5-0 Senegal! Another stunning strike.

Senegal 3-0 up! Looks like Iraq had to change their goalie at half-time which can't have helped.

Yeah I think it's one of a series of glitches that seem to have appeared recently, along with formerly starred-out songs having a 'last week' of -1, and Despacito now showing as two separate chart entries from before and after Bieber was credited.

I guess for Norway - they know that if they finish second they'll play Ivory Coast, and if they're happy enough to get them in the knockouts then maybe it makes sense to not play the main team!

Having a look at the stats - Senegal really need a 3-goal difference and then hope for some favours from the other groups to give themselves the best shot of making it through. A red card for Iraq already though!

1-0 Senegal - that didn't take long!

Aaand I'm already confused by the fact that Senegal are wearing white and Iraq are wearing green!

I'll be watching Senegal vs Iraq - feels like there's more on the line for both!

Well everyone did say that Turkey could beat the USA - it's just that no-one expected them to lose their first two matches before getting there!

2-0 Bosnia! I'm definitely watching the right match

Canada and Switzerland are more than likely guaranteed Top 2 (not mathematically confirmed but it'd require a lot of coincidences and goals to avoid it) so all to play for for both teams on who will win! A win for either Bosnia or Qatar would more than likely be enough to give them 'best third place' status.

Two games in then, and just four countries yet to get their first goal - Haiti, Turkey, Ecuador and Panama.

Oh nice to see Is This Real on the playlist, didn't realise that was getting traction outside of BJSC!

Reading through this thread as I happened to google Silento, found out that he's currently serving a 30 year prison sentence and this is the only thread that mentions it. And looking through it seems like 75% of these posts are rappers getting arrested (or killed), which is a shame

Things are not looking good for Senegal now - it was always going to be difficult for them in this group but even with a win against Iraq they'll still be on the edge of the third place rankings.

Interesting - I'll reserve judgement until I give it a watch and see what the quality is like!

The Ecuador game certainly showed that Curaçao aren't complete pushovers at this contest - the Ivory Coast game isn't a foregone conclusion.

Given how low down the rankings Haiti are, losing 1-0 and 3-0 isn't bad at all - but it does look like they might be one of the few teams going home without a goal at this rate.

Goal on second attempt!

Go on Congo! I was worried after seeing the first few minutes that it would be a goal-fest for Portugal but really happy that wasn't the case.

Clicked on the Official Charts website today - I've not been keeping track of what's been released so seeing this headline made me think the OCC were just fed up of Olivia!

Just watched the highlights of Austria v Jordan - certainly a lot of drama there! Glad that Jordan did get one goal as they had a few good opportunities.

Great result for Cape Verde - I feared for them after the Germany/Curacao match but they held their own!
