I am kinda glad our team is not in this one. I could watch games in peace this time and not get my nerves wrecked by utter bullshit our team pulls on WCs.

Damn, half of the tight fixtures falling at a really odd time in IST. I need to get used to wake up between 3.30 to 6 AM.

Iran can enter in USA in match day, needs leave in 24h. They should have base and training camp in Arizona, now its in Mexico.
I think unfair , I understand fans or vip people ban, but team. No way, boycoy. Proves Fifa is corupted and i have seen real football in 1998 WC but sorry this , well ...i dont agree

Because it was anouced in normal days, and Guanni Infantino just agree whit DT. So far only one player was not let in, but fans. 90 % will be there ,but rich people ,pool like you n me will warch it on the box.

Like I told it was announced before DT was electederected, but still in some way I would like see replace Iran by Italy, but then it proves what joke is FIFA
So far 2 player and one in Canada not USA and referee plus Irans stuff was denied, not sure how many fans (menaing globe wide not specific nation) was denieded , but Iran has one time visas, they have camp in mexico, question is after first game they go to camp, and can they enter to next game, since they have visas for one enter?

Summary

Mexico 2-0 SA
Nothing special just Mexico won first time opening game for them, but its logic due at home and 2 reds for SA was unfair , can eb soem interest conflict due referee?

S Korea 2-1 Cz
People still dont understand Asian football and their best teams as SK and Japan are damn good.

Canada 1-1 Bosnia
I was hoping Canada goes to play off but remember what team send Italy to beatches and watch this party on TV

USA 4-1 Paraguay
Best starter from home nations in game level, quality and result, USA can aim high

Qatar 1-1 Suisse
Arans play well damn good football, our best Euro teams might suffer against as well since its not our home continent

Brazil 1-1 Morroco
Yes Morocans did well few WC in row, improves even get WC (what ONLY ARGENTINA; IRUGUAY should have) , but if Brazil want to win WC they should won this game and seems statistic says non team whit foreigner coach has not won, from TOP favorites only Brazil and England has it

Haiti - Scotland
Result yes but game quality no, I hope they will improve later

Australia 2-0 Turkey
I dont like Turkey, do mad ottoman ruller

48 teams after a season full of matches with players drained of energy, entry bans because the orange lunatic says so, a half-time show in the final because the host country that has no idea about football is used to watching that shit and considers it normal, tickets costing as much as a kidney, etc. etc.

And then you have the bald corporate whore advising to chill, relax.

Poor football, what have they done to you.

I like ms staff they talks open about politicians and idiots in high places
I agree , but then again I dont think same tormanet is so bad whit 48 teams , and organisation is not so bad, but all around from WH and baldy side what makes most fuck up

Same time I dont get why people say surprise that Australia won Turkey, its good team, plas well, proven in Ausia and so on, Turkey well yes good team, but still I think its not big surprise same Brazilian result since where they are last 10 years

Both Turkey and Morocco have good players; I was surprised that Australia won but not surprised that Brazil didn't. I expect that the teams with players that have played fewer games during the season will do better in the competition. I didn't watch either game though, and I don't think I will watch any match this time around. Maybe highlights of the later stages.

Wellcome to the age

Africa has good players as indi9vids, Asian teams has better quality as team and in last few years after Fenerbache, Besiktas, Galatasaray dont play well in UEFA non talks about Turkish football, because İstanbul Başakşehir dominated and its mad ottoman team and I dont like that guy, he must go , pension life is great. ok and last time they were in WC was in 2002 they get 3th place and since then they was not, last time eliminated by Portugal in play offs , Euro is better for them missed 2012, since then take part and last time was it Dutch who kicked out them in 1/4'

Like 10 years ago I did work 10 years night and it took 5 years to me change a regime from night to day, If I start 7:00 I go sleep at 19:00 or 20:00 , if I start 12:00 or 16:00 , I go to sleep maybe 21:30 , summer later since I like midnight sun, otherwise I am to dead after 19:00 cant do much, so no live football to me.

After all this, man, I'm still enjoying FIFA World cup because I love football(not fucking soccer). Yesterday, Japan bewildered Netherlands in a late equalizer what could have been one of the best matches of the world cup so far.

Cool, one day or stage games ended draw
Spain 0-0 Cape Verde
Game was well not stress but even in end like spain pressed, it wa snot like , more around perimeter game, CV had chances, but they just wanted more get ball away, IMO if they had better such experience all could happen.

Belgium 1-1 Egypt
Many experts said Egypt dont impress them, I say Belgium has good players as individs, but as team, always favs, but never will win , even Dutch are eternal loosers, they have bigger chance win as Belgium

Saudi 1-1 Uruguay
'Well still Uruguay has chances and as European to me Saidi, I dont like it, dont care, Uruguay are closer to heart , so I was hpoing

Iran 2-2 NZ
Sad NZ did not won game, but I remember onec Iran played 1-1 aganst Argentina wa sit in Brazil, they had good team, unknown team due stupid ayatolyas , they can be higher if after regime leuage will work fine and players can perform free


Next day
France 3-1 Senegal, I wa shoping to draw. I always had said Africans has better players as individuals, but never worked well as team, Asian players are weaker, lower ranked, as team they works better

Iraq 1-4 Norway
GOOD

Argentina 3-1 Algeria
Lionell get hat trick and now he shared 16 goals whit Miroslav Klose and another painfull thing for Brazilians, Ronaldo has 15 goals and KLose get 16th in Brazil, now arch enemy player has same and record can be broken this year. I hope so!

Austria 3-1 Jordan
Good job Austrians, so far so good.

Btw from all ppening games in EC,WC Spain won first one only in 2010.

Portugal 1 - 1 Congo
Portugal did contril perimeter, edges, make good moves to goal area, but Congo defense could handle it and keep first safe reorganise ,equalized and did do good defense
Ronaldo is oldest Portugals player ever played in WC.

Well non teams impressed me ,if I need pick semi finalist from games Mexico, USA and Argentina

Yeah, I am just tired of it all. Do not have too much time anyway in the evenings and I prefer to catch up with some motorsport.

I really thought some football would cheer me up, see some good game in WC but nah. I tried like 10-20 minutes to catch some games but nah just got bored or fell asleep.

What was so sad about Zealand?

Since the start, Iran relied heavily on tactical football while wingers vehemently feeding wingers to put in the net. The reason Iran couldn't get away with a win was due to crappy defensive line and NZ failed to capitalize those golden chances. Too much relying on Elijah caged by Iran midfielders lately also put NZ defensively.

It was a clinical win for Iran.

Haiti amd Turkey is eliminated.
Days when Europe drove over other continenrs are over , Asian, Africam teams can do well, Cemtral American gettong better. Cz or Hungary and such level teams might win Italy or England, but NZ, Honduras, Kongo might win them. They play in Europe and good leuges, so to me it is not a suprise.

Asian and African teams have been doing fairly well at the global level if you're tracking their progress. What astounds me more is the energy that putting in the skillsets. Europe is miles ahead in terms of tactical football - no comparisons. England looking strong this time, hope they don’t bottle it in the groups like usual.
