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 ⚽️

Good morning & welcome to DaY 5! Our warmup game today is a Sweden team playing without Zlatan, facing off against a Korea Republic team, also playing without Zlatan. Though to be honest he might have played for either of them, if they’d asked. #AWCHQ #SWEKOR ⚽️

Belatedly, that’s it for Day 4! #BRA v #SUI was a pretty good game, with some star-power & highlight moments. But my pick for the day, if you haven’t watched it yet, is #GER v #MEX, which had about everything you could want. #AWCHQ #BRASUI ⚽️

Next up is Brazil’s opening match, taking on Switzerland! I’m looking forward to that one, but with travel on my schedule I’ll be watching it from the DVR an hour or two behind. #AWCHQ #BRASUI ⚽️

Wow x2! What a great game! With constant attacking and counter-attacking, it was a gripping watch from first kick to final whistle. So far, for star-power and flair I give it the edge for today’s games! #AWCHQ #GERMEX ⚽️
