    It’s really difficult to score against Bosnia, they defend very well. I thought the wingers of Canada should have tried running forwards more with the football and try to beat the full-back but I guess it’s not easy

    Really looking forward to the USA-Paraguay game :)

    Bosnia were very organised. Canada seemed a little frantic in possession, but a draw seemed a fair result in the end.

    Didn’t stay up for US (@Shar17on) v Paraguay (@kieran04) myself, but I heard the US looked pretty good for once. Did you enjoy the game @yellowpineapple84?

    It was a really fun game, America played with vibrancy. I hope England can play like this, lots of forward passes and running in behind

    Awesome. Might watch them when they play next, then! Against Costa Rica, England were pretty creative and interesting, so hopefully they can reproduce that against Croatia, etc.

    Tonight/tomorrow morning we have:

    8pm: Qatar (@annewilko) v Switzerland (@Mr_Shoes_Tied and @gothchick56)

    11pm: Brazil (@kreacher) v Morocco (@Anhedonia2 and @Tazzi)

    2am: Haiti (@chiarieds) v Scotland (@Melisameli and @Holly_Scope)

    5am: Australia (@Elaine1961) v Turkey (@allycat17 and @slimjohn)

    I reckon we'll see comfortable wins for Switzerland and Scotland. A win for Brazil and perhaps a hard-fought draw between Australia and Turkey. Can't wait to look at my predictions tomorrow and wonder what the heck I was thinking!

    Will anyone else be watching? Do you have any predictions?

    Switzerland score from penalty. What was the Qatar goal keeper thinking with that tackle.

    He certainly took a whack for his troubles! I thought he was seriously hurt after that.

    I don't understand the loud music and why the goalie was just waiting to re-start after the drink break?

    Switzerland are looking good, so my team might win their first match

    I think:

    Qatar < Switzerland

    Brazil > Morocco

    Haiti = Scotland (but I'd like Scotland to win)

    Australia < Turkey

    Switzerland have been the better team (I can’t believe it’s still 1-0!!) but I wish they weren’t playing in grey and lime green on a bright green pitch 🤕

    Qatar have scored, Switzerland paid the price for being too casual.

    Final score 1-1

    Well done Qatar.
