Brazil scored their first goal right when we were having an earthquake so that definitely made it memorable.

Is that a good or a bad omen

I just saw the earthquake news, sending a lot of sympathy.

That made the news over here, hoping you and yours are safe.

Time for an overnight catch up while group I plays.
Group F:
Japan 1 Sweden 1
Tunisia 1 Netherlands 3
Poor Tunisia may end up with the worst record amongst all 48 teams with 0 points and -10 GD. With less jeopardy, Sweden and Japan knew what they needed and possibly played a bit within themselves?
Group D:
Paraguay 0 Australia 0
Turkey 3 USA 2
With qualification secured, USA rested most of their players from the first two games and Turkey ended up picking up their first win since 2002. Meanwhile, like in the previous group, Australia and Paraguay played out a draw which suited both parties.

Norway not giving it all vs France was disappointing

More overnight results
Group I:
Norway 1 France 4
Senegal 5 Iraq 0
Norway rested a lot of players and it showed. Mbappe didn't even score, and France are the second team to go through with 9 points. Senegal's big win over Iraq gives them a solid spot in the 3rd place rankings as the only team so far with a positive goal difference.
Group H:
Uruguay 0 Spain 1
Cabo Verde 0 Saudi Arabia 0
Spain top the group as expected, but none of the other teams registered a single win. Rather improbably, Cabo Verde go through as they didn't lose any of their games either. Neither Uruguay or Saudi Arabia picked up enough points to be in the 3rd place mixer
Group G:
New Zealand 1 Belgium 5
Egypt 1 Iran 1
Belgium get their s*it together in time for the last match, and pip Egypt to the top of the group by GD. Iran will be looking over their shoulder nervously as the final groups play.

Ha, I forgot to post reply...
Group L:
England 2 Panama 0
Croatia 2 Ghana 1
England labour to the top of their group, with Croatia winning their final group game pushing Ghana into the 3rd place mini-league.
Group K:
DR Congo 3 Uzbekistan 1
Colombia 0 Portugal 0
Colombia and Portugal were already though, but Portugal failed to overhaul them to finish top. DRC won their game to clinch third place.
Group J
Jordan 1 Argentina 3
Algeria 3 Austria 3
Argentina completed the clean sweep, Jordan return empty handed from a tough grouo. Algeria thought they had avenged the 'disgrace of Gijon' (google it) with a 93rd minute goal but Austria dramatically equalised deep into time added on. Both teams progress, at the expense of Iran (9th from 8 qualifiers).
Onto the knockouts!
