No luck finding English-language coverage on the car radio (a pipe-dream idea all along I’m sure); arrived at destination in time to see final stoppage. So who knows how good it was, because I don’t! Well, 40 minutes to Croatia-Nigeria! #AWCHQ #PERDEN ⚽️

Tragically I’ll be on the road for at least part of Peru vs. Denmark and unable to watch all of it! Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers for our family in this troubling time of great loss. #AWCHQ #PERDEN ⚽️
And there’s the 2nd of 4 today in the record books. I consider this one: not bad! I didn’t find it quite as entertaining as France-Australia earlier, but I also had to call my bank about a stolen credit card so that was distracting! #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
Messi will get some headlines from that one! (Probably true no matter what happens, huh?) #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
Very helpful translation, thanks Wikipedia!

Half number two of game number two on day number three! Argentines vs. Icelanders, Messi vs. Ronaldo (somehow, it’s always that), viking claps vs. la albiceleste! #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
“It’s game on here at Spartak Stadium!” #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
Time for game 2! Here comes another giant of the international game with legendary results as well as fans. And that team will face off against Argentina, a scrappy underdog who are lucky to even be on this stage. Let’s go! #AWCHQ #ARGISL ⚽️
And that’s the first game of Group C done! I deem this game: pretty good! Whether it will be the single best one of a whopping four today remains to be seen, but with good fans, good play, drama, & excitement, it’s not a bad reward for being up at 5AM!
Not to be overshadowed by the technological upstart VAR, here’s goal-line technology making an appearance as well! We take it for granted nowadays, but it’s not hard to imagine that goal not being called by refs on the field. #AWCHQ #FRAAUS ⚽️
