Great game by them and Croatia. Congrats to England for pulling it off

Thank you, it was a fun one. Lots of offense.

England look very dangerous going forward. Slightly vulnerable at back. I'm still not sure Kane dropping back so much is the way to go.

Agreed, that will wear him down. Hopefully others at the back step up.

I hope it works out that England can play Argentina at some point in the knockouts. We've seen absolute classics between those two.

I was impressed by England against a good team. My opinion of them went up. Not so much Argentina. They're always good to some degree, but a win against that opponent changes my opinion of them in no way shape or form. Just like my opinion of Spain didn't change. They could have won that game 7 to nil. Just a lot of bad luck. Based on that draw, and how the game was played, Cape Verde is not a contender, Spain is.

Like I said before, I don't root for anyone but the USA. But I think if that was the final I'd root for England since they haven't won one in a long time.

And I think this is one of the best squads England has had in many years.

This match between Canada and Qatar was over at halftime. In the past, I don't remember teams still pressing for more goals once it's pretty much over. They usually just kicked it around and wasted time.

Can someone tell me why the guy on Paraguay got a red card?

Can someone tell me why the guy on Paraguay got a red card?

He covered his mouth while confronting someone from Turkey. It's considered a foul because it became an issue where people claimed to be saying bad things and covering their mouths IRRC. It's a new rule for this world cup.
