Next up is Brazil’s opening match, taking on Switzerland! I’m looking forward to that one, but with travel on my schedule I’ll be watching it from the DVR an hour or two behind. #AWCHQ #BRASUI ⚽️

Wow x2! What a great game! With constant attacking and counter-attacking, it was a gripping watch from first kick to final whistle. So far, for star-power and flair I give it the edge for today’s games! #AWCHQ #GERMEX ⚽️

Wow! That was a fun first half! The TV stat said #MEX has never beaten #GER in their 3 previous #WorldCup meetings, but that Germany has won every opening game for the past 7 tournaments. Where will today’s game go in the history books? #AWCHQ #GERMEX ⚽️

Here we go with the 2nd course of the day! How will defending world champions and title favorites Germany handle an attacking Mexico team that’s looking for a deeper run than their traditional round-of-16 exit? #AWCHQ #GERMEX ⚽️

And that’s it for the 1st game of group E! Continued back & forth attacking play, some exciting moments, even some brief handbags break out. I rule this game: not bad!. Next up, the much-anticipated #GER v. #MEX match! #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️

Enjoying Aly Wagner’s work on the commentator’s mic. As the 1st female voice to cover a major men’s tournament for a U.S. broadcaster, she’s doing: fine! It’s groundbreaking, yet also sounds perfectly normal (of course). #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️

There’s one half of the match played. It’s been fairly one-sided, but with pretty nice, fluid, attacking play from both teams! Wonder what kind of 2nd-half changes either side will make. #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️

Good morning & welcome to day 4! Our appetizer course today is Costa Rica (#CRC) v. Serbia (#SRB). How will our first CONCACAF rival do against the possible dark-horse European team? Here we go! #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️

That’s a wrap for Day 3. #CRONGA had its moments, but it doesn’t compare to either of the first 2 games. My recommendation, if you’re picking from these 4: either #FRA v #AUS or #ARG v #ISL, depending on how much you want to see the Messi Show. #AWCHQ ⚽️

Apparently trying to get an impromptu piggy-back ride from an opposing player while defending a corner kick is also frowned on! #AWCHQ #CRONGA ⚽️
