    I was disappointed in Belgium. I expected better. Well done Iran.

    What. A. Game.

    That was the best game I’ve seen so far. I could have watched that for another two hours

    I think we are all rooting for Cape Verde. I must admit I had never heard of them before the world cup.

    Who else saw the Cape Verde-Uruguay game? It was so awesome, if anyone missed it I recommend the highlights and hope the highlights do justice to what was such a fun, end-to-end game with energy right until the last moment - it was a shame it had to end, I wish they could have had more time! :)

    Brilliant game. So much back-and-forth could genuinely qualify for the last 32 at this rate.

    Tonight we've got:

    6pm (BST) Argentina (@Hope64 and @Alisonjaneg) v Austria (@FloridaDino)

    10pm (BST): France (@wrighty08) v Iraq (@MandyD1967)

    1am (BST): Norway (@andrewkuk) v Senegal (@Geoffers58)

    4am (BST): Jordan (@Mary_Scope and @rulocal) v Algeria (@Gorblimey)

    What are we thinking? Can Argentina carry on their comfortable start to their defence of the World Cup or will Austria's Red Bull-powered press give them trouble on the ball?

    Can France and Norway qualify for the last-32 with a game in hand?

    I think Arne Slot has secretly taken over managing Belgium.

    They're so boring….

    I recorded it overnight, and am watching now. Fab match. 👏

    @Scooby222 enjoy! :)

    Hello :) I think Austria draw because Austria are a running team and running at Argentina should cause problems which is something Algeria did not do

    And I think France win, Senegal draw and Jordan draw

    I have to say I'm so glad I'm able to use a VPN to watch alt broadcasts, I've had to watch 1 on the dreaded BBC & 1 on itvx, the droning whinging pommes that are the broadcasters ruined it, moaning about drinks breaks, the wonderful Mexican waves…even the historic stadium that Mexico played south korea in…mocking its volcano history.

    they 100% were biased towards Korea.

    very poor from these "weak" stations…

    anyhowz ….. I'm still sticking with Columbia to win.
