I think Argentina's gonna do it, but this has been an incredible final and France getting to this point with all of the injuries and illnesses they've had to get through is nuts.

it's too early in the morning for me to have to listen to Alexi Lalas American football this up.

"I'll do a Spider-Man movie but only if it's about the Hypno-Hustler" feels like Donald Glover bluffing Sony and them calling him on it. Very excited for this ridiculous idea.

should've whistled louder I guess

This article about Mike Leach's QB meetings at WSU is a tremendous read.

oh jeez Harry

France coming up with a new and novel way to self-implode four years after a great World Cup, huh?

His last tweet was about Netherlands' equalizer. This is awful.

"Hey Al, want to say you're at an award show for a medium you barely understand and get a big check for it?"

It wasn't, at least not relative to what they spent on it. To be honest I thought about seeing it a bunch of times and every single time I just didn't have enough interest to leave my house for it. The ad campaigns didn't tell me a single thing about the movie other than "Black Adam is cool and doesn't play by the rules and the JSA, who are not as cool and do play by the rules, are also in this movie."

I don't know if I've seen a national team take penalties this collectively bad before. What a shame.

Kind of rolling my eyes at that article, in its own way it feels like it's trying too hard, but there's no doubt that Fox's coverage has been really awful as it always is. Pairing Ian Darke with Landon Donovan, having Landon Donovan on commentary at all, is an outrageously bad decision. Anyway yay, Japan.

well okay so the problem isn't just the lack of a goalscorer, eesh.

The Agony and the Ecstasy of Haji Wright apparently. What the fuck?

oh jeez.

Yeah, I think that's it. The work for the next four years is finding someone who can reliably score goals at this level, I think.

On the Pulisic front it's so funny that they insist on calling him Captain America when he is not the captain and from what I've seen decidedly not the best player on the team. He's more of a U.S. Agent, really.

The good news is this US team definitely feels like they'll have chances to equalize. The bad news is their whole group stage felt like "oh, if their finishing was better they'd have scored."

So wild that a player I got to watch in the US second division in front of a crowd of like a thousand people a few years ago was just part of the backline that held Brazil to zero goals in the World Cup. Hell yeah, Nouhou.

That is one of the funniest red card reactions I've seen.

Subbing Suarez out early is a decision that's going to haunt Uruguay. Also not starting De Arrasceta before now. EDIT: Hahahahaha god Uruguay are absolute heels to the very end.

Yeah I made the mistake of clicking through on Twitter to see a hashtag and it was a lot of accounts being either blatantly homophobic or blatantly racist in celebrating Germany going out. On a related note, boy, I guess that's what happens when an already not-great site gets rid of most of its content moderation team!

Ball don't lie I guess. I want Argentina to win but I don't buy that as a penalty at all.
