#WorldCup Day 2, here we go! National anthems going now. I’m a fan of both teams, both originally because I’m a Liverpool supporter: Suarez’s Uruguay are surely the favorites over Salah’s Egypt (minus Salah as a starter), here’s hoping for a great game! #AWCHQ #URUEGY ⚽️

Well, that’s the first #WorldCup game in the books! If you didn’t watch, and wonder if you should: here’s my spoiler-free verdict: yes! (RT to spread the word? Thanks!) #AWCHQ #RUSKSA ⚽️

Not able to pay full attention because of very inconveniently-timed work fires, but this game seems pretty exciting relative to the “worst teams of the tournament flailing at each other” expectations everyone tried to give me! #AWCHQ ⚽️

And there it is, a good start for the hosts, pressing hard for it! 1-0 Russia, 12th minute. #AWCHQ ⚽️

One comment

ZERO days until #WorldCup2018! It’s here! Who’s ready?! I’m ready!! #AWCHQ ⚽️

I’ve taken off work, some full days, some half days, for the next two weeks, but that starts tomorrow. So I’ll be watching today’s first kick from a conference room at work (don’t tell my boss).

And the final question and answer for the day from #AWCHQ:

  1. “Is that Nicky Jam/Will Smith song the only ‘official’ FIFA World Cup™ theme?” Nope! There’s also this one by Natalia Oreiro, the best Spanish/English/Russian song you’ll here today. ⚽️
