Actually it was the rare exception in this group stage that I had feared would be the norm in the newly expanded 48-team field. But happily most of the games have been a rousing success.
I need to refill my moisturizing eye drops this weekend! My eyes are exhausted with following so much quality soccer! 👀

@pabloniusmonk The black was confusing! And yeah the game was a blowout. I missed their outing against the Swiss, hard to imagine this same Qatar team tying them. The last game of the group stage is going to be interesting…
