Yes, I watch the news.

Of course Trump shouldn't have got involved. FIFA have lost all credibility.
I find myself agreeing. Fifa has no creds.

Not quite as well known as the World Cup, the Tiddlywinks championship match is being telecast, this afternoon, on the Galapagos’ public TV network.👍

I am beginning to enjoy watching the games, even though Canada is out, they went further than they ever have. I think we will see Football/Soccer pick up in Canada even more so now. It was a great learning experience I believe for them.

Watched that in Ecuador one year, they close all their schools and give everyone a day off work to watch it. Winner gets a trip to silver island, the poor man's Galapagos.

ITV commentator: “I really don’t think the delay (to taking the penalty) helped Mbape”

Oh dear … did having to wait a few seconds because he hadn’t put the ball correctly on the penalty spot make one of the best players in the world take an absolutely crap penalty?

This 👆🏼


@diver
I'm hoping Morocco win. The fact that every official in this game is Argentinian leads to me to think that this is just more corrupt play from Fifa. We will see.

Worst penalty in the world by France, followed by the worst free kick in the world by Morocco.

Almost 4 minutes and asked to move the ball 3 times?

That's nuts.
