I found it trying. I was just about to text a Welsh buddy and rub it in.

The language sounds as bad as it looks.

I watched the game in the bar at the neighborhood golf course, half owned by Tyler Adams the US team captain.
The trying goal was a let down, but at the end of the game the announcer said Tyler was the best US player. That made the crowd, about 10-15 neighbors, happy.
Wales came on at the end and could have won the game, but the US team dominated most of the game and with a little luck should have done better.
Same time, same place Friday vs England

”Soccer teams representing seven European nations at the World Cup announced Monday that their captains won’t wear LGBTQ armbands in Qatar after FIFA, which organizes the tournament, said players sporting the bands would be penalized.”
FIFA threatened to yellow card anyone wearing the armband.

Seems like athletes have a big enough platform to spread their political views without using the field to do it. They’re being paid to play a role in a show, after all.

I think the AR National team had won 48 games in a row.

Just watched highlights. Really great goals (especially the 2nd one) by Saudi. Their goal keeper and defense played great too. Well deserved. Argentina had so many offsides goals called back!

And what about those players who hate?
They shouldn't be forced to wear this woke stuff.

You're confusing Saudi Arabia with Liverpool vs. Man Utd.
