To be fair, I've seen alot of the non regulars embrace the game more. I think atmosphere is helping. None of these people gave a shite about the Qatar world cup til the final

I'm an irregular watcher of soccer... I think what's also happening is there seems to be a lot of scoring happening in this tournament... seemingly very few 0-0 & 1-0 scorelines

It may be somewhat on average more than I'm being led to believe... just the perception to me

Can we please stop putting Donovan on to call these games. I can't stand him.

He only missed that header b/c he's bald

If he had hair... it's a goal

Hot damn

Senegal has life in stoppage time

Norway has a D tier defense and an S tier attack. They are going to the quarterfinals or losing a shocker in the Round of 32

Is Mane in witness protection?

Senegal needs to beat the shite out of Iraq to go through

France & Norway will both represent Group I in the knockout stage after both get wins... France a 3-0 winner over Iraq & Norway a 3-2 winner over Senegal

Both are now on 6 points, setting up a winner wins the group match on match day 3 (a draw would favor France as it currently holds the edge in goal differential, +5 to +4.)

Senegal & Iraq enter their match day 3 match with both needing a win & help to advance to the knockout round as both sit on 0 points with Senegal with a -3 GD & Iraq at -6

Ah, cool. I just got home from work and get to watch the last game. I hope it's a good one!!

Looking it up now:

Jordan vs. Algeria
