2022 World Cup Qatar - the football

Fair number of 0-0 draws in the first set of group matches.
That being said in the majority I thought they were more entertaining affairs than the scorelines suggested.

So many teams not wanting to lose the first game, it makes it so much harder to get through, by Sunday night, Argentina and Germany both could be out of the World Cup.

Anyone know how the mighty Wales got on today?

England are getting overrun in the midfield by the USA. They need to bring on Henderson to tighten it up.

A very different performance by England so far nothing really hitting the touch paper

Be alright against Wales, it's on the BBC .

Round 2 could be a problem though, back to ITV .

easy to sum up Englands performance - CRAP

Tell you its the ITV curse they should never be allowed an England Game the stats of England Tournament games when shown on BBC and ITV is so much different

When Harry Mcguire is your best Player on the Night shows you how bad the others performed

I like that Harry Maguire's performance has been compared to that of Sergio Ramos

Notes from Friday.

Wayne Hennessey was the first player to be sent off in the tournament (and only the 3rd goalkeeper ever to be sent off in a World Cup).

Senegal became the first African country to win a match, after all 5 of them had failed to do so in the first round of matches.

The 0-0 between England and USA was the 5th goalless draw so far - getting close to the World Cup record which is 7 in a tournament.
