best match I've seen in years!
If someone told a French fan that they would score 4 goals in a half, their next response would probably be: damn, how much did we win by?
Still processing the notion of a 30 minute halftime/halftime show
Verdict - stupid

I have a really good friend who is British, who is back in London for a few weeks. He was having a stroke in our group text yesterday over the comeback by the French.
Any booing happen today? I saw an article that the fan's of both countries intended to boo during the star spangled banner.
90 minutes and Argentina hadn't taken a shot on goal doesn't thrill you?
I can take low scoring, just that Argentina hasn’t done anything at all. The players are whiners.
This is exactly what I thought it would be...
Ugh...
Just skip to pens

I couldn't tell but that is a part of our culture. We always do it for big games.
All the game playing and extracurricular nonsense is exhausting.
20-0 on shots is crazy.
This and the whining... But, some people enjoy the theatrics, and some view them as part of the strategy and tactics of the game.
Imagine Trump having to present the World Cup trophy to a team that speaks Spanish???
Alrighty...back to not caring for a few years. Fun tournament though. The faking injuries really makes it tough to watch. Lost today, but generally did pretty well betting this tournament.

He has to present the trophy to a country he's been trashing because they won't jump into his war in Iran. 2 weeks ago he was threatening Spain again with massive tariffs even though we have a trade surplus with them.
“Some of us don’t like your government too much because they never support us, but your team played a great game today. We like winners even if your leaders are losers.”
Underwhelming final but what a tournament. Nothing compares to the World Cup
Spain also refuses to meet its NATO expenditure requirements, per the Euro freeloading tradition.
That was a 1-0 curb stomp.
Trump has no business standing there. Freaking clown.
Why does Trump have to go to all these events on our dime? World Cup, Superbowl, NBA Finals, NASCAR, MMA.
Trump has gotten us into a $150 billion war, $4 gas, dead troops, a broken economy, rising inflation, and a totally broken down jobs market.
Taking million dollar sports vacations is basically sh tting all over real Americans who are struggling.

Can you imagine the tension in the VIP box with Trump, Spain's PM and President and Mark Carney all together in a small space? 
Up to 64 teams in 4 years. Watch the trends in group stage i.e. the draws, the "to nils", the "BTTS", the comeback to win, and bet accordingly. In this WC if you had bet every group game to draw, you'd be up like 50 units (because of the odds). You can carry the over to knockouts to an extent.
Good luck, in 4 years, and remember we are only 6 weeks to the kickoff of college football!
We have all seen the meme of the dude breaking his TV because he was mad at his team.
Today, I experienced that meme.
My 8 yo daughter wanted Messi to win. Someone who was hardly paying attention to the game.
Well, she decided to take a pan from her play kitchen and throw it at the tv after Spain scored in extra time.
Can't make this up...
