Welcome to the 3rd day of the world cup and we have 4 games today: 1000 - Argentina v Saudi Arabia (ITV) 1300 - Denmark v Tunisia (ITV) 1600 - Mexico v Poland (BBC) 1900 - France v Australia (BBC) Argentina are one of the favourites for the tournament and Saudi Arabia are at the other end of that scale so the first game could end up being a very funny scoreline. Spare a thought for the fans who are having to get up early for what is a 7am kickoff local time. post your game predictions ITT Arg, Den, Mex, Fra for me

Refs Argentina - Saudi Arabia Referee: Slavko VINCIC (SVN) VAR: Pol van Boekel (NED) This is an interesting one. So far, confederation neutrality is holding - that is, no CONMEBOL if there's a CONMEBOL team. Last world cup broke that so its not a hard and fast rule any more but early days, so we will see how long it lasts. Given it went to a UEFA referee, you'd have thought with how lopsided this would be that they would use it on a lower rated one. That's not Vincic, I dont think. He worked three matches at Euro 2020 (2 group, quarterfinal Belgium Italy), has a couple of Champions League quarterfinals under his belt, and did the most recent Europa League final this past summer. This could be a case where FIFA and UEFA just don't agree on the pecking order, but... I dunno, anyway, this is going to be a boring game and I dont think Vincic is going to be challenged. Denmark Tunisia Referee: César RAMOS (MEX) VAR: Fernando Guerrero (MEX) Ramos struggled mightily at times throughout CONCACAF qualifying - it even looked like his spot as Mexico's #1 might have been in some doubt at one point. But he got his act together and so here he is. At the 2018 World Cup he worked Brazil Switzerland and Poland Colombia in the group stages before getting Uruguay Portugal in the Round of 16. I'm not sure exactly where in the general order FIFA currently see him, so hard to know if this is "easy match given to lower official" or "Protecting higher official for later by giving him an easy entry". Vincic is clearly the latter, Ramos may be the former - although as long as he doesn't have a major mistake, we will see Ramos a few more times I think. Mexico Poland Referee: Christopher BEATH (AUS) Fourth Official: Stéphanie Frappart (FRA) VAR: Shaun Evans (AUS) Making a note of the fourth official, this is Frappart's debut at the World Cup. Beath worked the Olympics, where he had the final between Brazil and Spain, and worked the most recent Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Palmerias, and has an Asian Cup Semi Final. So he's had about the biggest matches "available" to him. But I dont know a super lot about him. Reading the tea leaves, FIFA really likes him since this should be a tougher match, so I suspect he's probably going to be fine? But this might be the most interesting match today just in terms of "could go completely off the rails", so if the players start just kicking each other hopefully Beath is ready to adapt. France Australia Referee: Victor GOMES (RSA) Fourth Official: Salima Mukansanga (RWA) VAR: Drew Fischer (CAN) Another woman debuting at 4th official (USA female AR also debuting as reserve AR in this match). Gomes had two group stage games at the Olympic and had match in the final round in CAF qualifying. Gassama is clearly CAF's #1, but I think Gomes might be the #2. No specific thoughts on Gomes but a big game so an early test. A VAR from PRO on here.

There’s gonna be so many penalties this World Cup and so many 110-120 minute games that the knockouts won’t feel as special
