it's also the middle of most leagues' seasons so more random injuries than you'd normally see during the summer

Did all those leagues put their seasons on hold, as I assume they did? This WC must be causing havoc with scheduling and off-season lengths

I feel Japan Spain is the one to watch. It will be more competitive than Costa Rica Germany.

I love how in football they base their penalty decisions on whether or not it impacts the play. In American football you’ll have amazing plays negated for penalties that have zero impact

I had the Germany game muted. Why did that goal count? Couldn’t hear the explanation

7 minutes seems a lot for Japan. What provided that?

Very long VAR

Any part of the ball hovering over the line = inbound

Ah, nice. I thought it was only the part of the ball touching the ground

So who actually made the on-field call that the Japanese 2-1 goal was out of play? The assistant ref is in a horrible position to see it, and also doesn't signal anything at all. The main ref definitely can't see it.

Nobody, because they called it in
