There were no surprises on the second day either: the Netherlands and England met
Messi debuts with Argentina in what may be the last World Cup of his sports career
The first matches of this World Cup, for now, no surprisesespecially when it comes to two of the favorites that have already debuted: England and the Netherlands.
Before, in the opening party, Ecuador showed against Qatar that the ‘tricolor’ is a good team and that the Qataris are in the World Cup because they are the organizing country. A selection well below the level of the others. Who began to show their credentials was England. The convincing 6-2 against Iran, another weak team, but Gareth Southgate’s men are in line with last Euro Cup, where they reached the final.
The Netherlands suffered more to win, but Senegal is also a good team. In the end, Louis van Gaal’s men managed to prevail and start well. And after the United States-Wales that closed the second day, all pending what may happen in the coming days. Apart from the Spanish team, I really want to see Messi with his Argentina. Perhaps Leo’s last chance to win the title. We are all a bit of Messi and Argentina.
Attention also to the other candidates: Germany in the group with Spain, France still losing two important pieces like Nkunku and Benzema, and Tite’s Brazil, always one of the great favorites by name and history, especially in this World Cup. The ‘canarinha’ is very powerful.
