    Yeah, in today’s second-half stoppage time we had a goal and I think two separate stoppages for substitutes, maybe three. I completely understand the frustration and confusion we’re seeing. I file it under “There’s not a damn thing I can do about it so I focus on the parts I like.” Edit One...

    Yes, very rarely am I surprised by the timing of the final whistle of the half. Once Spain scored you knew a couple more minutes were going to be added. I suppose the whole concept of stoppage time is difficult for casual fans to fully grasp, but I myself rarely have issues with it.

    Yeah, exactly my take. Thank God Spain scored, this match wasn't providing much excitement.

    I came in late, and this particular play was the first real chance I saw. It’s never been easier to play “Spot the 41-year-old,” sorry, but it’s true.

    I love Bruno but Spain will prevail. #FIFAcorrupt

    I’m curious to see if England challenges the one-game suspension mandated by the red card last night. We shall see. #FIFAcorrupt. Edit I’m surely not the first to ask, I did not check. Apologies.

    When someone tells you to “show out”, what do you do?

    A common lipreading mistake!

    I watched the highlights again and noticed that Haaland’s volley never hit the ground. Dang.

    I was thinking of your earlier post about Pickford while I was watching the highlights this morning. 👍🏻

    I just got back from a 10/10 workout, at my age this happens maybe once a month. So I’m good, thanks. And I got a “We are!” in the locker room, always nice! I wear my Penn State sweatshirt to the gym, I gotta represent.

    A nice result to wake up to. (I don’t watch the late matches, as doing so ruins my sleep.)

    Early in the first half Brazil was breaking like crazy, full out sprints by 3-4 players. I guess it got to them. The first 15 or so minutes Brazil was on fire. I guess they couldn’t keep it up.
