SA was better alltogether.

Is this a record for yellow cards? 

Not at this tournament yet. We've had a couple of games with 6 YC so far.

The overall record is 16 YC and 4 RC in Holland vs Portugal in 2006.

VAR penalty for Saudi Arabia...

Zieliński scores!!!

Today I found out that assistant coaches can get booked too.

Happens all the time in club matches in the last 5 years or so. Anyone on the bench can be booked or send off, assistants, reserves or masseuses. Previously only red cards on the bench were shown like Caniggia in 2002.

Cash got lucky with that elbow wasn't even a foul. Instead a yellow for Saudi Arabia. Sampaio kinda cranks up the card average already.

Kiwior & Cash booked after 16 mins already. Krychowiak probably next

Looks like Australia is gassed now... 10 minutes remaining.

squad for the Saudi Arabia match. Three changes, Milik, Frankowski & Bielik are in, Zalewski, Szymański & Kamiński are out. We will play with two strikers so maybe the bus gets parked in a different place this time

I wonder if Maryna gets her first world cup podium this season. I would love to see that .

 

and i wonder how this young girl representing Albania performs.

This young girl is Daniela Ceccarelli's daughter

Duke scores!

Anze Lanisek with his 2nd career victory - on the same Ruka hill he won last year. Giovanni Bresadola with another PB in 11th and Fatih Arda Ipcioglu in 29th and WC points.

You have been saying "Nobody watches" for years now, yet apparently people are still watching. I know I will, no less than before. Cross-country skiing  

I stopped watching this sport full-time around after 2014. Even cricket has more nations winning these days. I only watch cc skiing at World Champs or Olympics. The countless sprints just wear me out and I never liked the distance mass starts. But hey, this is what TV wants. 10 km mass starts are truly the dumbest idea ever but hey, if you enjoy them then go ahead and watch. For me it's a complete waste of time.

Another 0:0?

 

Is this the 5th one? Maybe an all-time record already?

The record is seven (1982, 2006, 2010, 2014). Even the much-maligned Italia 1990 only had five goalless draws.

naaa...the great Alexi Lalas was the real boss 

Lalas had the hairstyle but I remember Wynalda from the Bundesliga. Him & Thomas Dooley.

Have to say Pulisic is way more overrated than Landon Donovan as "leader" of the US soccer. And I remember when Eric Wynalda was the "leader"

They are handing points to Top 50 skiers now? Woah. Guess FIS really has no ideas how to even pretend cross country is competitive anymore. With 12 Norwegians and 8 Swedes crowding out the Top 30 on a daily basis I guess they threw a bone for the minnows who can "celebrate" winning 2 points for 49th place. What a joke

@hckošiceBurma was literally the last colony to declare independence from the British Raj IIRC.

McKennie needs a better hair dye. There is no beige on the US flag

Apparently the referee from has shown 9 red cards in his last ten league games McKennie & Dest better look out...

1-1. Bad result for Senegal who need to beat Ecuador now.

Only two shots for Holland all match and one on target. They ain't doing shit in this World Cup - even if they play Iran/USA in R16.

Has Depay done anything since coming off the bench?

Mendes suspended for the Senegal game.

Ecuador hits the bar moments later...
