    The second time now that Morocco looked like a true contender for around 40 minutes and then stopped playing. Got a bit lucky in the end to go home with a 1-0 win, still think they will top the group.

    I have no idea. I’m not informed enough. The only thing I can analogize it to will be he is what Fred VanVleet will be next season out there for the leadership. Hopefully it’s enough to make some noise.

    How many girls are there in the US, imagine the soccer girls.

    I mean like how many girls play the game.

    This should already be a lot in the population, fam.

    First half of the Paraguay/Turkey elimination game turned into a nasty Steelers/Ravens grudge match.

    Whew! That was intense. That's enough soccer for me today.

    Miguel Almirón is having a disasterclass of a world cup.

    Received a yellow in the 1st game for diving and simulation.

    Received a straight red in the 2nd game for covering his mouth while talking to the opposition.

    What an idiot

    This Turkey team is so ass.

    Playing against 10 men and couldn't even equalize.

    Sengun, you and your country should be ashamed.

    That was indeed a next-level stupid red card.

    Too bad there was a winner. I wish both teams could have lost.

    No idea what those speeds mean. This is America, Jack, they need to be in eagles per cheeseburger or something.

    Pretty cool we got a goal from the son of an All-Pro NFL wide receiver. We need more NFL, NBA, track fathers raising kids to play soccer.

    Per a 40yrd dash max speed chart I came across, Gordon is ~4.30, and De Ven is 4.35. The rest are 4.4 - 4.5 guys.

    This is apparently De Ven’s recorded 37.38 moment = ~4.35
