HT - Russia bulldozed one in.

D. Glushakov goal vs New Zealand (1-0)

Seeing many empty seats in the stadium and what's up with the blood splat crosses on the ball?
A bit creepy imo.

Portugal will be playing Mexico today in the shadow of this terrible tragedy:

At least 24 killed as fierce wildfire rages in Portugal

Rode my bicycle to Müggelsee (Lake) and went for a swim. Got back and showered just in time to see the first goal.

Timing is everything. :)

One hour and fifteen minutes is probably accurate enough... I went further to the far end where the free beach is. I spent exactly zero euros today - I am proud of that (brought a ham & cheese sandwich and water).
