Yeah, he scored 2 early and they were all trying to get him the hat trick. Mbappe and Haaland too. They want to match Messi. If Messi hadn't missed the penalty kick vs Austria he'd have hat tricks in both games. Guy is amazing.

Norway’s “Viking Row” celebration has taken the internet by storm as the World Cup continues heating up. Now, the celebration has invaded stadiums.

FIFA being fifa and letting Messi and Argentina do whatever. The amount of PK’s argentina have received in the last 2 world cups is insane. Some calls going srgentinas way were ridiculous… Ghana should have had a pk yesterday, and Pickford should have gotten a red also… it’s just insane
Was there also… Senegal actually looked better and quicker than Norway, but Senegal made too many horrible mistakes with the ball and Norway has Haaland. Senegal gifted the first goal to Norway right before the end of the first half…

Also Messi’s first goal should have never counted, he also probably shouldn’t have been in the game because of his foul he committed against Algeria…
Norways defense limits how far they can go. Round of 16 appears limit. Do want to see Haaland play as long as possible.
100% Ghana should have 6pts and be on top of group today.
You know if that situation was reversed England would have been awarded a PK
Senegal is very naturally gifted. Speed, agility, athleticism. But yeah, they cant put it together. They are also in a tough draw with Norway and France.
I don't want the US to play them in the rd of 32
Honestly im not sure how good Norway actually is.. Haaland is the team… I wasn’t impressed with them at all.
I disagree. Odegaard is a phenomenal talent. He had a poor match in game 1, and showed better in game 2. Haaland is a beast and his confidence, reminds me of Norways ultra xcountry star Klaebo, but having his dynamic mid play very well, is the way for the Norse to advance a few rounds.
Norway tied Morocco 1-1 in their last friendly at Red Bulls stadium. I attended and it was a very even match. Norway had one other goal taken away for a foul

USMNT to face Bosnia-Herzegovina in Round of 32 at World Cup
The USMNT’s Round of 32 opponent had been all but official since Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Qatar. But Thursday night, it became official.

I can’t help but think the USMNT is a Tim Howard and Oguchi Onyewu away from being a legit contender this World Cup at home. In reality they probably need more depth on their bench which was evident last night.
I agree and he is the starter. Just got rested like the rest of the starters vs Turkiye. The high number of goals allowed were mostly a result of a weak backline bench defensive unit but I don't feel confident in Turner either.
Excuse me, I meant Turner, I feel more comfortable with Turner back there. And agreed on the goals conceded not being the fault of the goalies, but poor backline play.
I saw Spain play for the third game against Uruguay. This is not the Spain team we expected. Clearly, Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Rodri are not fully fit. Probably at 75%. Spain is lacking that speed on the wings that led to direct attacks and opened up the middle of the pitch.
Moreover, the lineups the manager has put in have me scratching my head. Danny Olmo needs to be starting every game. Zubimendi ahould start instead of Rodri. Yes I know he is a ballon d Or player but he is not that player right now.
i am not sure this team will get better with all these health issues. My final game will be in LA. Hopefully, these players will get better and return to full health.
btw, as bad as Spain played, Uruguay played worse and then turned into thugs in the second half just looking to hurt the Spanish players. Disgraceful display by Uruguay.

Thats because Canada finished 2nd in their group. If they had finished 1st their next games would have been in Canada
What was questionable about the overturned goals? They were close, sure, but also correct.
The announcers also made sure to explain this about 10-15 times throughout the game.
I dont know everything but what I do know is always correct and right. I would advise to stop obsessing over a poster and their posts.
Netherlands and Morocco has been tight defensive battle. Morocco putting pressure on in second half.
Shocking day of soccer as both Germany and the Netherlands go down today. Whats more shocking is that the Dutch were dominated in possession by Morroco. I didn’t see that coming. Morroco deserved the win but just shocked how the Dutch played.
Germany on the other hand was clearly the better team. Paraguay played to get to PKs where anything can happen.

Netherlands like you said, didn’t impress and once Morocco got the late goal to tie, you could feel the upset. Very impressive win by them.
