88 k attendance for Argentina - Mexico, which is the highest attendance for a WC match since the final in 1994 

Can't say for the rest, but the goal actually ruined the life of the Bulgarian assistant referee. People stopped talking to him then, the BG Football Union allegedly asked him to pay to continue refereeing. At his funeral in 2017 only a small group of people went and there was no actual acknowledgement by the football union, even though he was an actual player before that. He was forgotten by everyone after that match. He has also said, that he saw the hand in real time, but the rules at that time were, that the assistants can't signal or communicate with the head referee unless directly asked by him.

Half time at the game, so i switched to Eurosport, because i remember, that alpine should be happening now. But surprise, surprise, there is no alpine event going on 

Remember before the WC when it was made a big deal, that there will be female referees, just to have them all as 4th officials and barely noticeable

Now that was a brilliant goal  Our commentator went completely bananas, praising everything Brazilian from the Amazon, to the beaches, to the carnival, but especially the football. 

Do you want to sleep on the couch? 

Of course we do, this is not Macedonia.  Everyone here is for Serbia, because they are "brothers". Plus they have a cool team this time.

I'm not sure, if Ronaldo was more angry at the conceded goal or the celebration afterwards.  Knowing his brattiness probably the second. 

I'm still sticking to my prediction of a Spain - Belgium final. Belgium is going to honor Italy and in their absence will cruise through with tactical 1:0 wins and draws. Bookmark this reply for December 18th 

I'm beginning to think Sikazwe was strategically picked for this match to try and crack Canada's good guys demeanor  

Now, now, we all know you go there on weekends to get chocolate 

Two very excited Canadians said they will beat Belgium 3:0 .  Very cool dudes though, one of the best fan interviews BNT has done so far, though our host roasted them, that this wasn't the ice hockey WC after all.  

Shhht, this is now history 

Wrong, Spain are my favourites for the title, so they are staying for some time.

Canada fielding white people, they are really desperate now  

While 32 is the perfect number for me, growing to 40 would have been somewhat acceptable. But 48 is too much and on top of that they butchered the distribution list as per usual.

That was no offside, the Belgium player returned the ball..
