Group G now has the opportunity to do the funniest thing. Especially with Belgium having a player sent off.

Just need another 3 draws and the NZ/ Iran qualification quinella is all on.

CONMEBOL standard is crap these days.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

NZ might win this. Egypt, like Salah, are past it

EDIT - This aged well.

It turned into quite a day for the big name goal scorers.

Some interesting refereeing on show in the England v Ghana game. Can't help but think that if the shirt colours had been reversed Ghana would have been down to 10 and England would have had a penalty.

Especially the Pickford one, even England supporters seemed to think he was fairly lucky to still be on the field let alone not giving away a free kick. If it had been Kane vs [Ghanaian keeper]...

I enjoyed the England vs Ghana game but if you look at the stats it was obvious what the Ghana strategy was. They decided to just defend to ensure they progress and they not a push over team so it makes it very hard to score if that's the strategy. It does make the game dull. A draw means at least 1 point

England vs Ghana possession : 72% -20%

England vs Ghana attempts at goal : 19-2

So now Ghana has to just draw with Croatia to progress in group L?

There's been way too many of these high level professional players blasting the ball over the goal posts. I can understand Harry Kane doing it when he was catching the ball on a volley, but quite a few times the player has had plenty of time to line up a shot.
