With both games set to start in the next couple of minutes, I am going to head off and focus on that.
If you want the Netherlands steam-rollering Qatar, then Barry Glendenning has got you covered …
If, on the other hand, you would like what is effectively a knockout match between Senegal and Ecuador for second place in Group A, then John Brewin is the man …
Why not have both open in different tabs?
I will see you here tomorrow. Keep safe and enjoy the football today.
Iranian authorities said Tuesday that two former members of the national soccer team arrested this month in connection with nationwide protests have been released on bail.
AP reports that Parviz Boroumand, a retired goalkeeper, was arrested nearly two weeks ago on charges of participating in protests in the capital, Tehran, and was accused of damaging property. Voria Ghafouri was arrested last week for “insulting the national soccer team and propagandizing against the government,” according to state-linked media. The judiciary announced their release Tuesday without elaborating.
Ghafouri, who is still playing for a local club, has been an outspoken critic of Iranian authorities throughout his career.
