Curaçao v. Ecuador, great game. Also, great weather, full stadium (Mostly yellow), the Dutch King & Queen, because Curaçao is a constituent country in the Netherlands...What's not to like? Oh, and the goalie!

Watching Sweden-Netherlands highlights and…were they playing a techno remix of Auld Lang Syne after goals? Can that possibly be right?

I wouldn't say the Netherlands were "exposed" or whatever (against a talented and well run Japan) but they look more like contenders to me than favorites

Saudi Arabia, firm in defense and tender in attack

Saudi Arabia's World Cup isn't really part of the United States, Mexico and Canada edition. The Asian side will host in 2034 and aims to grow as much as possible to put in a strong showing at home. But along the way it wants to take steps toward that reality, and with players and a league that have advanced considerably in their professionalization it does not rule out achieving significant feats, such as the surprising victory over Argentina in Qatar four years ago, one of the greatest milestones in its history alongside reaching the knockout rounds achieved precisely in the 1994 World Cup, also held on American soil. After drawing with Uruguay under Bielsa and Valverde in the opening match, the Falcons face Spain this Sunday with the aim of again surprising the world. The Spain team of Luis de la Fuente, needing good feelings and points after the unexpected draw in the debut against Cabo Verde, will meet in Atlanta.

Deniz Undav’s double earns Germany dramatic late win against Côte d’Ivoire

Some footballing stereotypes just will not fade away. Germany may no longer be the mirthless, methodical winning machine who would slowly maul their opponents until they inevitably engineered victory, but, evidently, they still know how to fashion match-winners from final moments. Consequently, the Germans will play in the World Cup knockout stages for the first time in 12 years after another victory at the death. Côte d’Ivoire had gone ahead in a lively encounter on Saturday through Franck Kessié’s 30th-minute goal for Les Éléphants . But it was cancelled out by Deniz Undav’s 68th-minute equaliser and 94th-minute winner for Die Mannschaft . Continue reading. . .
