Well there you go. Not that #AUS v #PER was amazing, but #FRA v #DEN really was a snoozer. If you wanted evidence for why it’s worth having “eliminated” teams play out their third game, that’s not a bad way to make the case. #AWCHQ #FRADEN #AUSPER ⚽️

RT (minus spoiler detail) @OliverKayTimes: “Seen some great games so far at this World Cup. #DEN v #FRA is not one of them. Crowd booing. Two teams coasting… No intensity whatsoever. … 68 minszzzzzzz #DENFRA” #AWCHQ ⚽️

Halftime in the Group C games and it’s been less thrilling than I’d hoped. For the first halves I think #AUSPER has been the more entertaining, but that’s been less than amazing so far. We’ll see whether it or #FRADEN come to life in the second 45! #AWCHQ ⚽️

& in Sochi there’s another battle looming: Australia could squeak out of the group if they add 3 points to their 1 (but only if Denmark loses); while Peru, eliminated, will try to turn their quality play into their 1st goal, if not their 1st result! #AWCHQ #AUSPER ⚽️

Holy cats! Will update the page soon but those were a couple more great and crazy games. Maybe I’d give the edge to #ESPMAR but #IRNPOR was a pretty fun & wild ride too! #AWCHQ ⚽️

What a half! Upgraded my math skills and scenario evaluation, too. Buckle up for the finale of Group B. #AWCHQ #ESPMAR #IRNPOR ⚽️

Next up: Group B, with more on the line & complicated advancement scenarios! Drawing of lots, maybe!! #POR on 4 points, will play #IRN, on 3. Meanwhile #ESP, also on 4, play a #MAR side that is eliminated but could be a spoiler.! #AWCHQ #IRNPOR #ESPMAR ⚽️

You think watching 2 simultaneous game is hard, try also dealing with an Airbnb crisis at the same time! I was even less able to fully get into these games than I would have been, but for games without much on the line they both seemed pretty good! #AWCHQ #URURUS #KSAEGY ⚽️

“You could not have scripted this any better,” and “That will go down in World Cup history as an iconic moment,” – even games that don’t affect the knockout rounds, like this one between #KSA & #EGY, can be great! #AWCHQ #KSAEGY ⚽️

Today we start the final pairs of games in each #WorldCup group, 2 time slots of 2 games played simultaneously. First up, Group A: #URU vs #RUS (both already advancing, but who will be 1st?) & #KSA vs #EGY (both out, playing for pride only). #AWCHQ #URURUS #KSAEGY ⚽️
