Who even cares after Norway got eliminated. Literally the top 4 ranked teams in the world are in the semifinals, how boring is that?

I’m still angry about that one and I have no connection to Croatia. Completely robbed.

The game is rigged. The FIFA CEO licks Trump's balls. It's just dystopian garbage that has nothing to do with sports.

Sounders fans know Elfath as the referee who declined to issue a red card to the wrestling enthusiasts' of Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia suplexed Cristian Roldan in 2020 (at least, that's how The Rock described it ).
There was even a change.org petition to have his license revoked.
