World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

Before Balogun was reinstated:
"Best World Cup ever!"

After:
"Worst World Cup ever!"

After Argentina score 3 in 12 minutes to take the lead in ET:
"Best World Cup ever!"

Before Balogun was reinstated:
"This US team is fun and exciting."

After:
"Well that sucks, corruption ruins their moment."

After Argentina score 3 in 12 minutes to take the lead in ET:
"Was the US even in this tournament?"

The US was shining. Dump sleazed it. The US still had the chance to stand or fall with dignity by holding him off. They embraced the sleaze and became part of it. Karma. Oblivion.

And now we have an interesting final 8 which has no more geopolitics, just regular style corruption, and a host country can still win it all.

Is there some other geopolitical joke I’m missing? There are no more host countries left.
 
Sport unites the world!

...sometimes....
 
I'm was surprised you didn't say Israel responded by killing the Egyptian football squad.

They're putting on a cut rate revival of the Holocaust in Gaza and Lebanon, no reason they can't do a crappy Munich as well.

Stare into the abyss, and...
 
Told that bombing Belgium wasn't an option, the child rapist war criminal took out his anger on the Iranians and attacked more than 80 sites and reimposed sanctions, declaring the ceasefire "over."

Hows that Peace Prize looking now, Gianni?

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.

Fox should have thought of that before they paid for the broadcast rights. Complaining now is just sour grapes.

They don't like people like me either, who switch off during their commercial breaks. About 3% of viewers tune out for hydration breaks.

Saturday's QF will be my last with Fox. I'll be switching over to Telemundo for the last four games.

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.

I wish I knew this was an option, as I would have watched the telemundo coverage, too. More knowledge of the sport, more passion, and I am trying to learn more Spanish. Even better that it misses all of the faux ads- which are laced with a lot of political themes.

But the irony of a “business friendly” channel not wanting competition. Hilarious. Make your coverage better, faux.

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.
