Turns out Russia aren’t very good, but just how bad are Egypt? We now have 4 games a day, with 2 kicking off simultaneously at 3pm and at 7pm and how on earth are we meant to keep up with all the drama?? Group A: Uruguay bat away the hosts with relative ease, winning 3-0 and the result never really in doubt once Luis Suarez put the South Americans in front. Just how far can the Uruguayans go? And will Russia be satisfied to just get out of the group? Group B: Before the tournament, most would have predicted Spain and Portugal to go through first and second and that is exactly what happened, but not many would have predicted it to go down like this. VAR played a helping hand in what was a defining 2 minutes in this group and potentially the entire World Cup. All of a sudden Portugal are in the tough side of the draw and Spain could be in the ‘easier’ path. But what about VAR? Does it add to or take away from the drama? Has it been used properly or is it being abused? Should it stay or should it go?
