I think we don't have one of these yet?

One day remaining, boys! And we are off to a great start as Spain just fired their head coach.

This is the first time they are taking advantage of VIDEOs.

I'm guessing Lopetegui would have preferred to wait with that announcement after the WC and Real Madrid basically screwed him over, and La Roja while they were at it.

Don't get why a lot of people are blaming it on the Royal Spanish Football Federation. 

Anyway, Portugal - Spain should be an interesting game tonight  Also interested in Egypt - Uruguay this afternoon, hoping Salah can play.

Portugal - Spain was entertaining. Can't wait for Argentina - Iceland, i need that volcano!

Argentina - Iceland: 1-1. The Northeners are at it again!  Got my Germany jersey on and look forward to today's match against Mexico.

[FrieChamp 1,467]

Congrats, Mexico! Deserved victory.

Crazy games!

VAR ref ball?

Crazy fun fact: so far 5 out of the top 6 ranking teams haven't been able to win their opening game. Fingers crossed for tonight

Japan just beat Colombia. Why do I even try to predict results any longer...

Interesting tournament so far. I think Belgium can win the trophy. They have the best players and a working team while most of the favorites had a disappointing start.

But scripting is pretty obvious.

I mean: Italy and Netherlands missing. Russia always wins. Germany dropping out in group stage. Ronaldo being even more overpowered than in FIFA 18. Come on, this is ridiculous!

[Tisky 459]

Yeah Belgium looks good!

Also, Senegal was impressive

Gotta see how Belgium performs against a better team though, looking forward to the game against England.

Little doubt on my mind that Brazil, Germany and the like will get their shit together in their next matches after they got a wake-up call (better to have that early than late).

I'm liking this VAR thing more and more

Same. It's still not perfect, which is understandable, but it's a great addition overall. 

To be honest, I didn't expect the referee to overturn his earlier decision of granting Brazil a penalty in the game against Costa Rica for example.
