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 ⚽️
And that’s the half. Cool fact: this is the first time #CRO & #NGA have faced each other in a competitive game. Cool fact: Twitter adds a flag when you hash-tag FIFA country codes, like #CRO & #NGA. Otherwise, pretty average game so far! #AWCHQ #CRONGA
Final game of day 3! Who will stake an early claim for Group D, the Fighting Tablecloths of Croatia or the Super Eagles of Nigeria? Or neither? For me, for now, I’m just glad to be able to watch it! #AWCHQ #CRONGA ⚽️
No luck finding English-language coverage on the car radio (a pipe-dream idea all along I’m sure); arrived at destination in time to see final stoppage. So who knows how good it was, because I don’t! Well, 40 minutes to Croatia-Nigeria! #AWCHQ #PERDEN ⚽️
Tragically I’ll be on the road for at least part of Peru vs. Denmark and unable to watch all of it! Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers for our family in this troubling time of great loss. #AWCHQ #PERDEN ⚽️
And there’s the 2nd of 4 today in the record books. I consider this one: not bad! I didn’t find it quite as entertaining as France-Australia earlier, but I also had to call my bank about a stolen credit card so that was distracting! #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
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 ⚽️
