What a ride it was. Congratulations to Spain. We go again in 2030.

1/3 This World Cup has been the bedrock of many memories for me—from the rousing national anthem in the Americans' opener against Paraguay to both of Raúl's goals to Cape Verde's run and that goal against Argentina to witnessing France beat Paraguay with my own eyes in Philadelphia...
Add another four years to England's collective delusion.
A team can't play 80 minutes with their talisman striker playing a no. 5 and win.
Unmarked?!? How is that possible with 8 thousand defenders on the pitch?
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHHHAAAHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
I dunno man. Those Argentinian players leaned into singing their national anthem so hard that it kinda creeped me out.
Boos everywhere for the national anthems. Wow...England's is totally ridiculous anyway, so I guess it partly fits.🇦🇷🏴
Outclassed from strategy to tactics to execution. Spotting Spain a goal on a penalty — from a position where both your options were liabilities — killed this early. And Spain have played a classic sneaky tournament, waiting for the semi-final to really come into their own.

France has to figure something out...and quick. They're on skates right now.
Are people actually upset that Embolo got sent off? That was one of the worst simulations I've ever seen. And I genuinely want Switzerland to win!
