CS Opinions 📢🦉
R-E-L-A-X. Pochettino has this team figured out. The loss to Turkey in the last minute was unfortunate, but the team played well. Started 9 new guys, competed, got Pulisic some minutes and he looked good. The USA will beat B-H 3-1 and have a lot of momentum when they play Egypt/Belgium/South Korea in the Round of 16. No teams run undefeated through the WC.
Norway started 10 new players in their match against France. France played their starters. Will see how the different approaches play out.
Speaking of France, Dembele with the 1H hat trick. Mbappe is best known, but there are scorers all over the pitch.
Messi will be sitting in Argentina’s match v Jordan.
Cape Verde, The Blue Sharks, finish the group UNBEATEN, they also didn’t win, but three draws are enough for 3 points, and they have qualified for the round of 32 where they will play the defending champion Argentina.
Africa having a great WC - South Africa, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Cape Verde, Senegal, Ghana, (maybe Algeria), (possibly Congo).
Panama is the only team to not score in the WC, they have their final match Saturday to try and get on the board.
