South Korea with the Extra Time Goal to get through to the knockout stages. Wow.
I was able to switch over to the Uruguay/Ghana match and see the news spread too.

Maybe Uruguay should have scored in the tournament before their last game.
Not that I have any sympathy for Uruguay after how some of their players confronted the referee after the final whistle.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2022
I have no real love for the Swiss, but I was very happy to see them beat Serbia today and knock Serbia out of the tournament. Ever since the collapse of Yugoslavia and the horrible, genocidal shit the Serbs were engaged in, they’ve always been on my list of countries not to root for. And to watch them get frustrated and get chippy with the Swiss players (and the ref) once they realized they were on the way out . . . Good riddance!

Re: FIFA World Cup 2022
To answer anyone who has the same question as me after seeing that, the answer is: "heat related deaths". Which seems obvious now, but until I read the article, I kept seeing that number thrown out and wondering "but...but...HOW?! That many slips and falls on construction sites?!?"

Bummed about the U.S. exist today, but, like everyone else seems to be, optimistic about the future for the USMNT.

England? No, if they get past Senegal tomorrow (hopeful), they'll face the winner of France v. Poland in the Quarterfinals. The first time England could meet Brazil is in the Finals. They're on different sides of the bracket.

Sure is. But not that much of a relief since they still have to face France. Watching Mbape and the French side today, I'm not all that confident in England's chances. Mbape is special.

Tough way for Japan to go out this morning. I really thought they had some good opportunities during OT, but their PKs seemed especially weak to me. Think the moment just got to them?

Re: FIFA World Cup 2022
Some really poor PKs. I think the stutter step is used too much.
This was a big match up for our household which is 1/4 Croatian and 1/4 Japanese. (Also 1/4 English so we have some experience with good news/bad news games after 2018)
Looking like Brazil next for Croatia which is going to be a heck of a challenge. Brazil in top form in the first half against Korea.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2022
Dunno if anyone watched the NCAA Women's Championship (College Cup) last night, but it was amazing. High level soccer and extremely dramatic.
The first time a team has come from 2-nil to win, and did it with both goals after the 80 minute mark (and there's no stoppage time in College). Game tying goal came with 16 seconds left, and winner in 2nd OT period with less than 4 minutes remaining.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2022
It drives me nuts that Fox's World Cup highlights on YouTube are only five minutes long (presumably this a contractual obligation - they are literally between 4:55-5:00 each). It's not enough nearly time for the build-up, replays, and commentator analysis. For comparison, NBC's highlight reels for Premier League games are usually 12-15 minutes, occasionally longer when the game warrants it.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2022
Love the last minute equalizer from the Netherlands, but rooting for Argentina here. Both for Messi, and because I'd like to have one non European team in the semis.
Which also could be Morocco tomorrow, but I'm assuming that Portugal will win.
