Poor goalkeeping on that free kick.

He's probably thinking "got it covered, it's going wide. Got it covered, looks like it's going wide. Oh fuck"

Any reason why they haven't put an evening game on tonight?

 

They've already started the tournament with a shit game in the late afternoon and now we have to wait until tomorrow for the next game. Fucking shite opening day.

I'm not sure why the other group game wasn't scheduled for this evening. There are 3 games on tomorrow, starting with Egypt v Uruguay at 1pm.

Its exactly what you people deserve for watching a world cup that Lucas is not a part of.

 

Shame on you.

Pretty sure its always been the one game(Hosts) on the first day

 

Not so sure about that. Seems to remember dual games on opening day in Germany 2006, and a few other tournaments too.

 

Also used to be the defending champions rather than the hosts on opening day at some point, like France getting beat by the mighty duo of Diouf and Diao in Korea/Japan.

It seems to vary. 2002, 2014 and 2018 all one game on the opening day. 2006 and 2010 had two games.

Might be completely wrong but it could possibly have something to do with setting the time of the opening ceremony so that as many people around the world can watch it and depending on how many matches can be played after it is how many are played. However I'm sure there are some matches being played from 7pm as well as from 4pm so they could have fitted another match in after Russia tonked Saudi Arabia.

 

Ignore me, I've been on the beak.
