I’ve never really followed soccer (or any major sports for that matter lol) very closely, but whoever wins the world cup, let it be known that I was rooting for them the entire time :)

I was rooting for them so hard.

Lets finish off the round of 32:

Australia 1 Egypt 1 (2-4 on penalties)
Argentina 3 Cabo Verde 2
Colombia 1 Ghana 0 (Game 87 - anyone else getting fatigued?)

I'm so happy for Cabo Verde, getting Argentina into penalties They've done a great job 🫶

(Game 87 - anyone else getting fatigued?)

Not fatigued, exactly, but noticing the things I’m not doing because I’m watching Telemundo’s highlights on YouTube. OTOH looking at the news is a lot more fun when I’m just clicking through to the World Cup section.

From yesterday,
Canada 0 Morocco 3
Paraguay 0 France 1

I'm writing this on 3 hours sleep in the past 36

Brazil 1 Norway 2 - Haaland is just a freak of nature
Mexico 2 England 3 - Easy top 5 world cup match in my lifetime
Spain 1 Portugal 0 - Spain flatter than expected but Ronaldo bows out of international competition (unless...surely not?)

 

[Dreyski]

USA 1 Belgium 4 - justice after the Balogan red card scandal? The Belgian third and fourth were a US defensive horrorshow.
Argentina 3 Egypt 2 - 2-0 down with 11 minutes to play, Argentina flicked a switch and blitzed Egypt. Absolute scenes.

 

[Hollyfox]

From what I’ve seen on the net soccers a crazy sport when it comes to defending.

 

[Dreyski]

finishing off the round of 16:
Switzerland 0 Colombia 0 (Switzerland win 4-3 on penalties)

And so on to the quarter-finals:
France v Morocco
Spain v Belgium
Norway v England
Argentina v Switzerland

Tysm for keeping us updated

 

[Dreyski]

France 2 Morocco 0 - Mbappe scores again, and also misses a penalty, as France ease past a strangely subdued Morocco side to book their place in the semi-finals.

 

[Dreyski]

Spain 2 Belgium 1
England 2 Norway 1
Switzerland 1 Argentina 3

 

[NextXander]

Dang, France was kinda invisible today

 

[Dreyski]

France 0 Spain 2 - yeah France never really got going, which is surprising given how they were playing earlier in the tournament. Spain progress to the final.

 

[Dreyski]

England 1 Argentina 2
Godamn it.

****house vs ****house in the final, England vs France in third place playoff

 

[Cuddlebug]

It was kind of predictable... Argentina has won pretty much every one of its games this time around that way—wearing down their opponents and then striking hard right before the final whistle... And all anyone on the radio this morning is getting worked up about is that, for the first time in ??? years, there isn't a Bayern Munich player in the World Cup final “Oh Lord, send some brains from heaven”
