Never argue with a fool, they will lower you to their level and then beat you with experience.

I was in Philadelphia watching the France v Paraguay "game" (in quotes because the Paraguayan horseplay and odd refereeing made large sections unwatchable) ... it was fairly brutal in the sun, although there was a bit of a breeze.

The funniest Zlatan comment was when it was announced that Lalas would not be in the studio ... "You're welcome America".

The diving and the fouling from that Paraguayan team was frankly disgraceful and the referee was totaly appalling I'd be surprised if he gets to referee for fifa again Bill.

Mbappe stayed cool throughout as Paraguay tried to mess with him and ref did nothing to stop the dirty play. Zero cards for Paraguay? Off ball incidents were unaddressed. Michael Oliver gave six yellows in his first half to calm things down.

Colina may want fewer cards but by this stage the game within the game can overtake the game itself.

The American ref in the Brazil v Norway game today missed a similar clear and obvious penalty... agree that VAR having to point out the missed foul is not going to help his future chances.

The King of Norway called FIFA asking for the offside call at 2" to be reversed. Caller ID so Infantino let it go to voicemail.

I wonder if the United Kingdom will appeal the red card? This is going to get messy given the political interference that's is  supposed  to have been taking place.

Fifa are total joke with this go's against their own rules regarding political interference from any government in particular sporting decisions.

From Noeway-Brazil match:

1. Brazil's first mistake: Vinicius should kick the first penalty.

2. Brazil's second mistake: Neymar should get in from the start of the second half.

2. Haaland: what a PLAYER!
