    Yay Japan. They really pushed in the second half and made it so fun to watch. Their substitutes are effective and really go for it, it’s great to see

    Japan have gone top of the table in their Group because they had less bookings than the Netherlands.

    I had Sweden and Tunisia down as a bore draw 🤣

    I’m glad there’s been no nil-nil draws so far!!

    Same. Sweden have always been a bit of a dull team for me, so when I saw that fixture on my son's wall chart I told him there'd be no point even watching the highlights of that one. Oops.

    It was a fun game to watch!! I felt sorry for Tunisia by the end

    Wow Sweden did well, I didn’t think this would happen

    Hello, I watched the highlights of Sweden and it was great, they looked like they tried to pass it forwards and quickly a lot which is really great to see. I thought their manager could only play sideways football but maybe he just wasn’t suited to the Premier League. His Sweden team look entertaining :)

    Tonight we have:

    5pm (BST): Spain (@Scooby222 and @ripple) v Cape Verde (@SlowMode)

    8pm (BST): Belgium (@Richard_Scope) v Egypt (@Rosie_Scope)

    11pm (BST): Saudi Arabia (@oldmanmarple) v Uruguay (@tel)

    2am (BST): Iran (@machy54321 and @jools66) v New Zealand (@nollie and @hmolloy)

    I'm going to go for a 5-0 Spain win, a 2-1 Belgium victory, 2-0 win for Uruguay and a 1-0 for Iran over New Zealand.

    Any predictions? Will you be watching?

    Definitely not googling "Is Belgium a good football team?" right now…

    Bring it on @Richard_Scope!

    I'm torn. I don't want to hammer Egypt and upset Mo Salah. But sacrifices must be made for greatness @Rosie_Scope 😆

    I have to confess that Spain have never been my favourite team to watch. I didn't like the endless pitty patty football they used to play, and the players always seemed to fall over and writhe in agony if someone looked at them in a funny way….

    But I'm prepared to watch them today because I've drawn them in this Sweepstake. So you may be about to convert me to being a Spain supporter, who knows! I'd laugh a lot if Cape Verde win though! (Very unlikely I know!)

    Shout out to @ripple as my fellow Spain sweepstake person, go 🇪🇸 (or Cape Verde!) 🌞 ⚽️ 😎

    I have only just switched on the Spain game as I had an unexpected visitor ( not a football fan).

    I am surprised Spain have not scored yet. Cape Verde have a good goal keeper.
