fedifc
Halaand or Nyland as MOTM? For most it's Halaand. I think, for me, it's Nyland. Wouldn't argue about either. Thin PK awarded and a silly moment from Neymar can't overshadow nearly 2 goals prevented. #BRANOR#WorldCup
Endrick cannot get a good shot off against Nyland, despite being in on goal. Wanted it on his other foot, when any lateral cut against an onrushing goalkeeper would score. Gorgeous feed from Vinicius Jr. #BRANOR#WorldCup
Brazil have opted for a very aggressive directness rather than patient build up. And Norway have allowed some rushed counters and will need to avoid overextending (or consider tactically fouling when the rush is on) #BRANOR#WorldCup
