If the Federal government isn't responsible to protect a state from attacks by a foreign enemy then why does it even exist? Apparently its job is to start wars and leave the American people to fend for themselves when it comes to defense.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

The MAGA, anti-immigrant, protectionist trade tribe and the liberal, eat the rich, billionaires are inherently evil tribe share a foundational assumption. Both are driven by a scarcity mindset and the fear that the prosperity of the "other" will deprive me of what is "rightfully mine".

The Oddessy did not disappoint.

This tournament just keeps getting better.

Bogus call. Messi factor.

Awful shootout from Australia. Missed 2 of 4 high and 1 of the 2 that did go in was quite poor as well. Only worked because the keeper blind guessed the wrong way.

Baller move by Saleh kicking it right where the keeper is standing knowing he's going to guess and dive.

Somehow missing that first penalty way high like that feels worse coming from a center back.

I feel bad for Senegal but that was a penalty and this tournament needed a 2 goal comeback and we didn't need another shootout to decide a first round knockout game. Plus, if the USMNT does its job tonight a chance to get revenge for 2014 could be sweet.

This should be a penalty.

Not counting chickens but extra time here is good for the winner of tonight's match.

Let's go Belgium. Get another. I think I'd rather see them for the USMNT in the next round, especially if they have to play 30 extra minutes today.

Morocco deserved to win but it's a shame this Dutch team is already out. I think they've been a top 5 or 6 team in this tournament.

Never seen a keeper kick it in post save like that on a penalty.

That is a gruesome head injury.

This ref is saving his cards for when the players start using weapons.

Colombia needs to stop settling for these ambitious shots from well outside the box.

This team is pretty darn good but even more so this team is fun and easy to root for.

That was a penalty.

Honestly the dullest match of the World Cup I have watched so far. Disappointing follow up from England.

That was 100% a foul on Pickford.

Senegal showing their frustration settling for all these wishful shots from distance.

Live look at the Trump administration doubling down on the Washington Mall reflecting pool as a major issue.

Argentina could easily have 3 or 4 yellow cards by now if they weren't getting the benefit of the doubt on everything.

Much more satisfying record breaking goal than the PK would have been. Great finish by Messi but a great TEAM goal as well.

New Zealand not getting any help from this ref.

Hate to admit it but these sloppy World Cup matches are way more fun.

You can't start in an offside position on a set piece like that. Terribly sloppy from Sweden.

Good things happen when you get skilled attackers passing the ball around your opponent's goal.

Will get overshadowed by all the other insanity but why did Fox try to shoot that layup with 10 seconds left instead of trying to dribble out the clock and forcing them to foul him?
