Haaland’s finish on the last one was crazy

Haaland’s finish on the last one was crazy

And he was frustrated like 3 seconds before it happened and turned away.
I don't want to critique a star like him but thats why you gotta keep your head in the game.

He’s so good. My favorite player by far.

The stars are certainly showing up.

Same, freak of an athlete and just has that weird talent for always being in the right place at the right time

Late goal for Senegal. Lets see what they got the last few minutes.

 

[harimad]

Can they get a third Senegoal in the final minute?

Edit: it was not to be.

Close on that last corner kick.

This officially eliminates any possibility that we get matched up with Norway in the first round.

Is there a more likeable player in the entire tournament than him?

58% chance its Bosnia. The following round its 26% Belgium and 20% Egypt. The US has a 53% chance of making the quarterfinals.

As an over 2.5 bettor I’m not mad about it, but I thought that was surely offsides

As I understand it, we almost certainly get the Bosnia-Qatar winner in the Round of 32 if one of them win. Not sure who would be better. Such a weird system.

If you haven't taken time to watch some of the videos of Europeans thoughts on the US during the World Cup, I'd recommend checking them out. Pretty complimentary of America and some are pretty funny.

Have you figured out how the 3rd place teams are placed? I see that there are several groups each spot can come from. And I assume there are some sort of logic behind those groups. But it seems there would be more than just one game deciding it if the spots are based on which groups get a 3rd place teams? Or maybe the 3rd place teams are more set than I realized.
