Great, deserved win for Japan v Colombia! This World Cup is throwing up a few surprises already, especially with Germany losing their opening game, and Argentina and Brazil being held against lesser teams.
In the goal of Switzerland happened a fault and the referee didn't want use the VAR as well happened one penalty in Gabriel Jesus
I'll check it out. England were denied two clear penalties last night which would have been given had VAR been requested by the ref. Seems it's not being used consistently.
Edit: Russia V Egypt - Just saw Mo Salah being brought down in the box (and the ref hesitated to use VAR and only gave in after the Egyptian players protested. The penalty was awarded and taken beautifully to make the score 3-1. I do wonder what would have happened had the scores been level!
You were obviously watching a different game to me! It was exceptionally one sided, the score could easily have been 6-0. The thing is the best team doesn't always win but if you dominate play you are much more likely to win, the Belgians will dominate most teams. Stop and think for a moment about some of the players the Belgian team currently has:-
Tibaut Courtois (goalkeeper)
Jan Vertonghen
Vincent Kompany
Thomas Vermaelen
Kevin De Bruyne
Romelu Lukaku
Dries Mertens
Eden Hazard
If you know anything about football you will know that is an impressive array of talent in one team.
Yes I agree! Belgium is strong favorite to win this world cup! They have a impressive talented generation in all positions, that is only common for big schools of soccer as Brazil, Germany or Argentina.
Russia looking fantastic so far! Outscoring Saudi Arabia and Egypt 8-1, with the lone goal being a penalty. This is insane! I know those aren't the strongest teams, but goodness, Russia has totally dominated so far. I think this Russian side has real potential, Uruguay will be our first test against a true good team

They'll meet either Spain or Portugal in the last sixteen! They've been impressive but if they can get past either of those, I think they could possibly make the final!
Wouldn't it be awesome if Iceland won the World Cup in only their first appearance? That would definitely turn heads...
