Fifa Round 1: Added time, shock results and what to look forward to - The first round of games are done. Who stood out, who flopped and what to watch out for

Man, don’t you just love the Fifa World Cup. Whatever you feel about Qatar and all the politics of this tournament, you cannot deny it has thrown up some quality football.

It’s high time the football world acknowledged Saudi Arabia’s head coach, Hervé Renard, and not just for his sartorially crisp white shirts. Senegal have a must-win clash against Qatar lined up. After their loss to the Dutch, Ismaïla Sarr looked like their biggest threat and the Lions of Teranga will surely look to him to pick up some points.This group looks like it’s already in the bag for England but this is football and you never know what can happen. After an assured 6-2 win over Iran and a draw between Wales and USA, a win will see England qualify when they take on the USA.

Tunisia will take on Australia, who will no doubt be licking their wounds after a 4-1 loss to France in a game where they didn’t play too badly at all. Probably the game of the weekend will see Germany take on Spain. For the Germans it’s a must-win encounter or they risk elimination. Spain, fresh from a 7-0 win over Costa Rica, will look to dominate the ball and knock Germany out. Lick your lips, folks, this one will be tasty.
