WORLD CUP HIGHLIGHTS - GROUPS A to D ROUND 1
If you haven't gotten into this World Cup craze, I mean......WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE!
GROUP A
Hosts Russia started off the tournament agianst Saudi Arabia. While everyone thought this is going to be a 2-goal-max game. Well.....BAM 5:0! All eyes on this guy: Aleksandr Golovin
(Marco Reus is that you?)
Nah who are we kidding, MVP goes to this guy (for the meme, chill mate)
We then saw the pharaoh Salah held a tear or two as Egypt lost out by a goal to Uruguay in the 89' minute
GROUP B
Morroco 1 : 0 Iran
(I'll be honest...I didn't watch the game so.....MOVING ON)
Okay... just in case you wanted to watch it....and FYI: it's an own goal
Portugal vs Spain is one of the marquee matches of Round 1 and let's just say IT DELIVERED
We got an early penalty, a rare blunder from arguably the most reliable GK De Gea, a redemption wonderstrike from Nacho, two goals from dieee~~~go-dieeee~~~go-dieeee~~~~go AND OF COURSE
3:3 summed up
GROUP C
VAR was on full-blown duty in France vs Australia
A peanlty from Greizmann and a deflected + goal-line-technologied shot from Pogba had France squeezed past the Socceroos
BTW I bet you can stick 10 pens into Jedinak's beard
Peru's Cueva missed a penalty against Schmeichel Jr., sending the ball to the moon to meet Ramo's.
And that costed his team as Denmark found the net with their very own ronaldinho-look-alike Poulsen
Group D
The first major upset of the tournament came in Argentina vs Iceland. World-cup-debutant Iceland forced a 1:1 draw through Finnbogason's historic goal, after having first fallen behind to Aguero's powerful opening strike
