Haven't managed to watch much of this game - had it on in the background but Teams keeps going off. Great result for Tunisia if they can hang on though.

So Ameribrehs we rooting for Mexico or nah?

Looks good when the region looks good.

I pretty much root against every European and South American squad at every possible opportunity too, so that doubles it.

same thing with argentina every cup since the 90s

stellar strikers/wingers, mediocre midfield, trash defense

same thing every cup

shout out to crespo, batistuta and veron though

NOPE

Injury time is getting ridiculous. Never understood why refs can't just stop the clock when the ball goes out of play like in every other sport.

Gonna start referring to this World Cup as FergieTime 2022

For sure. I wasn't commenting on the teams, I was commenting on the sport in general. I like soccer gone but that's the single most annoying aspect.

Back in the day the USA used to do it less than most squads cause of the culture their youth players grew up in, but the gap is marginal now.

'shythousing' is just part of the game, or 'game management' if you're a manager.

England used to have that holier-than-thou attitude as well and it got them nothing but heartbreak.

You learn to love/admire it when you truly follow the game, though obviously it's always frustrating as fukk when it's happening to your team.

I take back my opinion on this cup, what a legendary showoff between Saudi Arabia and Argentina!

The ball, on average, is only actually in play for around 60 minutes. If you introduce a stop clock you would have to reduce the game to 60 minutes because otherwise players would be absolutely dead after every game.
