Columbia v Japan (Ongoing)

Poland v Senegal 11am ET

Russia v Egypt 2pm ET

Big story line is whether Mo Salah plays for Egypt and whether Russia can continue their unexpected attacking prowess.

If Japan and Senegal get out of the group with Columbia and Poland...well that would be very entertaining in a chaos way.  Probably less entertaining in quality soccer way at least if Columbia is eliminated.  But with the US not even making it, I just want chaos.  And for Mexico to lose badly.

It's not just you.  Sometimes when I listen to him on podcasts, he says some genuinely insightful things, and to here him talk about preparing to be on air, he does a lot of research.  Then by the time he distills everything into the few minutes he has to talk on air, it ends up being just another Hot Take with no insight.

Looks like Russia is just going to blow everyone out. They came prepared to this, which is a lot more than you can say about some of the favorites.

 I have to say that I am in the enamored with the review process in the World Cup. They do this so quickly and so decisively. Why cannot we replicate this review efficiency in American sports like football and basketball?
