But if only he was suspended OH WAIT.

Each team and their fans now have ready-made excuses in case they lose. Get a red that suspends your best player when Ronaldo is allowed to play? Injustice! Have to play a player who was red carded in the prior match? Injustice! FIFA loves to hear how long the echos of grievances can travel.

Sure looked like Mexico was a victim of its own stadium's altitude. Players just couldn't get to the ball in that second half. Even a man up and minutes to go they always seemed outnumbered anywhere near the goal.

This game is a really good way to bury the lede earlier in the day which itself wasn't even in the top three of most peculiar things to happen in this World Cup.

Holy what in the name of the soccer gods is going on?!

I'm from Long Island so I'm contractually obligated to vote a certain way here.

Oh no! Paraguay is going to have to.... *gasp!*.... play soccer now! 🤣

France isn't learning from Germany's mistake. Paraguay is all too happy to make this a shoving match, dogfight, pissing contest. Basically anything but soccer.

Ronaldo 🤝 Me Watching Extra Time

Welcome to the World Cup where both teams have to wear their alternate unis in the same game.

Boy if that's a red card they should be playing 9 on 9 by now.

USA 4-1 Paraguay Germany 1-1 Paraguay Does. Not. Compute.

Emerson Lake and Palmer and Sinatra. Like not all four of them singing the same songs but that WOULD be interesting.

5,241 times tonight I've heard that if Ecuador loses tonight, they don't advance. Uh... The same goes for Curaçao so why don't they mention that too?

Yellows for all!

When my floor is undergoing intrastructue work and I have to work from home. A bit bittersweet as my building overlooks the spot where the busses and floats stop and the team personel get off and scoot into the Tweed Courthouse.

Rebecca Lowe at halftime said Switzerland was on their way to three points. 🤣

Penalty shot alert at the World Cup! Don't worry you got time to tune in. Multiple bodies on the ground. Because soccer.

If I recall correctly a few people did a study a few world cups ago and rewatched games with stop watches and determined that if anything those minutes should be doubled. They even allowed reasonable time for throw ins etc and still came out with many more minutes needed to play full 45 halves.

Watching half the players on the opposition taking yellows the way the US kids did in '90 is really something oh look at that another goal.

I know I haven't paid a lot of attention to the USMNT but... Daaaaaaaaammnnnn.

Holy shit!

My first was A New Hope, but not when it first came out. I saw it as a special double-feature. The other film was the newly-released The Empire Strikes Back.

Just tuned in did Cooper talk yet?! 😂

Got an invalid handle according to Bluesky. I'm a hardened criminal AMA.

I put this on my TV and my cats will take Laser Pointer 2.0 down within seconds. Also the entire TV.

How do you watch after several 10-ish year old kids? Put them in front of this game and don't let them look up the answers online.

Well played, Giants fan. Well played.

100.6 fever at the moment (was higher before). Just got swabbed at an urgent care. I'm in a room with a gurney as an exam bed and the lights just turned off. Do two bad omens cancel out?

Fake bugs on TV. This gives me roughly 120 seconds of peace. 😅

Cat sitter TV while working what could possibly go wrong?

Where's Jon Cooper's post game comments I need that injected straight into my veins.

My sister watched Robin Hood on VHS the same way I'd watch Star Wars. Easy choice.

Olympic hockey. Feel the excitement.

Uh where are the bronze medalists?

Hey Gretz remember that looney that you said was going to the hall of fame after Canada won? Anything going in this time or nah?

On one hand it's a tight game. On the other, neither team can score on golden opportunities and Tom Wilson is on the ice for the last shift of a tied game. All of that is factually correct too and hints at a really poor game if you aren't watching closely.

Can't score on a long 5 on 3. Can't score on a double minor. These teams suck. 🤣

Mic'd up player = Instamute

Tom Wilson arguing with a ref that an opponent has some nerve shooting the puck while there's still time left on the clock is Peak Tom Wilson.

25 year old me: This is great keep the beers flowing! 52 year old me: Please just keep the coffee flowing.

Death taxes and American sticks breaking in the long change periods.

Before every NHL game: The National Anthem(s) Before the biggest international competition: No national anthems.

One frame: both puck and skate on the blue line Very next frame: both have cleared the line. Next move: extrapolate distances to figure out which crossed first. 😂

Did not have "figure skater out-f-bombing hockey players on TV" on my bingo card.

Playing Freebird just feels like kicking them while they're down. 🤣 Much love to Canada though. Helluva team.

Wait so this dude is about to be a Super Bowl champ?

Shouldn't that be an automatic goal?

The only play of the game I have seen so far is the doink to close the half. I should just turn the game off and call it a perfect night.

Wow wow wow wow WOOOOOOOOOW! This game, man.
