Interesting how no one said this before they got thrashed 6-2. Most people had them finishing second.
Day 2: England vs Iran | Senegal vs Netherlands | USA vs Wales

This game has been terrible. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Ecuador top the group.
Damn.
England-Iran had 8 goals in it, England were very good to be fair.
At least one African Team can compete with the European teams.
Christ this is bad
The injuries are gonna ruin this tournament.
How can you hit it "too well"? That phrase needs to die.
Have they told Vangle we can make more than 1 sub?
But The Netherlands are apparently one of the favourites.
Any United fans getting PTSD watching Van Gaal's football?
I think Kouyate did his hamstring there
Algeria would've got a good shot if they didn't shit the bed against Cameroon.
Frankly odd atmosphere
I don’t miss watching Van Gaal as manager of my team. Rigid structure for stale passing. Tough watch.
And some wanted LVG to stay on.
Ally McCoist with the 'he almost hit it too well' brand of commentary. The player hit it straight at the keeper.
Yeah hardly surprising, and these are all on the first games. Dread to think what the casualty list looks like deeper into the tournament.
Hoping our players get as little gametime as possible. I worry for the likes of Bruno, Dalot, Shaw and Varane.
LVG football
Senegal recently drew 1-1 with Iran. With Mane.
Senegal have been better at almost every aspect of the game. Deserve the win imo if they can push bit more
This referee isn’t fussy, at least. Totally relaxed.
Official attendance 1700 over capacity 
Mané's absence is sorely felt.

Delete both the channel list bit and the remaining blue area and it fixes it.
I reckon Senegal want this more and will take it
Davy Klaassen
Qatar would have strolled past these two
Game is crying out for Davy Klaassen
Attacker off, Klaassen on.
Never change LVG
Never change LVG
Varane might not start, I hope he doesn't tbh. Not at least before he is 100% fit
Queiroz blaming Iranian fans for the loss. Telling them not to come to the stadium if they don't want to support the team.
He's lost the plot. Absolutely tone-deaf or doesn't want to know why it's happening.
I lost all respect for him when he didn't even say: "Yes I support equal rights for Iranian women" in his pre-match conference and instead deflected the question by saying he'd only answer it if Sky gave him money.

Embarrassing peformance by Holland. 0 shots on target so far.
Klaassen is one of their best players, he will show Frenkie how its done.
De Jong has been the worst player on the field. Terrible
Van De Beek would've been perfect in this Holland side.
Mane on the field and this Senegal team scores already.
