Ivory Coast and Morocco have both played excellently against the top South American teams. We all know Senegal are class, and Algeria have talent. Could be a special tournament for the African teams #CIVECU#WorldCup
If Emerson Fae doesnβt take Fofana off asap, heβs got blood on his hands. Anyone with eyes can see heβs a walking yellow card. They keep running away from him. Youβve got Sangare right there - use him. #CIVECU#WorldCup
Doue, Fofana and Kessie are playing like imbeciles, and all on yellows now. Whether itβs a managerial directive or the occasion is getting to them, itβll be ridiculous if one gets a red after these moronic yellow cards #CIVECU#WorldCup
Love that Caicedoβs had to go off there - rolling around faking an injury and pausing the game when Ivory Coast had a promising attack. A very good rule change #CIVECU#WorldCup
Deserved equaliser for Japan, although the fact theyβve clearly been saving themselves for the final βquarterβ is kind of jarring. Hydration breaks are ruining this tournament #NEDJAP#WorldCup
Curacao, ranked 82nd in the world, have Germany, ranked 10th, on the ropes... but let's stop for a "hydration break" in an air-conditioned stadium.
What an absolute farce.
Genuinely emotional watching Haiti play again in the World Cup. No nation has been so thoroughly & repeatedly spat on and humiliated by the Western world for the crime of demanding its own freedom and self-determination as them. Seeing them back on the global stage is incredible.
1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup.
Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament.
The beautiful game belongs to everyone.

This needs to be the first and last tournament with βhydration breaksβ. Absolute profit driven nonsense. Only games that need it should have ad breaks. Because thatβs what they are (but thankfully the BBC and ITV know their audience) #BRAMOR#WorldCup
