No context/alt text because you won't catch me slippin'.

International soccer has come a long way since the days a player’s murder could be credibly attributed to an own goal in the 1994 World Cup game against the US.

Long ass check for an obvious dive and simulation. Switzerland been the better side for most of the half, but down to 10 men against Argentina is likely the end for their campaign.

The white Argentinian with the Irish last name is the only player not named Messi who seems to be able to score for this team.

Do I think there's a conspiracy to get a "Hand of God" rematch? No Do I think that the officiating has made it more and more difficult to argue that position with every passing game? Yeah...

When in doubt, start fouling your own players. The ref still has to call it.

I'm stressed and I'm a neutral.

This is a really heavy handed metaphor for VAR’s influence on the game

Make the dazzlingly handsome skillful one and the large distinctive-looking affable one kiss idc

Confirmed dive and Eze didn't get booked? Come. On.

That is a fucking diiiiiiive. Clear as day.

Good goal. First *really* good thing England have done since the first half, which is beyond frustrating, but it is a good goal. Bellingham is everything Harry Kane has been hyped up to be for the last decade, and then some.

England have played scared and *begged* the officials to give them something the entire second half. Hasn't happened yet (though I disagree with Norway's disallowed goal) but *wow,* have they played a shameful game.

That's the most bullshit "shove" I've seen called in a game. Haaland is already away from the defender by the time he is falling to the ground. Ridiculous call.

Unbelievable strike. Wow wow wow.

also seriously, no matter how much you are posting i promise you someone has not heard of your book / movie / tv show / comic etc

Stu Pickle struggles with an illness and each of the Rugrats represent the side effects of his medication(s)

It's been awful. UV index at 11 (I genuinely assumed it capped at 10) and, after humidity, the temperature reaches around 110⁰ every day. That's SC. I don't even know how bad it is where there's more of a dry heat.

Uggggggggh This sucks.

Give this queen her flowers, TV Academy voters.

Rewatching Scorsese's Cape Fear and I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie so shamelessly overdirected but still manages to come together so well. Thelma Schoonmaker, you are a fucking genius.

Seeing videos of security guards at the stadium only checking people in Egypt gear while everyone in Argentina jerseys were allowed in without being patted down, not to mention the racist attacks that people have been sharing from in the stands... The disgrace of that game was not only the refs.

At least FIFA is doing something about the racism IShowSpeed had to face

From the second that goal was disallowed, this game soured so fucking quickly. My heart breaks for Egypt, who were the better team and certainly played the better football. Again, CAF are *the* defining teams of this World Cup.

When 54 came out it was a fine film—good, but swallowed up and eclipsed by the sheer quality of other 90s indie gems like BOOGIE NIGHTS. The 2015 director's cut, however, is a work of genius. Like KINGDOM OF HEAVEN director's cut good. Snap this up before it's gone.

Egypt's counterattack is unreal.

Okay, actually 2-0, now.

hoooooooooooooooly crap VAR has discredited itsefl here

Really should be a time limit on how far back a review can go. Egypt's goal getting disallowed for a player accidentally stepping on the toe of another player, 90 seconds before the goal was scored, just because Argentina never touched the ball in those 90 seconds, is *brutal.*

Ooooooooh shit

Both of today's games will be over by the time I finish work today. Laaaaaame

Once again, I am just a small-town international relations professor, standing here, begging our media & our Congress to take our most important signed, ratified international treaty seriously & threats by the One Special Boy to violate it as the presidency-ending scandal that it should have been.

The two teams in my household (MX and ENG) sing songs about losing something over and over again, but still singing through, still believing it's coming home. There is a yearning for greatness, but the willingness to stand by your team no matter the heartbreak. That's sports.

Also running to your women's team when the men lose and only then is genuine loser behavior lol

I need the Belgian Regency to reach out to Infantino about reversing Onana's injury though.

I love World Cup

Lukakuuuuuuuuu

Doku is so good, man.

They’re not moving like they need to score twice in 4+ minutes. And this isn’t even a good Belgium team. They’ve been extremely mid this tournament.

Bringing on Lukaku? Oh shit...

That was such a bad blunder that I genuinely believed there *must* have been a foul somewhere in that. This is why I *loathe* keepers who play from the back. I'm a Belgium fan, but, for a number or reasons, I'm not trying to watch the U.S. embarrass themselves further.

I can't wait to see what this looks like when Lukaku, Doku, and De Bruyne get in the game

Belgium are up a goal, giving the best performance of their campaign so far, and didn't even start all of their big players. The U.S. are not out of it by any means, as this World Cup has shown multiple times, but still.

In the most complimentary of ways, this man looks like a One Piece character.

Belgium look like they mean business. Could have been their third and we are only 10 minutes in.

(You should probably listen to trans people telling you about Newsom before you get embarrassed twice.)

And this just makes a bad decision worse. You can’t suspend the suspension AND THEN open it to appeals to suspend the suspension of the suspension.

Hell yeah
