Here comes our 2nd game of the day, back to Group A with Uruguay taking on Saudi Arabia! #KSA need a result to survive after the 5-0 beatdown they got in their 1st game, but #URU can clinch advancement with a win. #AWCHQ #URUKSA ⚽️
There’s the final whistle, and that’s a big result! Not a matchup many outside #POR or #MAR may have marked on their calendar, but an exciting game to start the day. #AWCHQ #PORMAR ⚽️
That was a fun first half: action, excitement, attacks, & counterattacks! Thank you, sirs, may we have another? (Also, my bad: #MAR on 0 points coming in to this game.) #AWCHQ #PORMAR ⚽️
And we’re underway in Moscow on Day 7: #POR on 1 point, #MAR on 3. And an early goal on the board before I’ve even had breakfast! A whole game to go, will they hold on to that lead, or build on it, or surrender it? Let’s see! #AWCHQ #PORMAR ⚽️
There’s the whistle on #WorldCup Day 6, which goes out with a roar! None of today’s games were bad, but my spoiler-free (spoiler-lite, anyway) recommendation for the day is: Russia vs. Egypt. #AWCHQ #RUSEGY ⚽️
It’s pouring now at the #RUSEGY match in St. Petersburg, literally and figuratively. #AWCHQ ⚽️
The first half of Salah in Saint Petersburg is done, and it’s been a tough, cagey match so far as #RUS and #EGY each strive to get three points from their second game in Group A. #AWCHQ #RUSEGY ⚽️
And here we go with the last game of the day, back to Group A for the hosts #RUS facing an #EGY team with Mohamed Salah back in the starting lineup! #AWCHQ #RUSEGY ⚽️
That’s it for the 1st round! As earlier, #POL v #SEN wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t bad. & it was… eventful. @SteveDavis90 said it had “one of the most wackadoodle, weirdest, most unfortunate goals you’ll ever see in a World Cup” #AWCHQ #POLSEN ⚽️
Mind-boggling to see Fox show the wrong times for their own broadcast (it’s 2PM ET, 11AM PT). The schedule is literally the same every day this week! smh #AWCHQ #POLSEN ⚽️
