Two teams I hate. At least it was a good game.

Go Juve!

Fuck Juve.

You can always trust them to lose a CL final.

How cruel of you to assimilate them to Benfica.

Qatar, host of the 2022 WC (Thanks Sepp), has now been accused of being a state sponsor of terror by Saudi Arabia (takes one to know one?) and some other Arab countries. These countries have stopped diplomatic relations and closed borders...

Not sure whether I should laugh or cry ...

There can be only one! [spoiler]State sponsor of Wahhabism.  [/spoiler]

I would say the USA has a small chance at hosting it now but I am not confident our country will be around much longer.

Can Qatar get a refund on their bribes?

Qatar WC is not for five years. Trump will fix all terrorism problems by then

It's only a game.

Well, I did not see this one coming. 
Sweden 2 France 1
Victory goal 94th thanks to a fluke by Lloris, very well exploited by Toivonen from the midfield.

Play-offs could be hellish with France, Spain or Italy. Not to mention Portugal.

PS: and Hungary managed to lose against Andorra 1-0. 
First victory in 66 games for Andorra.

The anti-time-wasting measures sounds promising, I would add a shot to the back of the head for filming.

[Josephus]

the anti-time wasting measures will also be the first step for allowing in-game commercials. "Corner? Wait 30 seconds before you take it."

Yeah, some places in Europe they already do the picture-in-picture commercial and throw in a quick commercial while you try and watch the replay on the small screen.
