Pretty exciting game in Volgograd so far! Hate to see a player get subbed out due to injury so early, though. What effect will it wind up having? #AWCHQ #TUNENG ⚽️

And here we go with the third & final game of the day! The Three Lions (#ENG) face the Eagles of Carthage (#TUN). As a Shakespearean preview might ask: Tunisia, or not Tunisia? #AWCHQ #TUNENG ⚽️

And that’s it for the first game in Group G. It was a good one!. Several highlight-reel worthy plays, and in between mostly earnest, attacking play. Good work, #BEL & #PAN, we needed that. #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️

Here we go with the second half. There’s been some nice attacking so far but there’s been staunch, clever defending, too. Will things crack open more in this second half? (Hint from a slow update typist: YES!) #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️

And there’s the Belgian love for chocolate, as we see Mertens clearly yelling for Fudge! after that shot. I hope they have that for him in the locker room at halftime! #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️

Half an hour in and a much more energetic, open game here in #BEL v #PAN. Enjoying it! #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️

All right, here comes the powerhouse of Belgium, taking on the spot that should have been the USA’s: Panama! One-sided beatdowns aren’t always much fun, but there’s the potential for one here. Let’s see! #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️

Yay, it’s finally over! In my opinion this second Group F game was: not good! The one (1) moment of interest in this game was created by VAR, if that tells you anything. Here’s hoping for better games later! #AWCHQ #SWEKOR ⚽️

You know how fans call for the ref to blow the whistle in stoppage time when their team is winning by one & they want the match to be over? I’ve been doing that at my TV for 20 minutes, and not for the sake of either team. #AWCHQ #SWEKOR ⚽️

What’s amazing about this opening match so far between Group F non-favorites #SWE and #KOR is how bad it’s been. If you love fouls (25 total so far) & hate shots on goal (barely 3 so far), this is the game for you! #AWCHQ #SWEKOR ⚽️
