I didn't realize that Bushwood was an Egypt soccer fan. Glad he has time to work on twitter content outside of football season.

I didn't realize that Bushwood was an Egypt soccer fan Part 2...yet there are people that will read that first tweet and believe it.
And the tweet in the post before it showed every close call in the match that went against Egypt, and another 10 calls that were obviously right that it's also trying to claim were wrong. It's Bushwood 101.
I thought it was well officiated. Clear foul on Egypt to spring their great counterattack - the guy stepped right on his foot which caused him to lose the ball. Not Argentina’s fault that the official blew the call and VAR had to step in.
Then, Salah dispossessed at the edge of the box before he got impeded. Clear no call.
Man, to beat Argentina you’ve got to shoot them, then stab them, then encase them in concrete. They come back from the dead better than Jason Vorhees

No, but I just saw online that it’s 0-0 at the half and that Mbappe missed on a penalty kick.
The tight space dribbling from both teams is so impressive. This is one glowing shortfall when you watch the USMNT.
France did get away with a bit of a push on this play, but VAR decided it wasn't enough of a push to be worthy of a call.
I don’t want a fluke team to win. All my English friends are begging for France to be knocked out because they know how good they are. As good as England is, France on all cylinders is too much for them and others
France is just on another level...doesn't mean they can't lose but I'll be surprised when/if they do
Yup. Blame Paraguay all you want for their negative approach but trying to play with France is a recipe for disaster.
It’s like Euro teams trying to run and gun with Team USA in bball. Not a good idea
Is Spain a threat? I don't think they have the offense to quickly and consistently score like France. Watching Spain, Lamine Yamal (18 y/o) gets all the pub but I think their unsung key player is Marc Cucurella. He"s always "mixing it up" around the ball, is reliable centering the ball and is solid on corner kicks, along with good speed. I like how he plays.
España isn’t as dynamic as Frankreich. Neither is Argentina. Frankreich has too many weapons.
Spain matches up well with France and has had some success against them in recent games. They could definitely win one game against France, as could Argentina who can’t seem to be killed. But France looks really strong and is justifiably the favorite. I see England as a level below those three teams.
France does have more weapons than any team in the World Cup. Barring an implosion, they should be in the final and are certainly favored to win it all.
Spain should take care of Belgium. We will see how far away we are from a team like Spain. Then it should be Spain vs France in the final but that is a semi. That will be a good one to see. I will take France.
On the other side I see Argentina having a little bit more than the Swiss. I can see England choking vs Norway, a real toss up in my mind. I guess I will take the Brits to get a big win and erase some curses. I think they run out of steam and Messi is more clutch than Kane in the semis.
In the end I see it being France vs Argentina and France wins it.

Hard to hate him...even as a United fan. Funny, humble, and centered......just a good human.
There some times when you wish everyone got a free punch/fight without penalty. It would have been satisfying to see Haaland dump that punk on his head
A good human, yep. I’ve seen some content about Haaland being nice to everyone, no matter who it is.
Edit: I just now saw a commercial featuring Usain Bolt, another very very nice human.
My only beef with Erling is that he was too good for Dortmund’s budget.
Loosely translates: If you always carry your opponent, you’ll never be offside.
