The World Cup is fun as hell. Will miss it.

OK, time to wake Trump up from his nap.

 

[HanSenSE]

Well deserved.

What are they thinking in Cabo Verde?

John Strong needed a Jim Nantz like sentence after the final whistle.

Spain isn’t a sexy team but they had the defense and the up and down quality. They were just straight dominant. Better team won

Of w you don’t think that wasn’t exciting, I’ve got nothing for you

Just like Argentina's offense.

The entire tournament was a blast. But today was like tuning in for the CFP final and watching the Independence Bowl. Especially after how exciting and how much fun and exciting the second half of the third-place game was.

I'll miss not being able to watch great games most days, but I sure won't miss all the contrived commercials.

Exciting enough for me. Of course, I like pitchers’ duels, too.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Glad Spain won. Argentina’s ****housery against better teams was insufferable.

Paredes got a second yellow after the match ended, BTW.

Well deserved.

What are they thinking in Cabo Verde?

Grudge match, winner-take-all next week in Praia?

 

[HanSenSE]

No shots on goal for the Argies. One of the most astounding stats I've seen in a title game in any sport.

Watching them in this tournament, it was like watching the soccer equivalent of the '85 Bears or 2000 Ravens. Swarming and relentless, and not giving opponents any room to breathe.
I guess it's not everybody's cup of tea as far as style, but even myself as a drive by watcher could appreciate and applaud it.

The boos disappeared quickly as he waddled onto the pitch.

Please tell us that someone not named a network owned by Rupert Murdoch has the correct sound ...

 

[Neutral Corner]

The boos disappeared quickly as he waddled onto the pitch.

Glad I missed it then.

Do the VAR officials get medals? Are they FedEx-ed to them?

We'll review this and get back to you.

Wise to put the Mexican president between Trump and Carney
