Haaland is truly a lovable oaf.

This World Cup is the greatest part of America’s 250th birthday if you ask me, and we didn’t even have to do a bunch of telling people about how great the country is. Just let people experience how even our gas stations and chain restaurants can be amazing.

The next few days are going to be absolute bangers. We have England entering the Thunderdome of the Estadio Azteca to play Mexico in a round of 16 home game for Mexico. You bongs have no idea. The American national team has to deal with that bullshit every season. There is no comparison, and the only thing close to trying to explain it would be saying "its kinda like Chelsea playing an away game at Arsenal". Absolutely bonkers how the RNG gods brought this match up about. Then there is the USA vs. Belgium with the USA team down a man due to a red card, but also playing a home game in Seattle which is rather famous for how autistic they are about home games. Then there is Norway vs. Brazil just to round things off with a good underdog story.

This is a most excellent tournament. One would almost think FIFA wrote a script for it.

I was not a fan of the extended roster this year, it made the group stages fairly uninteresting and just overall made it hard to watch every match if you wanted to. That said, it allowed some of the smaller teams to have a chance to compete and in this 32 round it's led to some amazing football. I will gladly take a less exciting group stage if it gives us these kind of games in the future.

It's been very heartening to see foreign fans discover stuff like Waffle House for the first time, overall I think it's been a good tournament so far.

Not sure how I fancy England's chances against Mexico. Homefield advantage and that elevation is going to be really rough. Looking forward to seeing Canada get knocked out today, the day of the rake grows ever closer!

It's a pity both sides can't lose.

Iceland will be the only country I ever enjoy their populace doing the Viking Clap at football matches, it's gay as fuck when other countries try to imitate it. A once cool and novel thing has turned into something generic like the wave.

I'm quoting this old chestnut.

Bring back the vuvuzelas, fuck sake.
