Seeing Harry Kane block that shot makes me think of alleged GOATs who DON'T play defense and only hunt scores

Thinking of a different sport

England could win it all. Their team is really dangerous this cycle.

The Three Lions attacking depth is insane and unlike Southgate Tuchel seems willing to not park the bus after taking a lead. I think Guehi needs to start. The speed they have throughout the team is going to be hard to match.

Yep. If World Cups were won on paper, England would have about 10.

They have one. Sixty years ago.

Can't decide if I want Panama, Ghana or a giant meteor to win.

I'm leaning towards the meteor.

Peter Crouch looks like a homeless meth addict.

Skimming through the Portugal game, I can't believe that smackdown in extra time wasn't a straight red card. The commentating was hilarious. Straight up called the "rules expert" out on his bullshite. Wish our commentators did that more often.

There’s a new law in force for this tournament. Subs have 10 seconds to leave the field or their team plays down a man for 60 seconds.

I don’t remember the opponent, but Japan scored during that 60 second period in one of the pre tournament friendlies.

I thought it was straight red at first but he didn’t really move his arm very far to get it done, was a very orange card for me especially since the other defenders could have recovered

Love that its raining in Toronto. The larger mass of America will see the conditions that the game was designed to be played.

The betting odds went from +135 Ghana
+200 Panama

To both being +170 already with panama looking like the more dangerous team
