And not even 5 minutes in, it’s game on! With an early lead, can the early-scoring team build on this, or hang on for another hour and a half? How will the opponents respond? #AWCHQ #WorldCup #PORESP ⚽️

And we’re off, with one of the most anticipated group-stage matches on the schedule! Stars galore and two teams with a real possibility of going deep, if not all the way. Come on, soccer gods, give us a good game! #AWCHQ #PORESP ⚽️

Hey, whoa, wait a minute! Cristiano Ronaldo will be at this tournament?! What a surprise! Wow, what an oversight by Fox to not promote that even a single time in any of their ads beforehand!! Wonder if Messi’s here too…? #AWCHQ #PORESP ⚽️

And that’s the 2nd game down. Except for more guys spending time on the ground, some injured, some not, this game was very similar to the first. Not a compliment! Today’s like a concert with two underwhelming opening bands. Will the headliner redeem it all? #AWCHQ #MARIRN ⚽️

And there’s the 1st half of the 1st game of #WorldCup 2018’s Group B. Another one so far without a ton of excitement. Some shots taken & saves made, one side with the majority of possession but unable to do much with it. #AWCHQ #MARIRN ⚽️

Game 2 kicking off! The time for hype is over, as the famous and mighty international sides of Morocco & Iran face each other on the world stage! Here’s hoping for some good soccer! #AWCHQ #MARIRN ⚽️

And the logjam finally breaks, in the 90th minute! The pressure’s been simmering, and finally boils over. A nice header, textbook stuff, not really highlight-reel stuff for anyone but that team’s fans. #AWCHQ #EGYURU ⚽️

Hey, wow! That was a good shot from Egypt! It missed, but there was a brief second of excitement! Seventy-five minutes in and some truly amazing play needs to happen to salvage this game. #AWCHQ #EGYURU ⚽️

Well, hmm. That first half was… consistent, I guess you could say? Egypt fans probably happy to see their team holding their own, at least. Neutrals hoping for a this game to crack open in the second half. #AWCHQ #EGYURU (not #URUEGY, I guess? oops.) ⚽️
