Enner Valencia two goals, that would put him on 8 overall world cup goals, the same as Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane before the tournament. Crazy.

It's a bit ironic to see such a high scoring match with Ecuador. All I heard about them was how incredible their defence was with Pacho, Hincapié etc. And then they swoop the floor with such a brilliant attacking performance in a six goals game.

Really wanted to give an authentic feel to the games, so I made them long and (similar to the real world cup) in a relatively slow, realistic pace of the game. HERE WE GO!

• Games are at Legendary level, 2x 15 minutes, creating a ca. 40 minute video on YouTube per match
• I'll play the highest seeded team: so whichever team was in the higher pot during the draw
  (meaning, I'll never play with pot 4 nations: no Jordan, Cape Verde, Ghana, Curaçao, Haiti, New Zealand, Italy, Poland, Türkiye, Denmark, DR Congo, or Indonesia)
• The games will be broadcasted as game captures, not too many post-edits. Apologies if that isn't to your liking, but that's how I chose to do my chise

You'll never get it right completely in terms of realism, but the goal is to make the team you play perform as well as you can and I think I got a lot out of Ecuador, something I did not manage with Mexico who felt very rigid and arduous.

Next up is Group D: Denmark v Qatar and USA v Senegal: what say you?
