Can a meteor please hit the Portugal locker room before the game starts so we can have South Korea and Ghana go through instead?

If an entire team died due to an "act of God" I wonder what they would actually do. Presumably a win via default to their opponents?

AFAICT there's a force majeure clause that says FIFA can do whatever they drat well want. In this case I assume would mean FIFA would cancel the rest of the tourney and give the trophy to Portugal just to spite all of us.

Nature Abhors A Vacuum


Last day of 4 games a day, I'll miss it

Ghana Uruguay
Referee: Daniel SIEBERT (GER)
VAR: Bastian Dankert (GER)

Siebert is probably the lowest ranked UEFA referee that is going to have a whistle at this tournament. I thought they might put one of the two Argentineans on this given they did that in 2018 for a Uruguay game and they would need another group stage game, but they went this route instead and put those guys on two of the other games. A big proving ground for Siebert. If he knocks this out of the park, he could earn a knockout match. And if not? They kept everyone else's hands clean.

South Korea Portugal
Referee: Facundo TELLO (ARG)
VAR: Nicolas Gallo (COL)

Tello had Switzerland Cameroon so when they slotted in Siebert on Ghana Uruguay, this kind of became the only game left. Gallo's VAR intervention in the tournament so far was to turn an offside call into a goal in Cameroon Serbia.

Cameroon Brazil
Referee: Ismail ELFATH (USA)
VAR: Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez (ESP)

I thought Elfath might be One and Done after Portugal Ghana, but he gets another game after all. Here's something interesting: Armando Villareal (USA) was his VAR in that game, and, while it's not always been 1-to-1 (I dont think? Maybe it has), they typically like to pair the VAR teams with referees they work together with a lot. Armando is not on this game in any capacity - all five VAR seats are occupied by Spaniards. What does that mean? I'm not exactly sure, but it's a little strange. It leads me to believe FIFA wanted a VAR intervention to overturn the penalty, but I've also heard through like.... third or fourth hand information that FIFA didn't consider the penalty a miss. That conflicts with a desire to pull Villareal off the pairing though, so... who knows. My current leading theory is that FIFA don't consider it a miss but also weren't happy with it, so Villareal is done, and they needed someone to fill this slot and thought "outside the penalty it was fine, Brazil are already qualified, lets just give him this parting match to keep the CONCACAF folks happy". I dunno, your guess is as good as mine.


Serbia Switzerland
Referee: Fernando RAPALLINI (ARG)
VAR: Mauro Vigliano (ARG)

Rapallini was fine in Morocco Canada and deserved a second game. Vigliano had one VAR intervention in Germany Japan for offside. Got it all to play for here so a good choice imo.

They'd let third place in the group go through, hand out the black armbands, do a minutes silence before kick off and then tell everybody to get the gently caress back to satisfying those advertisers.

But who is the third place would depend, probably, on what kind of result they give to the unplayed game

I think 2-0 is the standard when one team doesn't show up.

the 3rd place team would then be killed in a manner as close to possible as that of the initially killed team, with the help of VAR

Oh, I'm sure the tourney would actually go on because money, but giving Ronaldo a posthumous World Cup trophy is possibly the most revolting outcome I can think so I have to assume FIFA would do it.

Biting yes, don't think he's been accused of performing an oil check though.

What's the funniest thing that could happen in Uruguay - Ghana game? Would it be funny if Suarez saves a goal again with his hand, guaranteeing Uruguay go through? Or would the reverse be funnier?
