5 winners and 4 losers from a spectacular World Cup Day 2

Ronaldo stole the show and and we all got to witness something amazing.

We’re only one full day into the World Cup, and the competition has already delivered. The highlight was Cristiano Ronaldo’s dominant performance in Portugal’s 3-3 draw against Spain, but it’s not like the other matches were lacking drama. Neither was high scoring, but they both had last-minute winners, with Iran and Uruguay both snatching three points.

A lot of people had good days. But just as many had miserable days too. Here are your winners and losers from Day 2 of the World Cup.

WINNER: Cristiano Ronaldo’s legacy

Let’s get one thing straight: the World Cup should not define any player’s legacy. It’s a maximum seven-game tournament held once every four years. These guys can play 60 games in a season for their clubs.

Ronaldo has five Ballons d’Or, five Champions League titles, three Premier League titles, two La Liga titles, a European championship with Portugal, and has scored 450 goals in 438 appearances for Real Madrid. If you think his legacy as a Mt. Rushmore player in the history of the sport is in question, excuse my callousness, but you’re a dumbass.

But Ronaldo has only scored one goal in each of his previous three World Cups, and some people think that matters more than his performances in Champions League finals and Clásicos. Those people can now shut up forever, even if he doesn’t take Portugal on a deep run in Russia, because he did this.

LOSER: The weirdos who designed Ekaterinburg Arena

Building a stadium that met World Cup capacity requirements in Ekaterinburg would be silly, so Russian officials and FIFA came up with the wild solution of building giant bleachers outside. They look so terrifying.

Wondering what the view is like? It strangely looks like you’re watching the game at a movie theater while you’re actually at the game.

Just... build normal stadiums. What are y’all doing?

WINNER: Being #classy

Morocco lost its opening match against Iran in heartbreaking fashion, with Aziz Bouhaddouz directing the ball into his own goal in the dying minutes.

After the game, Iran’s Reza Ghoochanneljhad took to Instagram to offer words of support to his opponent.

LOSER: Mo Salah’s shoulder

Despite reports that he was healthy, Mohamed Salah didn’t play against Uruguay on Friday. Egypt’s attack struggled mightily without their star, who injured his shoulder in the Champions League final.

Egypt manager Hector Cuper said that he didn’t want to risk Salah re-aggravating his shoulder injury.

“The decision is always taken by myself and the staff - especially in the case of Mo. We were quite certain in the training session that he would be able to play. At the end of the training session, he was examined by the doctors and there was some doubt. If he fell or was hit by another player, we thought he might get another injury. We wanted to avoid any further injury. The odds were important.”

Whether or not Salah plays Egypt’s next game, against Russia on June 19, is anyone’s guess.

WINNER: Nacho, for this goal

While Nacho gave away a penalty in the opening minutes of Spain’s draw with Portugal, he more than redeemed himself in the latter stages. Look at this strike!

This was Nacho’s first career international goal, by the way. Hell of a way to get on the board.

LOSERS: Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez

Uruguay might have won their match, but they needed bailing out by a center back on a set piece. They won’t go far in this tournament unless their star strikers turn up.

Cavani and Suarez both had big chances to put their team ahead against Egypt, but neither could find the back of the net. Cavani had this wonderful effort saved:

And Suarez had some horrible misses, with this being the worst one:

WINNER: Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand

Morocco’s own goal only handed Iran a win because of this sensational play by Beiranvand, who might have been the day’s MVP if not for Ronaldo’s performance. This world class save on Hakim Ziyech just six minutes before the OG kept the score level.

And while we’re here, WHAT?????

Ridiculous.

LOSER: David De Gea

GUHHHHHHHHHHHH.

WINNER: Us, the fans

Come on, who is the World Cup really about? The athletes? PSHHHHHH. It’s all for us. And on Friday, we got two last-minute winners followed by Spain vs. Portugal, an absolute classic that will be remembered as one of the best World Cup games ever. We couldn’t have asked for any more than we got today. And it’s only Day 2.
