It looked like the NZ captain was holding his own teammate back from defending that corner.

Caldwell and Atiba lamenting Bielsa taking off Valverde. "He's the engine of this team." Did they watch the game? Valverde was a passenger. Passive. Embarrassing.

Note: Sad, slaloming surfer Canobbio is a thug who was just sent off.

I am an unreasonable Bielsa fan. And he has not been able to keep this team functioning as a team. They had a good run for a while. Then blew up.

Uruguay out, in a group that includes Cabo Verde and Saudi Arabia, is bonkers.

This Halifax - Pacific game seems exciting but it's really just two mostly incompetent teams scoring on each other despite being mostly incompetent. #CanPL

Is this going to have any negative effects for Norway?

My life:

He's just happy the boys gave 110% and, God willing, they'll make it to the state championship again.

Me after Turkiye finally score and win

I had a Seattle dog for dinner. Friends, it's a good hot dog.

In Canada it's betting companies. All betting companies. And cars, I guess.

It just looks so stupid when it goes right out for a goal kick.

I was chanting boo-s-a.

Brazil in yellow with white shorts and socks looks bad. Weak.

Yildiz almost ALMOST changed the game against Australia. Then did nothing against Paraguay.

This is the truth.

He should have resigned after the last game.

Lareya getting mad at someone for going down easily is pretty funny

Sure, if he was playing against DC United. His scoring record for Canada is shit.

No early goals, please. I'm absolutely sick of early goals.

Let's appreciate him for what he is: a rapist.

Someone show this shot selection to Turkiye.

If you still like the USMNT you're a narc.

Seattle tried this. I believe that everyone agreed that it fucking sucked balls.

I'm not wearing my Germany kit. Sorry, Germany fans.

The American colour commentator just told the audience that the shoulder is the harder part of a person's upper body.

I'm getting angry at this Turkiye team. Just nothing happening. Absolutely useless.

Finally catching up on some things. TSN says its #CanMNT vs. Qatar broadcast drew 5.3 million viewers across CTV (over the air), TSN (English cable), RDS (French cable), Crave (English streaming) and Noovo (French streaming. Bell Media's biggest World Cup group stage audience on record.

Cunha? Fuck off.

Who is Michael Findlay?

FUCK. YAH!

I was just reading about the first round of Qatari influence / bribery / corruption in FIFA, in Simon Kuper's really good World Cup Fever.

I just saw him and mistook him for Niko Kovac.

This was my experience in Vancouver and it was so great. Every fan in a football shirt was happy to say hi or whatever. Didn't matter which shirt. I learned how to cheer for Turkiye (Haydi Turkiye!) and every Turkish fan I said it to beamed.

Did a video for @futi.live about Michael Olise, who's pretty good at soccer

Uh

Good. I'm sorry that Ghana loses a player, but maybe they shouldn't pick rapists / sexual assaulters for their team.

I love the awkward laugh from the host to get out of that bit. She's doing her best.

Mbappé is a dick.

Ahem

Rabiot coming back to collect the ball off Saliba just to pass it directly to Upamecano perfectly encapsulates this half for France.

Rabiot, somewhat amusingly, clearly thinks he's better than he is.

I miss slow centre backs.

Give Doku a card for that dive.

Dear World Cup camera people and game producers: You never need to show Infantino. There are zero people that want to see him.

FIFA has successfully made soccer games four quarters. Fuck. Off.

Just an amazing coincidence how often tournaments are played in the US. Huh.

What a find. All the authentic sports jerseys you could ever want!

Every American Arsenal fan struggling to come to grips with Pochettino as their manager. You're cheering for Spurs right now, you poor saps.
