Good luck everyone!

Oops, Mexico have just scored!
I am watching, but am actually having difficulty seeing the green Mexico **** against the grass, and also seeing where the ball is. That does not make it easy to follow the action.
Luckily I am having my eyes tested tomorrow, I think I definitely need new specs!

**** = the clothing of Mexico team

They do seem to be blending in a little. Maybe South Africa are having a similar issue spotting them on the pitch given how things are going!

Mexico doing well two goals now. Could do with the pitch being a bit less green.
3 Red cards in first world cup game. South Africa down to 9 men and Mexico 10 men.
Final score Mexico 2 South Africa 0

It looked quite easy for Mexico tonight, even before the red cards. I liked the Mexico shirt, the colour and design is cool I think :)

Did anyone actually stay up for the second match? I was a lightweight and went to bed. 😊

No I did not stay up either @Scooby222 😴

I've decided to record the overnight matches and watch them when I want to during the day. I just have to avoid all news if I don't want to know the score.

So who is watching Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina at the moment? (I avoided the opening ceremony first though!)

I’m watching the game right now :)

I didn’t stay up either, although there will be matches later on that I’m sure I’ll stay up for.
Recording them is a great idea @Scooby222, did you watch South Korea vs Czech Republic in the end? I heard it was a pretty interesting.
Canada (@JoeGro) vs Bosnia and Herzegovina (@LilMissOops and @Smartbutcasual80) tonight, kicked off about 10 minutes ago.
I’m watching too @yellowpineapple84 & @Scooby222 - which do you think will win?0 -
Was hoping Edin Dzeko would be in Bosnia’s starting line up - just remembered this story about him from Bob Mortimer

Honestly I love football, even if you're not a fan of the sport seeing the crowds' reaction 😍
Didn't think Bosnia would lead at any point but good for them!
1 -
We’re winning??? Am I able to cash out my sweepstake pick now while I’m ahead? 🤣

I'm rooting for Bosnia @LilMissOops!
I'd normally be for Canada and I'm enjoying the sea of red in the stands but Bosnia have won my heart already!
Canada's final touches seem a bit poor this evening, they seem to get a bit panicked when they get up there.
1 -
Haha. Win the group and we’ll talk! 😉

Yeah, they’re snatching at their chances a bit. Was going to say before Bosnia scored that it felt like a Canadian goal was inevitable and it still does but they need to calm down a bit in the final third.
