Same, wasn't really expecting being this entertaining and I'm really enjoying how balanced all the matches are, not only in the final scores, feels like watching the Premier League lol

Any favorites yet?

I only follow la liga (mostly just Barcelona) so Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and Croatia were the initial teams I was paying the most attention to. I couldn’t believe Mexico and Iceland! I think the Mexico game has been my favorite so far.

That Spain - Portugal was dope af! Dunno what happened to Germany and Argentina, also Brazil, but I hope this forces them to play better in the next 2 rounds. Wasn't this excited for a World Cup since 1998 when I was a kid lol

Well, Mr Tijuana you must really be enjoying it :cool:

I went to a Mexican Hooters (Ojos Locos) and it was PACKED on Sunday. The inside was packed to capacity and tons of people were in the parking lot. The Mexican team have got off to a great start …

Regards …

We always lose at the next round anyways, but had a great time watching it, all of them!

Also, them Nordics are doing fucking great, didn't expect Iceland to be THAT good.

Can't wait to see my man Mohamed Salah finally play for Egypt. Gonna be watching Egypt and Mexico until they're knocked out (unless Salah fulfills his destiny and scores with every touch of the ball).

Been exciting so far, some pretty good matches.

Latin America, except for Mexico, is bombing this year. Only one win with a bunch of losses. We'll see if the situation improves; I doubt it.

Yeah Iceland and Mexico were both shocking. Watching France/Australia now. Can’t believe how even it is. Really seems like a year of close games that you’d expect to be blowouts.

Iceland established themselves at the 2016 Euro's as a legitimately great team who should be expected as a threat against just about anyone.

Glad England managed to at least beat Tunisia, Carthago delenda est etc. If we make it to even the quarter finals I'll be surprised, then move on to hoping the Germanic brethren do it again.

Salah effectively kept quiet by Russia, aside from the penalty. Looking forward to Portugal and Morocco tomorrow.
