World Cup 2022

Morocco v Croatia turned out as expected with Croatia having possession and Morocco trying to counterattack. More chances created by Croatia, but in the end a scoreless draw.

Prior to the game starting, the German team staged a team photo protest. Many commentators made the point that a stronger protest would be if they would fail to play.

Which is exactly what they did.

Germany scores only to try and ride out their one goal lead. Japan kept up the pressure and deserved the win. Congrats Japan! Japan very well could have just punched their ticket to the knockout stage and made Germany’s path very difficult in one swoop.

Spain lived up to their superior talent and crushed CR.

Belgium v Canada had both sides creating chances with Belgium finishing one of theirs. But you could tell this isn’t the same Belgium side we enjoyed watching in 2018.
