England vs. Belgium on Thursday will be a great one too. That's a game I have highlighted on my soccer nerd schedule.

They did in that first game against Spain. They will need to be at their best for sure. Uruguay has looked very good so far, but I think it helps Portugal that they had that Euro 2016 success, so they won't be shy on the big stage. Uruguay hasn't had much international success lately.

I think that will be a great game. I can't guess who will win, but it's a must watch.

England, wow. Ok.

I was rooting for Iceland, but Nigeria was really good in the second half. Argentina has a sigh of relief with this result, but they still have to beat Nigeria and that won’t be easy at all.

Take it easy, man. This thread is to talk about & enjoy the WC and the game. Your stuff is starting to sound like a PPP type crusade.

Yes on Russia, really impressive, and unexpected. That’s a bold prediction. I’m thinking Spain wins by 2 or 3, but who knows?

Loved Japan’s effort against Columbia today. I loved the spirit. They had 1-1 and a man advantage and they did not play for the draw. They kept attacking and it paid off.

Haha, no, I wasn’t aware. I’m not on face book. But may they fly on, fly on little wing.

Autumn, for me, is Neil Young’s season. I love a lot of Neil, but the On The Beach record (my personal favorite of his) always gets played a bunch in the fall. i got nothin’ against Skynyrd, but I like Neil Young better. So many great memorable songs. Also, in defense of Les Pauls, they’re a fine guitar. In fact Neil’s favorite electric, “Old Black,” is a ‘53 Les Paul.

Huge win for Mexico! I love it. Good stuff for CONCACAF.

Mexico doing really well so far, up 1-0 at the half. I hope they can hold on, but it will be tough.

1-1! Awesome job by Iceland!

I picked Abbey Road too, but several others are just as good. On a different day I might have voted differently. I celebrate their entire catalogue.

Come on, Iceland, hang in there.

Random prediction: Australia gets a result against France on Saturday, a draw at least.

What a game! Great football!

Did you find a way to watch?

I'm guessing it will be a wide open, exciting game. 2-1 Portugal.

Yes. I'm in Atlanta and I suspect that some games will be here. My daughter will be 15 in 2026, so I hope to take her. I won't mind spending some money on that experience.

Oh crap, you're right! My mind has turned to mush.

Australia for me. They aren't my number one, but they are fun to watch. I like teams that come to play even if they're outmatched. I don't like it when teams bunker in and try for the 0-0 draw or hope maybe some lucky fluke goes in their favor right at the end. That's Dick Jauron type stuff. That's why Iceland was so great to watch 4 years ago. They weren't intimidated by superstars. They went out there and played the game.

kickoff!

I wish I knew.
