    Yep. Brazil Argentina and portugal rely too much on one player.

    When said player is on form like ronaldo was you will beat anyone. If they aren't on form like messi and neymar, as so much of your gameplan and preparation goes through them, you won't win, even with good players around you.

    England escaped in extra time. That was a great header by Kane, though.

    Harry Kane is awesome. Huge fan.

    It was closer to a draw like any other recent England opener, let's be honest here. That second half was atrocious. Sterling needs to start on the bench next one and Rashford in.

    Looking forward to seeing mo salah today.

    Another team completely dependent on its star, but that seems rather typical of most world cup teams, imo.

    So who screwed that up - the Poles or the ref? Either way it was a crazy second goal by Senegal - as if the first goal by Senegal wasn't a little crazy as well (own goal).

    Sterling reminds me of Rajon Rondo when he first entered the league. He can move the ball. He can penetrate, but he can't shoot for shit.

    Into the 2nd round of matches and there has yet to be a 0-0 draw.

    I am very confident that nobody had the final 16 the way it currently projects.
