One Denmark Counter Was The Difference In Hotly Contested Match Against Peru

The Denmark vs Peru match finished 1-0 in favor of the Danes, but the scoreline did little to capture the end-to-end nature of the match. Peru looked the more threatening side during the first half, which culminated in a Christian Cueva penalty kick that landed 20 rows deep behind Kasper Schmeichel's goal.

Twitter Does Not Speak Fondly Of Peru Coach Ricardo Gareca, Or Is That Steven Tyler

Consider Peru coach Ricardo Gareca the foil to Morocco coach Hervé Renard. As much as Twitter loved Renard on Friday, the lovely people of the internet were not so kind to Gareca on Saturday.

Renard was the lone bright spot for his country in a disappointing 1-0 loss to Iran on Friday, winning fans over across the globe with his undeniably good looks

'Iceland Beats Argentina 1-1'

Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson led his island nation to an improbable 1-1 draw against heavyweight Argentina, sparking Fox play-by-play man John Strong to say "Iceland beats Argentina, 1-1."

Halldorsson came up with six saves against an Argentina side that controlled 78 percent of the possession. His stop on Lionel Messi's penalty will play on World Cup highlight reels for years to come.

Diego Maradona DGAF At 2018 World Cup

It’s not a World Cup without Diego Maradona. Whether he’s playing, coaching or just being himself on the sidelines, Maradona is such a massive character in the beautiful game he makes headlines wherever he goes. Diego Maradona at the 2018 World Cup is no different, and he clearly doesn’t give a f*ck about anything but himself. 

These Uruguayan Kids Freaking Out After Giménez's Goal Is What The World Cup Is About

The action yesterday at the World Cup is going to be a tough match day to beat. Uruguay and Egypt went toe-to-toe before a 90th minute header, Morocco gave up an own goal after dominating the entire match and Spain-Portugal was, well, you know.

Heartwarming Audio Of Icelandic Announcer Squealing Over His Country’s First World Cup Goal

Iceland’s first trip to the World Cup is off to a pretty fantastic start. The smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup won 1-1 against Argentina to start Group C play on Saturday. Alfred Finnbogason scored the equalizer for the underdogs and the call from Iceland announcer Gummi Ben showed just what it meant to his country. 

Iceland has a population of about 334,000, smaller than more than 50 cities in the U.S., but the team qualified for its first World Cup two years after thrilling at the 2016 Euros. 

Relive Ronaldo’s Awesome Free Kick In Six Different Languages

Cristiano Ronaldo had himself one hell of a game on Friday against Spain. He scored two first-half goals and finished off an incredible hat trick with a late equalizer in a 3-3 draw. The Ronaldo free kick vs Spain will go down as one of the greatest group-stage moments in World Cup history. 

Aguero Opens The Scoring, But Iceland Equalizes 4 Minutes Later

Group C is off to a wicked start folks. I’m going to get this out of the way early.

I never understood why Gonzalo Higuain got time over Sergio Aguero on the Argentina national team. That decision really personifies the shit show that is the Argentine FA. Sergio Aguero, who's been out with a knee injury since the end of April, made his return and showed just why he’s more valuable than Higuain. He can make something out of nothing in an instant and finish. (Now watch Higuain come in a score the game winner.)
