Defense wins championships or something.

And, if you watch Argentina with a Spanish ref, flopping gets you penalty kicks.

That isn’t an Argentina thing…been happening across the sport for some time now

BTW…that was a clear penalty today

Holy poo! Grant Wahl died in Qatar while covering the ARG/NED game. Saying he collapsed and died at a hospital and had been sick with bronchitis but his brother thinks he was killed

Wild poo… I’m not a conspiracy theory person but it kind of sounds like he was poisoned.

Way to go FIFA.

But it's the most popular sport in the world and this is the biggest "sporting event" in the world.

So no one will care that Wahl died, how he died or anything else. Matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet it was barely mentioned, if at all, during today's games.

$$$$$ is all that matters.

FIFA did a tribute for him pre-game of one of the matches and his seat in the press area was left open with a small tribute in its place

The autopsy will be revealing. Wahl had said on a podcast that multiple people in the press areas have been sick and I’ve seen on twitter ppl saying they returned from Qatar sick, but not COVID. It’s all very strange

A lot of what I heard has been linked to portable air conditioners in the shitty fan camps. Assuming mold or something

So it looks like Reyna’s playing time wasn’t due to anything tactical at all. According to reports, he was half assing it in training and was nearly sent home. Apparently, he later apologized to the team.

I read that as well and gotta tell you that really pisses me off.  He took someone’s spot and then proceeds to be a complete ass.  Reyna is a punk

First off pulling for Messi to get that World Cup.  A France repeat feels like it is in the cards IMO but what an amazing final

The France win over Morocco guarantees me a $250 payout in the office pool, if they win Sunday the number goes up to $600. Vive la France!

I mean If you're told to apologize or you're getting a plane ticket home does it really even count?

Why did FIFA pick Qatar again? This thing sounds like a poo show before it even started. 

The same old time told story, "Money Talks".

Oh boy that was a very light foul on that penalty
