Game time again! On to the last game of the first round: Robert Lewandoski’s Poland as the seeded team (thanks to their gaming of FIFA’s rankings), facing Sadio Mané’s Senegal in just their second ever World Cup final! #AWCHQ #POLSEN ⚽️
And that’s a wrap for #COLJPN. I felt this game was: not bad! It had a crazy start, the first red of the tournament, & some dramatic highlight-worthy moments, with not bad soccer throughout. #AWCHQ ⚽️
Well, that was an eventful first half in #COLJPN. Hoping for the energetic contest to continue in the second 45! But maybe with more excitement coming from players and less from the refs. #AWCHQ ⚽️
Holy Falcao. I’m over here blearily writing dumb joke posts and a huge play happens in the third minute! Just, wow. Be on time to your soccer games, folks. This. changes. everything. #AWCHQ #COLJPN ⚽️
Correction! #COL’s Los Cafeteros are The Coffee Growers, not The Cafeteria-Workers. Also, #JPN is known as Samurai Blue, not Samurais Playing the Blues.
We apologize for the fault in the nicknames; those responsible have been sacked. #AWCHQ #COLJPN ⚽️
Good morning & welcome to Day 6 of #WorldCup 2018! Today we finish the 1st round with Group H, then start over with Group A in the 3rd match. First up, in Saransk: #COL take on #JPN in the group stage for the second World Cup in a row. Let’s go! #AWCHQ #COLJPN ⚽️
That’s it for the first rounds of Groups F & G! That #TUN v #ENG game, while not entirely uneventful, really faded into forgettableness for me. But if you’re watching just one of today’s games, my suggestion is: Belgium vs. Panama. Until tomorrow! #AWCHQ
Well, that first half started strong but turned out to be kind of a mixed bag. Eventful, but the early high tempo wasn’t maintained. Halftime done, let’s see what else is in store for the last 45 of Day 5! #AWCHQ #TUNENG ⚽️
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 ⚽️
