    Me too. I’m just having to suspend a lot of negative thoughts about two teams owned by ruthless nation states. But one of them has the deepest bench in football so I expect if it goes to ET they will prevail. Kinda hope I’m wrong!

    Yeah the referee refused to reconsider and was pointing to the upper arm, when the ball hit the lower arm. City's first goal came from a clear handball.
    Its suspicious that the VAR referees said nothing o_O

    I gotta say, this CWC has given us some incredible matches. This is by far one of the best tournaments I’ve seen in a while. Loving it

    I guess expansion isn't as bad as the media and some fans around here thought it might be.

    One of the greatest things in sport is when the underdog wants it so much more. That has been on display tonight, right from the opening kickoff.

    Biggest upset of the tournament. Biggest upset of the Club World Cup in any year and format.
    One of the biggest shocks in Club football, or any football for that matter.

    Congrats Al-Hilal. You just found a way to slay the Giant.
