Underway - but look at who the referee is 😱
Switzerland 0-0 Cameroon
Facundo Tello is our referee today.
He's the man who showed 10 red cards in the Champions Trophy final in Argentina earlier this month.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's annoying for people there, but don't think they can complain about that law, other than they could have let people know a bit sooner. But, that's probably the smallest of the "customs" people are complaining about.
Will any African country make it through to the last 16 ? I don't think so. Totally unimpressed with those I've seen so far. Cameroon's players had individual skill but didn't play as a team, passes went astray more often than not and they totally failed to support players in attack or indeed create anything at all in fact. Switzerland should have scored more.
Ghana haven't played yet but if any are going to make it through then Tunisia or Morocco have the best chance it seems, and definitely no African winner with more than likely none in the quarters.

I didn't mate - I was in Ibaraki at the time - Kashima Antlers was a host ground and it's where Croatia made their base. It was ace. All the local Japanese adopted Croatia as their second team. It was brilliant seeing everyone (fans and locals alike) all mingling together and having a great time all wearing Croatia shirts. The Croatian fans were utterly astonished by the hosts genuine hospitality and genki nature. Truthfully that summer was right up there with the best ever. I wish I could have made it to Hokkaido. I did visit the ice festival in Sapporo a year or so later which was stunning. I miss Japan lots 😎
Can't disagree with that
Senegal losing Mané pretty much killed their chances.
Me too. I'm thinking of visiting Hokkaido hopefully next year. Been to most parts of Japan except Hokkaido and Okinawa - two places i'd like to visit soon.
Poor Trent
Torn between who to root for.
I'd love to see another upset like what the Japanese did. But Uruguay has crazy Nunez. Hmmm

It's been a few years since I watched it and couldn't be arsed to Google it.
The Koreans looking the more dangerous team.
He's not playing though, and he needs rest.
In the few clips I've seen he seems to be hanging around Bellingham a lot. Thats good that he's getting to know his new teammate. 🙂
Due to my job I go to both every year. Went to Okinawa this summer and will be going to Hokkaido in Feb next year. Both exceptional places and highly recommended!
If you're going to Okinawa, might be worth considering one of the smaller Islands like Ishigaki and Miyako. Depends what you're after.
I think it's safe to say that Uruguay will not win this WC.
Not me, at least as far as the world cup is concerned. I haven't watched a second of it and won't. Not interested.
