France slaughtered Australia!

You flaming galahs, we cut you in tiny bits!

ok we won but I've seen some weak points in our team.

Our defense is fragile and even worrying !

Spain 7 Costa Rica 0

not bad...

Damn, that Canada plays surprisingly great, active football, but they simply cannot score.. So many great chances and a missed penalty. Well, another half-time to go, but I cannot see this turning for them.

True enough. As a Canadian fan it's frustrating because, for the most part, Canada has had the effort and the edge in field of play, but simply lacks the finish. They had to know that Belgium would be tough to beat. Guess we'll see what happens in the 2nd half.

"Germany took the Argentina route by thinking a match only lasts one period.."

yes it is true, maybe Argentina and Germany meets but at the airport !!!!!!!!

What is the mood like in Italy with the team not making the World Cup again. Has there been a decline in the quality of Italian soccer

It appears you gave an answer to your own pondering.

Damn, Canada played really well but just couldn't finish.

High hopes and best wishes to Uruguay!

But still they won Euro 2020 last year, and it looked like they are back in top big time after the fiasco of WC 1998, but no...

Mood is good. Personally I don't miss the world cup. Not THIS world cup!

Absolutely not! We keep our fingers crossed for Korea! Same like we did for Japan.

It looks like Brazil will slaughter the rest.

FIFA and Qatar: perfection with damn near everything against being a human being with the world's most boring sport.

What a horrific set up. Surprised the teams are participating. Says a lot.

The 2022 World Cup will always be known as the Fake Cup.

Didn't you read the first post of this thread? I wrote this:

"Feel free to post comments about the games here, but please do not use these pages for discussing politics. Thank you."

If you think football is a boring sport, or if you do want to past about FIFA and World Cup politics, please play by the rules of IORR and post your hate posts other places, outside IORR.

The reason why I watch football is games and moments like the ones we had with the Brazil vs Serbia game last night. It was simply a magnificent game, Brazil gave some brilliant football, and the second Richarlison goal was just magic. If you missed it just watch it, and judge for yourself.

Richarlison WONDER GOAL! Brail magic vs Serbia!

Saw this on the news. Outstanding.

Takes some mad skill to pull that off.

Wales v Iran is turning out good - both teams having to go for it!

Iran VS USA, winner proceeds. Spicy

What am I going to do tonight?

England vs USA and Chicago-Montreal in the NHL simultaneously!

First world problems.

Who will stop Brazil ??


At 17:00 CET Holland - Ecuador. Go Holland. Go!

Just agree, nothing in it…….

USA - England game kind of dull. Is good for US!

Well, that's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. US 0 England 0.

Meh! A ‘nothing game’, but we, the English, are in the driving seat, at least.

I think this is the fourth game this tournament to end 0-0!

A 0-0 result does appear to be rather common so far. Out of curiosity, what would be the tie-breaking formula for advancement if all 4 counties in any division each played each other to 0-0 draws in every match? Rematches with shootouts?
