Ronaldo a clear dive for me to win the penalty.
So… Casper got a circlet on his head and some scrollwork?This is the official mascot of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
So Australia won a game. Good on 'em. We actually looked almost reasonable at times in the half I saw, too.
Top drawer goals in the Argentina - Mexico game. Otherwise dire viewing. Hard to see Argentina getting much further (unfortunately) if they don't vastly improve.

Did anyone else hear “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” while the US and England were playing their match?
ETA: It was funny hearing it while English fans were singing “God Save the King.”

How the hell was that a penalty in the Uruguay - Portugal game? Was the Uruguayan bloke supposed to make his hand dematerialise or something? The handball law is a joke.
The only good thing is Narcisso didn't get to take it. But really. Laughable stuff. To top it off, there were a couple of Portugal players in the D as Bruno kicked it, so it shouldn't have counted.
ETA: I don't usually have any time for pitch invaders, but good on that bloke. Hope he gets out of Qatar in one piece.

Uruguay has its history with handballs. At least the referee didn't get biting marks by Luis Suaréz.
Uruguay did struggle most of the time and Portugal got its revenge for 2018. It doesn't make Portugal favorite for the final.
I think France is going to advance there.
Germany is too smug after the draw against Spain. Costa Rica won't be easily beaten with three or more goals. Fuellkrug is good for the German team as striker, though....

USA advances! 
So much for my predictive powers. I'm...quite okay to have been wrong, though. Good on 'em. Off to find a replay / better highlights than what I watched earlier.
That penalty award for Argentina is appalling. Thank god it was saved.
I think we'll beat Senegal, but then we run into France, and it's goodnight. Argentina should beat Australia, and France will beat Poland, and elsewhere, the Dutch would be fancied to beat the USA. Nothing is certain mind.
