World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

The Iranian team features six defenders in the starting XI.
It's also the oldest starting lineup in World Cup history.

Lukaku sees a yellow inside of two minutes....
 
Saw a bit on IG of a Euro-snob maligning the U.S. side for having too many non-homegrown starters out of 11, and then someone showed that most of the UEFA counties had at least double of that in numbers.

Belgium is having the overall better of the play, but Iran has not played like wallflowers at all.

Interesting graphic of all the teams with players not born in the country. All (or almost all) of Curaçao is actually born in the Netherlands. Surprised at how much the African teams are made up of the diaspora.

If you throw a nutter like that Belgian you should have to sit for a while. It looks like it may have been 20% warranted, which is way better than usual, but FFS music by Verdi.
 
Hey Spartanforlife4- I keep seeing ads about MSU doing the turf for this WC- have you gotten any articles about this from MSU? I'm interested in reading them. I remember back that MSU also developed the turf for the Silverdome's games. This year isn't as harsh as that, but it's still really tough.

And the NFL players are asking a lot of questions why the turf can't stay.

This is probably the best resource. Has a few in-house stories as well as links to other media.
