It was nice of them to let Iran get a pity goal at the end.

Ok time for the USA vs a tiny part of our former colonial overlord. Down with the King!

God only gives you so many goals, and England appears to have used them all up in the first game.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

The FOX coverage in the US has been awful, absolutely awful. Cringeworthy stuff. I've switched over to Peacock because NBC has the Spanish language rights to the world cup here.

To any in the US I suggest you do the same.

What are they doing? Showing slow motion video of US soldiers saluting bald eagles while George Washington sings "I'm proud to be an American?"

Or are they doing that thing where they presume Americans are all morons when it comes to soccer, even ones who are tuning into the world cup?

I think it just made the game seem more foreign.

Apparently Qatar is breaking another promise and not allowing cooked Kosher food or public Jewish prayer:

From online - FIFA: "Soccer brings all of us together."

Qatar: "Except the Jews."

FIFA: "Okay."
Let's bomb Russia!

Valmy

Who is better? Senegal or the Netherlands? We will all finally find out...maybe. Unless they tie.

FIFA ranking says the Netherlands.
Sénégal is the continental champion however, as Qatar for Asia, yet I would put CAF teams over AFC teams usually, specially after the Qatari team performance yesterday.  :P

Apparently England's group is the only one where all teams are ranked top 20.

Shows the value of rankings really.
