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 ⚽️
And that’s it for the first game in Group G. It was a good one!. Several highlight-reel worthy plays, and in between mostly earnest, attacking play. Good work, #BEL & #PAN, we needed that. #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️
Here we go with the second half. There’s been some nice attacking so far but there’s been staunch, clever defending, too. Will things crack open more in this second half? (Hint from a slow update typist: YES!) #AWCHQ #BELPAN ⚽️
