Second day of the World Cup and we still can’t wipe the smile off our faces. Maybe the teams are still struggling to find their rhythm, but the tournament in the stands and on the streets has been beautiful.
Here are some of the biggest moments we experienced on the second day of the World Cup.
☔️ If it rains, the party goes on anyway
The USA kicked off its World Cup by dismantling Paraguay 4-1, a result that is already part of the country’s football history, and celebrations erupted all over the nation. They broke out where the sun was shining and didn’t stop where the storm was hitting either, like in Minneapolis.
🚰 Telemundo does it the old-fashioned way
Telemundo, unlike most channels broadcasting the World Cup, is showing live what happens on the pitch during hydration breaks instead of cutting away from the match for ads,
"We prefer the old-fashioned way. We should be able to see what the players are doing. We show the fans, the people enjoying themselves, not football’s corporate side," they explain.
🇧🇦 When the Bosnians took over Toronto
They didn’t go to watch Argentina, Brazil or England. They went in huge numbers to cheer on Bosnia and Herzegovina, and yesterday they gave us one of the images of the World Cup. An incredible crowd.
⚽️ England get robbed, but they’re left with the essentials
England were stripped bare just hours before their debut. Thieves stole their training gear, massage tables, Tuchel’s tactics boards, and even the boots used by Bellingham and Harry Kane.
At least they left one ball, and if England end up winning their first match, we’ll have the metaphor about the importance of staying true to the essentials served up on a silver platter.
