Good.

...and there is egg on your favourite Prez's face.

Even better.

”Look, we all know the USA won that game. By a lot. I just need you to find four more goals.”

Before the "incident" I felt it'd be good for the tournament and football in general if the USA would win this game, but after the Trump/Infantino debacle I just wanted the USA to be eliminated. I'm part of the "I can't believe they made us support Belgium" crowd. :roll: But this isn't over ...

The suspended suspension just shows how disgraceful the level of corruption in FIFA has become. The rules for the tournament are crystal clear; a red card means an automatic suspension for the next game. There is no exception, no process for appeal. To change the rules mid tournament is a new low ...

Appears Folarin Baloguns red card will be rescinded and he will play for the US versus Belgium. Very unusual development.... UEFA has issued a statement: Yesterday’s decision to suspend for a probationary period of a year the implementation of the one-match automatic suspension following the red c ...

No shame in losing to Morocco.
They’re ranked in the top ten and took out the Netherlands as well.

Well done, Canada! You had a good run.

Amazing last night that Cape Verde took Argentina to overtime! :shock: Less than 500,000 people on some windswept islands in the middle of nowhere, off the African coast. A 40 year old volleyball youth coach in goal, and still undefeated in regulation in world cup games. Argentina eventually sent ...

Happy Canada Day!

Well, pretty much as expected. We would have needed a few lucky bounces to put up a fight. France is too good. But I have high hopes for the future. Potter has made wonders with this team, but he wasn’t given enough time. I think we may have a pretty good team for the next Euro. Hopefully Kulusevski ...

I like that the crowd always boos the commercial breaks.

Fucking commeltcial break.

Now watching the ivory trade battle! During the Middle Ages the Norwegians, with their colonies on Iceland and Greenland had cornered the European ivory market. Not sure why Europeans could not access the African market at that time. Then at some point in the 15th century African ivory reached ...

There is discussion of unification between Romania and Moldova. Moldova was part of Romania between the world wars, before being annexed by the Soviet Union at the end of WW2. The population speaks Romanian, and the two countries have strong cultural, linguistic and historical ties. They even have ...

Two major upsets last night, both Germany and the Netherlands eliminated!

Sweden does!

Playing Canada would mean we have eliminated both France and Paraguay and have made it to the quarter finals, so yeah - that's the dream!

But there is an A in Maroc, which is what they call themselves in French, AND in al-Maghrib, which is what they call themselves in Arabic.

Not everyone speaks English.

At long last! Congrats!
