Quite fancy Brazil to win it this year. I feel England can do better than normal but we have no chance of winning it.

Well, if we're talking dreamland, I hope Panama or Costa Rica take it all.

Christiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick to help Portugal draw Spain 3-3.
Morocco loses to Iran 1-0 off an own goal in stoppage time.
Uruguay downs Egypt 1-0 with a last-minute goal.
Today has been a great day for football!

It was a great game! I thought Spain had it, then they made a stupid foul that let Ronaldo secure the draw.

Iceland draws Argentina 1-1!!!! Super excited about that one. I can't believe it...
France beat Australia 2-1.
Peru and Denmark are 0-0 in the 57th minute.
Croatia and Nigeria play in 2 hours.
I love the World Cup.
*UPDATE:* Denmark just scored in the 59th minute to go up 1-0.

Mexico defeats Germany 1-0! Very surprising result.
Serbia handles Costa Rica 1-0. Not a surprise.
Switzerland battles Brazil to a 1-1 draw. Another surprise.
Tomorrow's games:
Sweden vs. South Korea
Belgium vs. Panama
Tunisia vs. Engaland

Quietly confident about England this time, they seem to have a happier than usual camp and the squad seems to actually have some tactics this time around.
June 18th, 2018 at 5:53 PM
yes there has already been some big surprises in the world cup as Guardian has posted and pointed out , wow !
But I also fancy England's chances this time around. They are not as highly ranked as in some years and I think expectations are lower
this time around and pressure off a bit..

Sweden, Belgium, and England all win their matches today as expected. England on a stoppage time goal from Harry Kane.
June 19th, 2018 at 10:17 AM
Although England won, i wasnt all that happy with the referring in this game..
They showed at least 2 time where Harry Kane was mugged, in the box and failed to make any call there..
On the other hand it was a nice win there for england near the end of the game there
The should be able to beat Panama in there next game , which would take the pressure off against a strong
belgium side in there final first round match up..
