I'm sure FIFA would have much preferred a Germany v France Round of 16 for ratings. It's not like France needs help.

No doubt. And no argument there. France are final bound I’m sure.

Probably a dumb question but why is this game being played in Mexico?

Because they are one of 3 host countries!

 

[ricochet]

Japan and Germany out in the same day (insert joke)

What about Italy? Oh yeah, they were done a long time ago.

Oh. I thought the US was the host country.

There's nothing else on TV so that's why I am even watching this lol

This stadium definitely has the best exterior shots

Canada has to like this, they have an extra day of rest plus face one of these teams coming off of this battle.

So many penalty kicks not even on target today. At least force the goalkeeper to save it.

 

[AgronAlum]

Morocco deserved to win that match.

 

[cyfanbr]

That Marrocos keeper is a psycho, and I love it!

 

[cyfanatic13]

This World Cup has delivered already and there’s so much left to go

Estadio BBVA. Unreal.

Canada is going to need all the help they can get

Fantastic backdrop.

Favorites falling like flies. Gotta love this.

I mean, Morocco was rated higher than Netherlands, and lots of experts were picking Morocco as a dark horse to win the whole thing (they were in the semifinals in 2022). Even though the Dutch were a slight favorite in Vegas, I don't know if I'd say the favorite lost...

Harassing my German coworkers

Apparently South Koreas government investigating their program.
Even made the most of the team fly back separately

Uruguay canceled their charter and made the players fly back commercial. These countries need to chill.
