Even though Portugal had a great start, taking the lead within 5 minutes of kick off, the rest of the match was too slow. CR7 did not impress anyone and I truly think that Portugal should play without him and just bring him from the bench for 20-30 quality minutes. Congo scored at the end of the first half and added their first point in a World Cup.

Later, we watched one of the contender to the title, England, beating Croatia 3-2. The Three Lions were fast as soon as they recovered the ball. Kane was all over the place, from scoring two goals to defending as a "5" and initiating the play.

During the night Ghana beat Panama thanks to a late goal and Colombia added 3 points after beating Uzbekistan 3-1.

We have finished the first round in all groups and Group A and B starts tonight the second round in the group phase. First of all, Czech Republic will play against South Africa, then Switzerland vs Bosnia will follow. Canada will seek their first victory against Qatar in Vancouver. Mexico and South Korea will fight for the top spot in Group A.

Enjoy!
