Not sure if people will want a separate Men’s and Women’s thread or not, but soccer starts tomorrow morning.

US plays France at 2:00pm et I believe for men’s soccer.

I did not expect to see Julian Alvarez on Argentina’s team

Also, +15?

Did someone die in the second half?

Yeah. It was right at the end too. Like 14:55 or something.

Ended up being at 15:24. I didn’t watch the full game so I’m not gonna complain about the 15 minutes. I will say it sounds like a lot though

Watched the entire game and there was no justification for it. No idea how the ref came up with 15.

There was at least 1-2 pitch invasions and every time the wind shifting Morocco went down. The initial 15 may have been much but with amount of flopping in stoppage time no doubt the game would have been still going on even if just 10 was given. From what I see, the game was attempted to be restarted but because Morocco was throwing fireworks at the Argentine players and running on to the field the ref had to suspend the game.

Absolutely insane to call that offsides 2 hours later and require the team to come back after the Argentine players were literally being assaulted with firecrackers. That should be a forfeit for the Moroccan team, not a return to play.

Olympics officials + VAR sounds like a recipe for major corruption.

At this point I kind of want to see what happens with Moroccan fans and French Fans if they play.

US played well. Win the next two games and get through.

Definitely need to finish their chances and defend the entire game unlike they did today if they want to advance through the knockouts

This is the U23 team, but I did not think he looked good. As soon as Olise got that ball on his left foot I knew we were in trouble.

Actually felt like we played ok, just didn’t capitalize on our chances and France did.

As far as the Morocco game, I legit thought the announcer in our game was an idiot saying Morocco won when Argentina scored at the end of extra time. Little did I know what all happened
