Japan up 2-1 on Spain now. Crazy.

And CR even with Germany. If they can win that game, they could actually eliminate Spain, despite being beaten by them 7-0 in their opener.
 
I'm so confused by that 2nd Japan goal....OUT OF BOUNDS! And they even reviewed it for 10 minutes. HOLY SHIT!
 
Wondering if Spain threw that game to get a more favorable matchup in the first round (and eliminate Germany).

Their bball team certainly does this kinda shit. Wouldn't surprise me if their football team did too

If the video review team was ALL Germans, I’d say you have a point.
 
Uruguay appears to be taking care of business this morning, but as we know, things can turn on a dime. If SK does to Portugal (who gain nothing by not losing today) what Japan did to Spain yesterday, then Uruguay will need to win by at least 3 in order to advance.

If that was the goal line, thats a goal if I'm not mistaken. What a weird rule.

Actually it's the same rule for the goal line. I think you go with the call on the field as there is not evidence on video to overturn it.

What’s this? Some magic left in the tank!?!?
 
Man, I didn’t expect them to win, tough game. Maybe after playing together for 4 more years, this young squad will come back stronger.
 
Sorry Yanks, you gave it your all.

Can't really feel too good, because Leeds did everything in their power to sign Cody Gakpo this past transfer window, and apparently were "99.9%" there when PSV Eindhoven backed out unexpectedly. Now his price has gone through the roof and he'll never be a Leeds player.

I agree. Future looking good for the US; and after those 4 years we will be joint hosting it. Reason to look forward to the 2026 World Cup for sure.

You’re a Leeds United fan?
 
This is gonna always be the fate for USA teams until they get better athletes into the programs earlier on. Just no interest in the country on the mens side for the youth to build a stronger roster.

I disagree. We’re seeing better and better athletes playing soccer every year. MLS is helping grow the sport here. We’ll be a tough out in ‘26.

Didn’t watch it. But I can see Biden accidentally dropping the ball over and over until the photography team hands it to him and tells him to just hold it with two hands.

But just imagine if the last president tweeted about the World Cup. Imagine how many racist remarks would have been used.
