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!

Great to see Egypt in the lead! Let's see how long they can hold it for.

Aaargh the matches are coming in too quick and fast, hadn't quite realised there'd be more than three a day! Very hard to keep up.

Nice to see Ivory Coast get that win! Gives them a good chance of finishing second in this group.

Well well well! Qatar had chances throughout the game so it was always a possibility that one would go in. Quite the surprise given before the match I thought Switzerland could put 4 or 5 past them! This group could turn out to be very close.

It's certainly not completely one-sided so far! Qatar have had a few chances, just not been able to convert them.

Looking online it looks like he played for England at youth level but switched to the USA in 2023. (he was also eligible to play for Nigeria through his parents)

Just realised that Balogun is only eligible to play for the USA because he happened to be born there while his parents were on holiday. Certainly an interesting person to have as your star given everything that's going on in the USA at the moment!

Quite the clear from Kolasinac there!

The thumbnails on the highlights kind-of give it away though! The ITVX highlights don't, so I'll be watching those this time round.

Absolutely, great to see him get his chance to shine on the biggest stage! Also - completely unrelated, but it's just struck me that this match features a team with the same colours as Leeds United playing against a team with an ex-Leeds United manager.

Yep! If I haven't seen them play since 2010 I'll simply assume they haven't changed 😄 (plus if they only let one in against England they could well hold off those three!)

Just watched the highlights now - South Korea looked like they absolutely dominated the match but let a few chances get past them which the Czechs really took advantage of. Could easily have ended as a draw!

And there we go! You can't say that one was without drama
