Yesterday's games were fairly unremarkable. Well, I suppose Tunisia did better than expected and their loss was rather unlucky, but ultimately, Lukaku and Kane join Ronaldo in the goalscoring race. All three have plenty of opportunities coming up.
Today? Japan overcoming Colombia was definitely a significant surprise, but the early red card means we still haven't seen Colombia at their full strength. Which worries me. Poland - Senegal has left me greatly displeased, a terrible match decided by two ridiculous blunders. Our team was disappointing through and through. The upcoming game against Colombia will be key for both teams' survival, which is bad news as the Colombian team will be extremely dangerous when pushed against the wall. I haven't seen enough ambition and will to fight in most Polish players to expect a win against Colombia.
Watching Russia - Egypt now. A rather fast paced game, but absolutely deprived of any clear chances. Sure could use a few goals in the second half.
Edit: what is even going on

Iran vs. Spain was a hoot. Spain played like a bunch of clowns honestly and the win comes almost undeserved, Iran played really well. Iran vs. Portugal will be tense if they play like they did today.

Three identical scorelines today, yet Iran - Spain was so much more fun to watch than the other two. Great game from start to finish. Iran gained my respect for their insane ambition. If only all teams fought this bravely. The losing goal was a total fluke too!
Portugal and Uruguay were a pain to watch, but they're getting the job done. Saudis and Moroccans sure were trying, but their total inefficiency in the final third doesn't really deserve a place in the knockout phase. (then again, Iran can't score to save their lives either...)
