⚽️ Interesting day. 🇨🇦 Canada and 🇨🇭 Switzerland grabbed the headlines with the big scorelines, but 🇲🇽 Mexico may have had the most important result. They weren't flashy, they weren't dominant, they just got another win and now sit on six points without conceding a goal. That's the kind of team that tends to sneak up on people in tournaments. ⚽️
Meanwhile 🇨🇦 Canada and 🇨🇭 Switzerland both looked like teams that have gone from "happy to be here" to "nobody wants to draw us in the knockout rounds." 👀
Feels like we're starting to separate the contenders from the tourists. 🌎🏆⚽️
Yes mate, but wait, the real championship starts in the second stage; whoever loses goes home.

@louis Well, the weather is always on people's minds around here and is always a major topic of conversation. We are on the tail end of tornado season. My wife and my neighbors agree that this year has been the highest winds from January through June that I can remember, and I have been living here since 1988 and in Kansas since 1979. But if you stay alert and tune into the weather, we have a pretty good alert system, plus with all the weather apps available, you can stay ahead of the problems. When in doubt, go take cover in the basement. BTW, Team USA made the knockout round.
As for KC, best kept secret in America...until now...

CR7 finally got rolling today. Two goals in Portugal's 5–0 win over Uzbekistan, and honestly he could've had a hat trick. That gives Ronaldo 2 goals in this World Cup and 10 for his World Cup career—now the all-time Portuguese leader and the first player ever to score in six different World Cups. Not bad for a 41-year-old. ⚽🇵🇹🐐

After the first stage, here are the qualifiers and their next opponents. The loser returns to his country.
Now things get serious … my country up first tonight vs Canada… we never got this far, let’s see how we do. 😎
One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

Now the real competition begins.

I'll have to go with my wife then. 😏
