But Haase looks so happy.

They were apparently practicing penalties, so does it really matter?

He was WAY of the line...

Woodwork, because you know, goals are that small.

I would really like to see GKs making pebalties.

Those are some VERY fast shots.

PP

Our team will play against Russia. Our team?! That will be a bloodbath since they are nervous enough even without the whole stadium going against them.

Honestly, England and Belgium are the only ones who really destroyed their group opponents. I can see their rematch in the final.

I thought Colombia was much better than this.

South America should be given more spots. They are quite clearly the best outside the Europe, so it's ridiculous to have them with fewer fixed spots than Africa

Colombia is only one goal down.

Another day, another penalty. At this point I'm pretty sure that the Grand Final too will be decided with a penalty. How lame would that be!

Interesting that both matches today are red vs yellow. Hopefully it will be a double victory for yellow.

No, that was about preventing a clear goal.

Nope. He actually pointed out that the red card stays.

Right, this time it's a red card. For not even a penalty.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure this is the largest number of predicted ties in the entire tournament.

53 ties, surely.

I remember reading that Montenegrins didn't want to host beach volleyball, but then the federation forced them. Anyway, surprised there's no archery and cycling. They are solidly developed in these countries.

Good read for bestmen.

It's probably all of their high school students.

Day 1 done and dusted.
