Messi will get some headlines from that one! (Probably true no matter what happens, huh?) #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️

Very helpful translation, thanks Wikipedia!
(I know, I know, “sky blue and white”) #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
Half number two of game number two on day number three! Argentines vs. Icelanders, Messi vs. Ronaldo (somehow, it’s always that), viking claps vs. la albiceleste! #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
“It’s game on here at Spartak Stadium!” #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
Time for game 2! Here comes another giant of the international game with legendary results as well as fans. And that team will face off against Argentina, a scrappy underdog who are lucky to even be on this stage. Let’s go! #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
And that’s the first game of Group C done! I deem this game: pretty good! Whether it will be the single best one of a whopping four today remains to be seen, but with good fans, good play, drama, & excitement, it’s not a bad reward for being up at 5AM!
Not to be overshadowed by the technological upstart VAR, here’s goal-line technology making an appearance as well! We take it for granted nowadays, but it’s not hard to imagine that goal not being called by refs on the field. #AWCHQ #FRAAUS ⚽️
Apparently this is one of those games where nobody but the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball with their hand! Maybe make that more clear in the #WorldCup welcome packet, FIFA! #AWCHQ #FRAAUS ⚽️
Of all the young stars who might be difference-makers in this game, and the one to shine early in the second half is: VAR!
Second half of #FRAAUS is underway! Where were Australia’s players in that Adidas commercial? They must have flashed by so quickly I didn’t notice them. What will Pogba and his bleu Adidas do in the next 45 minutes of this #WorldCup? #AWCHQ ⚽️
