Right, there's the group rounds eliminated. No idea on the rules for the third placed stitch ups.

The technology on display here is the best, probably the most fantastically bestest in the history of football.

It’s 3-2, has been so for ages. The broadcast and ground scoreboard, has it as 2-2.

I can just imagine Kenneth Woolstenholme, back in the day, saying, and there’s Terry Darracott, impressively jumping the passing lane.

That's not legal, surely??

Well as with anything in America these days is it illegal if at the end of the day the ruling party decides they’re not going to care and let anything be enforced?

The ticket stuff was a huge miscalculation. Priced almost all international fans out at the start. Waited too long to realize it, and now there’s not enough time for accommodations and planning. Add in the price increases elsewhere for things like airfare and it’s just stupid.

I’m still excited for the games but the atmosphere will be lacking in the nob marquee games I fear.

There was probably too much hubris involved in thinking Saudi Arabia vs Cabo Verde could sell 70k tickets in the first place

I could see Japan pipping Netherlands to top their group TBH

Sweden will hammer them both. Well, in my dreams anyway.
