Tanking for some, load management for others. The World Cup goes full NBA in game #3.

Did you really just post an MSN article in 2026?

Yes i did. It's a Wall Street Journal article, but that's behind a paywall.

Would much rather face Algeria than Austria if neither Bosnia nor Qatar qualifies.

The article has it backwards. Both countries will be trying to win in order to get Spain instead of having to face the US.

Forty-four years later, however, there is little to stop Algeria and Austria making no actual effort to win the match. The Disgrace of Kansas City could be on the way.


Great, the one game I'm actually going to

Stupid article. The most likely outcome even yesterday was 3rd place from group B being the matchup.

That is the Florioization of media. You look at an event with several possible outcomes. You pick the one outcome that is the most chaotic or advances your own personal agenda and go with it as if it's set in stone. That's how Mike Florio covers the NFL.
