Looking over tomorrow’s schedule, and oh my gosh it’s good!
7AM – Belgium vs. Tunisia
10AM – Korea Republic vs. Mexico
1PM – Germany vs. Sweden
Sadly I’ll be on the road again for all of #KOR v #MEX & probably the start of #GER v #SWE. Poor planning! ?
Well that wound up being a pretty fun game! “This was one of the best games of the tournament”, according to universally beloved pundit @AlexiLalas. For the day overall, I think you really can’t go wrong with any of them! #AWCHQ #SRBSUI ⚽️
For our final match of Day 9 we wrap up Group E with Serbia vs. Switzerland! Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will look to add 3 points to #SRB’s current 3, while Xherdan Shaqiri & Steven Zuber try to build on the one #SUI earned against Brazil on Sunday. #AWCHQ #SRBSUI ⚽️
Catching up after going to B.D. Riley’s for the #NGAISL game (had a good time & good food): not a bad match between #NGA and #ISL, overall. I found the second half more entertaining, and jokes about Player X as their country’s Messi are just a bonus! #AWCHQ ⚽️
Next on the menu we go back to Vologograd, and Group D! We’ll see Victor Moses & the Super Eagles of Nigeria, with zero points, take on Gylfi Sigurdsson & Iceland with the one point they earned against Argentina. #AWCHQ #NGAISL ⚽️
It may be kind of a spoiler but if you watch this #BRACRC match, through all the pratfalls and pressure buildup, then let it play to the end. #AWCHQ ⚽️
A disappointing first half, with the skill & attack of #BRA struggling all half against the fouls and defense (and more fouls) of #CRC. Gods and goddesses of soccer, here our plea: let this game open up! #AWCHQ #BRACRC ⚽️
Welcome to Day 9 & the day’s only game with a “big” team. Yes, it’s Keylor Navas & Los Ticos (Spanish for “the ticos”), taking on Brazil, a little-known South American team that’s just happy to be there. #AWCHQ #BRACRC ⚽️
And that’s it for another day at the #WorldCup in Russia! A lot going on yet again today, and a slightly complicated recommendation: I suggest you either (a) watch all of #DEN v #AUS, or (b) watch 1st half of #FRA v #PER and 2nd half of #ARG v #CRO. #AWCHQ ⚽️
Read not 10 minutes ago a random commenter on the Guardian live blog say, “This game will be decided by a grotesque defensive error.” Lots of time before it’s decided, but that was quite a prediction. #AWCHQ #ARGCRO ⚽️
