    It did. I think that was a fair ending.

    My predictions are rubbish I thought Switzerland and Brazil would win and they both drew.

    Much as I would like to watch Scotland I am too tired now.

    Such a shame for Haiti, they went forward a lot more than Scotland and showed more willingness to try and win the game. Think Scotland very fortunate to get away with a win in this game

    Morocco looked good early on but I fully fell asleep at around the 60 minute mark and slept through the rest of the game. Doesn’t look like I missed anything significant!


    Scotland’s win was scrappy and a bit lucky but I’m sure they’ll be happy. On a different day it could easily have been a stumbling block for them.

    Australia were pretty good against Turkey. I figured they’d be pretty stodgy but they weren’t anywhere near as bad to watch as I’d expected.

    Quite excited for the matches being played at reasonable times today. I always enjoy watching Japan as well who are more than capable of springing a surprise, so I’ll be tuning in for that.

    Hello, Japan are really fun to watch I’m looking forward to this too :)

    I've missed all the matches yesterday and early morning today due to a stonking migraine, so have been a total lightweight! Usually I watch all the group stage matches in a WC, so letting the side down badly here. 🙄 must do better in next few days!

    I'm going to watch the Germany vs Curaçao game soon, I have no idea what to expect from that. I will be controversial and predict Germany lose. My brain must still be addled from the migraine....

    I predict a draw for Germany vs Curacao no idea really.

    I think Germany will win, Japan will draw, Ivory Coast will draw and Sweden win

    I am sorry I have Sweden, feel very unfortunate to have got this team from the draw. A manager who plays sideways football, so boring. Hope Tunisia win

    They did just equalise so you might be right! Gotta love an underdog.
