2-0 for roosters. Game over.

Dari should have been booked twice already

Probably means France scores next

Hernandez scores after 5 mins. So much for France having trouble.

Btw, the American journalist Grant Wahl who collapsed during Argentina vs Netherlands died ot aortic aneurysm. Autopsy was done in New York so the rumours spread by his brother that he was killed proved to be completely false

Tatis is set to be the most overpaid player or what? 340 million for a full-time DH? It looks like Mets are loading up the bullpen alright, swapping oft-injured deGrom for Verlander makes sense plus adding this Japanese pitcher but it's still all-in for the next two seasons, they could really bottom out in 2025. Correa to Giants is well... second rate deal. Correa was never the real Alpha #1 with Astros and don't get me wrong, he's a great player but I don't see him as the main carrier esp. that Giants are in the Dodgers division etc.

Messi doing the best Maradona impression for sure. Let's hope Morocco has anything left in the tank for the second SF

US Olympic Committee wants Russians & Belarussians competing as neutrals so yeah, forget about any boycotts https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20221212-us-chiefs-back-neutral-russian-athletes-at-paris-olympics

Al-Jassim was the referee for USA vs Wales. The referee from UAE is more experienced though so he should get the main gig rather than 4O.

Lahoz was never getting another game after QF even if he didn't completely suck. Here is the second list of retained refs: AFC: al-Jassim (QAT), Muhammad (UAE) -CAF: Ghorbal (ALG) -CONCACAF: Ramos (MEX), Elfath (USA) -CONMEBOL: Claus (BRA), Sampaio (BRA), Valenzuela (VEN) -UEFA: Taylor (ENG), Orsato (ITA) Makkelie (NED), Marciniak (POL) Makkelie or Marciniak will get the FRA vs MOR semi-final and Cesar Ramos probably gets the final IMO. The AFC refs will work the 3rd place playoff (one as 4O).

Typical woke shit from US media. Thankfully Americans will never convince anyone they know more about soccer than the rest of the world so nobody should give a hoot. Do they even know half of Argentina's population has Italian ancestry?

It's farfetched they would choose Asian or African referee for this one. Barton is a long shot for the other SF, media in Poland still claim Marciniak has a chance for that one but I don't buy it. My money is on Makkelie for France vs Morocco with a non-UEFA referee for the 3rd place playoff.

Daniele Orsato is chosed as referee for Argentina vs Croatia SF.

Another 4th place for Abigail Strate

Two wins in a row for Holdener Aronsson Elfman PB in 4th with fastest 2nd run time but the course really cut up in the last sector for the last runners. Ljutic 7th & Colturi 25th

Moltzan, Ljutic & Swenn-Larsson losing over 0,9 sec in the last sector alone

Colturi in 30th place after SL 1st run, Ljutic in 6th place.

8th place for Slovenia despite 2 penlaty loops, Lampic's skiing was still worth it. Norway miles behind the best despite good shooting and US skiing extremely bad to barely beat Poland with Sidorowicz two loops on the last shooting.

@LarajaIn addition to Brazil vs Czechoslovakia in 1962 there was West Germany vs Hungary in 1954 as well

Chris Waddle style

Hernandez is a complete idiot

Old man Giroud vs three defenders. 2-1 for roosters.

Tchouameni scores! Funny what happens when you shoot from outside the box...
