Germany step up a gear after the "Hydration Break" and head in at HT 3-1 up. Not a fan of these breaks, totally breaks any momentum teams have and gives the coaches chance to change things - just have loads of water bottles at the side of the pitch for all the players.

Not sure this has been mentioned, why are 95% of the players playing in Pink boots?

I really find pink, orange, yellow, light green football boots just wrong. Always have and always will.
I saw some monstrosity Havertz was wearing yesterday. Either the brand is trying to push a particular boot or some Opta dickhead has decided they help other players pick them out.
 
one nil to the all whites
top of the group as it stands
long way to go
Watching the match on TV in Vancouver, what a great start, allows me to check out the NZ players ahead of next Sunday's Egypt match here that we will be attending. Yes, never over until that fat lady sings.

Bloody 3 min hydration break,that nobody really needs as the weather conditions are apparently perfect in LA.

Read an article that indicated that a good number of goals are being scored right after these silly enforced hydration breaks that should be at the discretion of the Ref. Allows for a 3 min coaching clinic.
 
Me today at Kitsilano Beach, Vancouver after my partner went into a Gender Neutral washroom and left me seated right outside looking in!

Yes indeed, Chris Wood, the elder statesman CF, the provider again (like Harry Kane), let the young buck score the goal, beautiful setup by him. Now get a third goal and put the game to bed, don't need "squeaky bum" time, do we Kiwi? Did you doze off, should be awake at this hour?
