Very promising start to this game. 80 more minutes like these first 10 would be great, mates! #AWCHQ #DENAUS ⚽️

We start Day 8 in Group C: Christian Ericksen’s #DEN (3 points) vs. Aaron Mooy’s #AUS (0 points). Today’s game, held in the brand new Samara Stadium, will be the first competitive meeting between the Danish Dynamite & the Socceroos! #AWCHQ #DENAUS ⚽️
Oh, is it over? The whistle didn’t wake me up…? Kidding, kidding, #IRNESP wasn’t that bad. But it also wasn’t that great! Today’s official Armadillo Recommendation For Neutral #WorldCup Fans is: Portugal vs. Morocco. Till tomorrow! #AWCHQ ⚽️
So that’s what watching a river pound against a stone for 45 minutes is like. I doubt it’s a spoiler to say that one team have had all the possession (73%) & 5x the shots. But winning this game isn’t out of reach for either side, so far. #AWCHQ #IRNESP ⚽️
Time for today’s last match, finishing up Group B’s second matches in Kazan Arena! Iran with 3 points, though they haven’t scored a goal of their own yet; Spain with just 1, after Ronaldo stole their victory in game 1. Let’s go! #AWCHQ #IRNESP ⚽️
There’s the second game down and not a minute too soon. I like Uruguay generally, & I’ve liked Suarez since his days at Liverpool, but I didn’t find much to like about this drab match. An hour to eat lunch, then back for Iran v Spain! #AWCHQ #IRNESP
Phil Neville via The Guardian: “They just look like a team that loves keeping possession but have no interest in doing anything with it. What they seem to forget is that there’s a set of goals at one end of the pitch that they need to get the ball into.” #AWCHQ #URUKSA ⚽️
And that’s it for the first half of #URUKSA. Pretty chippy, close game so far. Not completely uneventful, but as the Guardian live coverage put it, “not a half of football that will live long in the memory.” What will the 2nd half bring? #AWCHQ ⚽️
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 ⚽️
