Wow! That was a fun first half! The TV stat said #MEX has never beaten #GER in their 3 previous #WorldCup meetings, but that Germany has won every opening game for the past 7 tournaments. Where will today’s game go in the history books? #AWCHQ #GERMEX ⚽️
Tag: World Cup
Here we go with the 2nd course of the day! How will defending world champions and title favorites Germany handle an attacking Mexico team that’s looking for a deeper run than their traditional round-of-16 exit? #AWCHQ #GERMEX ⚽️
And that’s it for the 1st game of group E! Continued back & forth attacking play, some exciting moments, even some brief handbags break out. I rule this game: not bad!. Next up, the much-anticipated #GER v. #MEX match! #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️
Enjoying Aly Wagner’s work on the commentator’s mic. As the 1st female voice to cover a major men’s tournament for a U.S. broadcaster, she’s doing: fine! It’s groundbreaking, yet also sounds perfectly normal (of course). #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️
There’s one half of the match played. It’s been fairly one-sided, but with pretty nice, fluid, attacking play from both teams! Wonder what kind of 2nd-half changes either side will make. #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️
Good morning & welcome to day 4! Our appetizer course today is Costa Rica (#CRC) v. Serbia (#SRB). How will our first CONCACAF rival do against the possible dark-horse European team? Here we go! #AWCHQ #CRCSRB ⚽️
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 ⚽️
