Glad we have him back, but this should have been taken care of Thursday. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have him made available on late notice vs not at all, but to the extent his availability adjusts our strategy, it is a bit squirrelly getting the news the day before

100%. we're taking **** from the world unnecessarily. If this happens first thing next day, they don't let the flack erupt.


We've been taking **** and we're going to take **** from the world regardless. I like it better this way. Let those little euro*****es get mad.

Yokel's anthem reviews
Brazil's anthem is perhaps the best example of the "joyful" national hymn; the Norwegian tune sounds kind of dour in comparison. An easy win for Brazil.

I would like to see Norway win and I predict a highly entertaining game with two goals from Haaland. In the end, Brazil has too much firepower and advance, 4-2.

Dear RBFA

Oh boo freaking hoo. Didn't we fight, like, a giant war to liberate your scuzzy little country from the Kaiser, just so you could turn around 20 years later and surrender it right back to the Germans? Without Merica, you would all be speaking auf Deutsch (although maybe that would be easier as you can't seem to figure out what language to speak).

Anyway, shut your whiny little traps. USA USA USA!!!

Belgium had a very questionable call occur from VAR review that helped them win their game. Maybe we should open up an investigation into that one as well.

Ball is maybe going out of bounds, but definitely a penalty

If the defender touches the ball first, is it still a penalty? One angle looks awfully close

I honestly dont blame refs for missing these live, players have gotten so good at diving and do it nonstop

Even this one he is going down anticipating the contact, but there is clearly major contact

To be fair depending on angle it looked like he got a touch on the ball. I thought he did live.

Unless the tackle is very reckless/violent, no.

But say you came in with studs up, got the ball first then cleated the attacker in the ankle, they likely would and should call the penalty.

The defender was nowhere near touching that ball.

1) Vini should have taken it. 2) he damned near went backwards on his feint. So glad it was saved.

These are professional players. Just pound the ball into the corners. You'll be a 90% penalty taker. Stop with this nonsense
