 Time for a quick power nap before the Peru v Denmark match.

I was willing Peru to score, a revelation they were . . . . so much the better team than Denmark I thought. That's sport I guess - an element of luck, good or bad!

Onwards to Croatia v Nigeria now, been a fab day.

I gave up on that one. One of the worst matches I've seen in a long time.

It looked like Nigeria forgot they were behind and were trying to play for the draw.

As for Victor Moses... proboards wouldn't like the word I'd use to describe him after all of that diving. That should be the end of that ref's tournament for not sending him off. Three or four clear dives he should have been booked for and the lad has shit for brains and wouldn't have stopped diving if he was on a yellow.

I fell asleep, not long woken up Bren . . . . seems like I didn't miss much!

Croatia had their first shot on target from open play in the 92nd minute, long after I had given up

That good eh! 

Can't be doing with watching games as dreary as that.

[BrenD]

That's more like it!

Even after both teams settled a bit after a slightly manic first 10-15, it was still an entertaining watch. Two teams keen to win rather than being too afraid of losing to do much.

Only caught the last half hour Bren which looked quite lively, as been on the phone to my Mother for a while . . . . who is 91 today and still going strong!

I shall be doing my chores next with one eye on the TV for the Germany v Mexico game.

[BrenD]

Not quite sure what that was from the Germans, but I'm loving it

Me too! Mexico are certainly looking the better team at the moment. 

[jtc]

Come on Mexico 🇲🇽 hold on to it 😊

[BrenD]

Germany hadn't lost a WC opener in my lifetime... they have now

Could have been 2 or 3, Mexico were brilliant.

[jtc]

Yup
Really enjoyed the 👍

[Perpetua]

And they did it!

[jtc]

Hope Brazil lose next 😂

[Perpetua]

Lol . . . . they can't do any worse than the last WC jtc, I was working late that evening they played, so didn't get home until about 9.30 . . . . switched on the telly and they were something like 6 nil down!!

Can't remember who they were playing now - but it was a bit of a shock!
