Not sure what kind of competitive games we are going to see when this tourney expands to 48 teams in 2026.

Not sure I have ever seen ten minutes of added time.

Hey Kane - get off your ass faster next time

The only worry is England peaking too soon...I'm sure the press back home will keep things understated.

There was 14 minutes of added time in the 1st half.
Wow. I started watching in the second.

Was there like some kind of zumba break in the middle of the first half?

The keeper for Iran had a nasty collision with one of his defenders. He received some "medical" attention, looked like he was going to stay in the game, then asked to be substituted a couple of minutes later.

lol - Maguire was tackled in the 1st half and VAR/ref ruled no penalty, a little shirt tug and Iran gets a spot kick.

Good start for England. You're right, consensus will go from no-hoper to tournament favourites after that game.

The Dutch are looking very slow today.

I was unaware that Dutch fans could watch any sporting event without flares.

Good to see the Dutch are able to play like shit for 80 minutes and still get the win. I'm rooting for them this WC

Senegal is arguably their toughest opponent in this group IMO.

A bit hard on Senegal but the Dutch did what they had to do.

Given that the Dutch will probably rest guys against Ecuador in their final group match Senegal going to have to beat Ecuador to stay in it.
