Argentina v Saudi Arabia 10am (2-0) Easy for Messi and co Mexico v Poland 4pm (2-1) Mexico might go well in this group. Poland are on a serious downturn. Denmark v Tunisia 1pm (4-0) Denmark might be the most underrated side in Qatar. France v Aussies 7pm (3-0) Aussies are worse than Saudi Arabia.

Loving this WC already. 4 games a day, no stupid late night or early morning KO's. If it had gone to Australia we'd all be bleary eyed by now. All hail FIFA
Now we've won our first match will Captain Kane wear the 'One Love' armband in the 2nd and/or 3rd matches ? Maybe even come out for the 2nd half wearing it and see how long it takes for anyone to notice.
I'd say it has more to do with technique .. most of the previous 'Golden Generation' had 'good engines' ... but were limited in more subtle artistry... not since Gascoigne have we had a player able to receive the ball in a tight space and then have the technique to not only hold on to it, but go past players whilst still in control of the ball ... we now have several in this current squad...
