World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

Is there some other geopolitical joke I’m missing? There are no more host countries left.

The child rapist war criminal is threatening to bomb FIFA HQ because all of the Belgian goals were scored by players who aren't from the United States. Therefore the goals shouldn't count.

"America won if you only count the goals scored by Americans."

I don’t know what Telemundo paid, but they’ve got some very low budget ads for the World Cup. The best are the products who advertise entirely in English.

But it’s been great being entrenched in the language the last month. Just listening to the games has helped a ton on comprehension. Andres Cantor is a treasure to listen to, especially when Argentina is playing.

I love Telemundo. I haven’t watched any other channel for the World Cup. And his call when Argentina tied and then took the lead, lol. Dude was so hoarse and kept going.

It’s funny article. Both faux and Telemundo are around the 5 mil viewers. And the article says that if faux gets the English speaking audience, it would be millions more. Let’s do the math-20% of 5M is 1M. Which is on the high side. I guess you pluralize a word when it’s a fraction of one, too.

The sentence is correct.

It didn't say it would bring in millions more per match. It said, "millions more viewers throughout the span of the World Cup." Which is true.

If this is what I am listening to on Peacock it's great. I have no Spanish so I get the emotion without having to listen to any derp.

I had apparently edited my memory selectively to have Mexico beat England. The Times regrets the error.

Sí, senor.

Just saw the Egypt goal that was disallowed. Yeah, that's a bullshit use of VAR. I was thinking it was a foul on the goalie or something, not something that happened all the way back on the other side of the field.

I haven't seen any of this, but would the foul in question normally have stopped the pace of play?

Prob won't do any good,

Only to the extent that any foul that is called results in a free kick. It was outside the box on the other side of the field, was not even a yellow card, and wasn't called on the field.

Not in this World Cup. The refs haven't called much. That they would use VAR to rule out that goal is ridiculous.

Ok - then yeah that's awful.
