Married into a Brazilian family. There's about 30 of us here watching the game.

Even they hate neymar


My best friend is Brazilian and still lives down there. He always says the locals absolutely despise the national team at this point because they hate the primadonna bs

They loved that prima donna BS when Brazil was winning. They didn't say nothing then.

That was really fun to watch the last part of that game.

Congratulations to Norway!

Haaland looks like an actual Viking too.

I mean, the guy could not be more Norwegian looking.

Brazil's performance was embarrassing enough, but their sore loser attitude at the end was way more embarrassing for a world powerhouse like they are

Yeah, the guy that had the kick there at the end was being a little ***** about it. I get it emotions are high and maybe he was saying something that was joking around with the goalie, but it didn't look that way.

They played a ****ty game. It happens.

Norway with Haaland is an extremely likable team. Anyone catch the video of him looking to buy cowboy boots? Was great!


A friend of mine interacted with him when he was in downtown and said he was just so genuine and friendly with everyone. Can't help but root for a guy like that.

this ref jeezus - letting a bench player come on the pitch and start **** - then adding time, then giving a soft PK, then not carding Neymar for that

this guy is awful

OK, another question since I'm not a big soccer person. Why are they allowed to give extra time and then why did he all of a sudden call the game? Why can they just do that randomly?

Ref can add time to account for stoppages during the run of play i.e. injuries, substitutions, VAR reviews, goal celebrations, etc. And of course, gotta include the 3-minute hydration break.

OK, thank you. It's already weird to me that the clock moves upward instead of down, but it seems so arbitrary there at the end I appreciate the explanation.

It is arbitrary and up to the discretion of the ref.

But it is what it is.

Too bad we can't just add time here and there for Aggie football.

Could've used that in December.

Worst part of this World Cup is that it's making me start to like Erling effing Haaland, the smug ******* that he is

Looking like a delayed start here. Insane that FIFA didn't move this to 10 am or something.

I wish they'd send the rain up to Bryan. We were doing great till about three weeks ago.

They said it would be delayed about an hour. But I don't know when that hour started.

And it would've justified the idiot fans trying to keep the England team awake all night. Do they not realize that stuff doesn't work when it's a night game? The team can literally rest allll day. Putos.

The look on the Norway Goalie's face was something like, "Dude, you're like a full foot and a half shorter than me..."

Wasn't able to watch that last game but saw the highlights just now. That second goal from Haaland was incredible, and just ice cold on the turn as it was going in. He's quickly becoming a favorite of mine in this generation of players.

Haaland is a generational talent. It's a shame he plays for the cheatingest most despicable sportswashing team in existence.

Well you can argue that was the Olympic committee not the USSR that was cheating in 72.

Because that's what Manchester City is. They are owned by the sovereign of Abu Dhabi. So they have an unlimited petrodollar bank account and as a result can and do spend whatever they want on whatever player they want all the while breaking financial rules in place designed to stop them. And then they lawyer up when busted.

It's sportswashing.

He's talking about Haaland's club team, Man City, not the Norway national team.

I thought sportswashing was what the Norwegians are doing now.

It looks like they're scrubbing their clothes at the sportsball game.
