It could go either way for Argentina.
Remember when, as holders, they lost to Cameroon in the opening game of their defence of the title in 1990, yet still reached the final against the Germans.
Then there were holders France, who lost their opener to Senegal in 2002 and got knocked out in the group stage.
Their next game against the Mexicans is going to be very interesting!

I wish the BBC commentary would just give it a rest with lauding every touch Mbappe makes as if it was the best thing they've ever seen.
He's good, but it's his pace that gives him most of his edge, and in my view he's certainly not the great player they're making him out to be.
Mbappe misses an open goal from about 6 yards out just as I'm saying that to bolster my view.
I'm yet to be convinced of his 'greatness'.

Yes early days Gazz, and a long way to go.

There's always at least one pundit who will grate on us fans.
On the subject of the golden boot , I really don't have a clue who will win it this tournament.

That's a tricky one, Ceef, maybe Saka is a good outside bet?

Bloody phone.
My last post meant to say "maybe Saka..." Which I've now edited!

Stunning goal from Richarlison for Brazil.
Neymar has been the same as usual, all hype and zero justification of it.

Goal of the tournament for me so far... apart from Bale's penalty, obviously!

Anyone else get the feeling that FIFA have insisted on massive amounts of stoppage time to add extra drama to this world cup?
What the f***.
