June 28Jun 28 Well, Austria and Algeria played out a thriller despite the claims that this format could have seen a damp squib.Very much in the balance whether this format has been a success and created more or less excitement.Think I’m just on the side of it being a success.

June 28Jun 28 News down here is that Infantino is already lining his pockets for the 2030 event. After saying the decision to stage the final at the Bernabeu had been made but not made official yet, his new and most fervent supporters (the Moroccan Football Federation) are saying that he's agreed that it should be held at what will become the worlds biggest football stadium when it is completed - the Hassan II Stadium in Casablanca.

June 28Jun 28 First of the knockout matches right now, Canada v South Africa. Tbh it's not fantastic, feel like the winner of the other match (Netherlands or Morocco) batter either of these

The staple of any international tournament.As always it’s a mix and balance.Good and tripe in both.That lack of jeopardy in the group games created some real open games and football. Think I heard the average was over 3 goals per game.Knockout games, between similar sides, like this, where no one is over gambling and are anxious about not making a mistake are not very entertaining.
June 28Jun 28 Knockout games need an early goal. RSA today deserved to lose just because of the keeper wasting time.
June 29Jun 29 Looks like a painting of the mountain has been used as a backdrop.Almost unreal, but spectacular.
