I can't understand how anyone who watched the match yesterday can give South Korea any chance against Germany. The players are not technically sound and have rather low football IQ, which leads to South Korea blowing every single chance they have when they get them, unless it's Ki or Son. I just don't see how can they score to keep level with Germany, who I assume will at least score one or two goals.

Germany is already in the next phase. There is absolutely no way they don't get the 3 points against Korea.

England is killing Panama... 5 0 halftime.... Lingaard scored a beauty. I don't know why the panamesians (??)are complaining since the first minute of the game

They're overmatched, getting embarrassed, and in all of my years the South American teams are always the kinds of teams who love to be physical with you but the minute you hit them back or the ref calls them for it, they wilt.
They also flop like fish in a wet market.

Poland just passing it back and forth amongst their defenders. Ball not going forwards.

Boring football.

Spain should not have fired their coach.

They look a shadow of the team they were a few months ago.

and yet they won their group.  And perhaps their coach shouldn't have been a baby and tried to hide his negotiations rather than being up front about them.

The Spanish FA sets a condition that the NT coach will work exclusively for the NT.

I think it was an unnecessary distraction they should have avoided but I doubt they'd be much better.

Morocco is one fine team. I enjoyed watching then play.

Is there a particular reason that Nigeria Argentina and Iceland Croatia games are on at the same time tomorrow? Is it because of the obvious implications one game has on the other?

That's it!

Imagine the two teams playing earlier and the other pair can see if they need to put the best squad out on the pitch or not.

WHOA

Nigeria penalty kick and they score! 1-1.

If results in both games stand for final 35-40 minutes, ARG is knocked out in group stages  :o

Argentina are so lucky to get through this group.

I feel sorry for Nigeria. I would've liked them to go through.

Do you think they missed that Marcos Rojo handball call?

Honestly, that wasn't a deliberate handball, which is the key there.
