Hincapie with a dumb play for Ecuador. He left the ref no option but to call a PK:



Senegal converts to take a 1-0 lead near the end of the half:

Good God, that was a brutal foul. I’m watching off and on, missed this. Wow, bad.

Ecuador only needs a draw to advance, so this was, wow, bad bad bad.

Tomorrow's big 10am game is Australia-Denmark. Denmark must win to move on; otherwise Australia moves on.

The 2pm matches are all over the place. Poland-Argentina and Saudi Arabia-Mexico. Lots of options, but if Argentina draws and SA wins, then SA moves on, Argentina goes home.

I was just about to post this and saw you already did! It will be a fun couple of games. Any two can go through. I can't imagine that the Saudi's can do it again. But in reality, no team here can go into this feeling safe.

Australia-Denmark will be fun to watch. I am so rotten glad USA is done for the moment; I aged ten years yesterday.

Denmark stealing a page from yesterday’s USA strategy book, pushing like crazy.

yeah, there high press is interesting to watch. Some coaches feel that all that does is wear out your attackers. But if a team gets one turnover that is converted into a goal it makes all the effort worth it.

The ref awards a PK to Denmark in the 70th minute, but the AR raises the flag for the person that was fouled being offside. VAR confirms, so no PK.

France - Tunisia, there was 8 minutes of stoppage time, and France gets the equalizer at 97:5? sec. Wow. 1-1.

Edit: they are going to VAR. The goal is waved off. Not sure if it was because a Tunisian player was knocked down by a French attacker (what I think it was), or because of offsides.
