    What a match and what a triumph for Iceland.

    They could even have won that game. I was impressed by their approach and the Argentinian defence looked suspect far too often.

    I missed all the excitement yesterday, could only hear the Nigeria-Croatia game on the radio in the car. I would have loved to see Argentina-Iceland.

    Serbia coming out firing!

    Edit: And the Ticos, too. Hope this keeps up

    And what a chance, and missed, by former Columbus player Giancarlo Gonzalez!

    Bloody Costa Rica! There's still time to get something from this match.
    Just pretend you're playing England.

    Not the worst match so far but a fairly scrappy affair. Hopefully the rest of the games will be better today.

    Serbs should have closed it out there.

    Serbia certainly deserve the three points, but that was a really fun game to watch, even if it got chippy. Both teams wasteful.

    My favorite team for the tournament is up next

    My favorite team is whoever is playing against Mexico. Just to end any confusion

    Did Germany forget to pack any defenders?

    Only reason Mexico is winning by 1 goal is because they've been squandering so many good opportunities.

    One the one hand it's Mexico, on the other, the Trump administration is treating Mexicans so badly that ¡Vamos México!

    Defensive midfielders. Really miss Schweinsteiger.

    And Müller has been particularly dreadful.

    Lastly, no movement up front

    This first round is really screwing with the fantasy team.

    Damn these unreliable big sides
