1 or less goals 6 2 or less goals 9 3 or less goals 11
The three games with more than 3 goals were played between teams in terms of rankings:
4 v 38 5 v 20 7 v 31
I would be surprised, once we get into the knock out stages, whether there will be many high scoring games. I hope that Southgate doesn't resort to a back 5 plus 2 holding midfielders. We are so much a better team with the handbrake off but I suspect that he might do so simply because of the fear that, if we go behind, in chasing the game we will leave ourselves too vulnerable to the counter.
Missed the beginning as we had a power cut (blowing a hoolie with thunder & lightning). Didn’t miss much. Although not sure how that Ronaldo goal wasn’t given 😳
Where’s VAR? First it looked like the Portuguese player made deliberate head contact with the Ghanaian, but the Ghanaian was the only one to get a card, and then that pen should definitely have been reviewed. Looked like a clear dive to me.

Wonder if the commentary team will mention it, any other Nation losing their No. 1 Goalkeeper on the eve of the tournament would be massive news

Joe would have saved it though 😜
