I don't like the walkout without the FIFA anthem. I'd settle for a compromise where the FIFA anthem is instead played by Jack White.
France v Brazil about to kicking off. Proper World Cup atmosphere for this one. Hoping for a nice long war, complete with extra time, that leaves the winner weary ahead of their likely match with the US.
Even the French players stopped thinking there was going to be a foul call. I hate Brazil games, but I also enjoy the idea of French failure. I'm torn.
I thought the former but who knows. Maybe the issue is with the refs themselves; it’s not like they’ve been good VAR notwithstanding.
Is it me or has this WWC seemingly featured a lot more fouling than past editions? As if the increased talent has been countered with an uptick in intentional physical play.
That officials still make subjective calls even with VAR. Which is true and can never change. Refs are basically judges.
