I'm surprised you didn't mention how incredibly pops it is that neither of them are even on the same continent as the game being played.

That doesn't really surprise me anymore, I'm used to broadcasters only sending a pitchside journalist down for the group stage and have their onsite commentators only follow them down for the playoffs.

Twenty-five dollars and a six pack to my name

I'm cursed with Fox as the only stream I have available that reliably works and the commentary is so awful. Like across the board between all their commentary teams it's just bad. They got a main commentator doing monologues while running through a checklist of things to mention like the history of a certain player, the statistics of the teams playing, a little talk about the next matchup etc. And its all delivered in a very monotone but "This Is Actually The Most Important Information I Will Ever Say" style of newscaster voice. While the expert commentator has more inflection and is allowed to actually talk about what is currently happening, but the interplay between the two is nonexistent. It's like they're not allowed to have a dialogue or chemistry.

Viaplay has it if you're in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe. That's how I'm watching it.

Spoiler alert: it will be a long half for Zambia

E: Japan #9 needs to run laps after this game for wasting that beautiful through ball and not keeping it 5-0.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
