Really well done, Chile. What a match!

Having less points after two games than Iran has after one has to hurt

I have to route for Cameroon, Croatia's strip makes them look like a squad of jockeys! I can't support a team that looks like it would be more comfortable atop a horse.

The house is now filled with Colombians making various implements and sowing lots of fabrics for the game tomorrow.. I may have to root against them.

Croatia is kicking butt and taking names.

Question for the real fans. How do they determine which teams are in which group?

Groups are determined by draw. For this World Cup it took place last year.

I floated the idea by asking them to make me an ivory coast flag for a friend... Nobody laughed.

So it's totally by chance? No attempt is made at balance?

Unless there are shenanigans, it's totally by chance. The draw is done live on TV. That's how you end up having death groups where some countries end up in somewhat easy groups.

Maybe Spain and England can share a flight back to to Europe to save on travel costs.
