I think a lot of the outrage has to do with the treatment of the migrant workers they brought in, on top of everything else.
probably not, but probably didn't try to do it with an intense deadline looming. but i will end any country talk here, outside of results. England vs USA 2PM Wales losing is a good thing, USA just can't get blown out today.
Spain put on a clinic. Made Navas (who is an excellent keeper) look like a novice with weak hands. Both Saudi goals were worthy of the hilghight reel. Will have coffee and the TV on at 11am (west coast) for the England game.
Iran definitely won't be an easy W though. 2 goals against England and a win where they looked good today. Here's to hoping Eng trips all over themselves today and we can steal one.
And lucky for them their wives and/or GFs aren’t allowed to drive it by law And the US should’ve won the game against England. Started slow but it felt like they controlled the game more and had more decent chances
I posted an interesting YT vid regarding this event. It provided a variety of opinions on the topic of the host country.
That was a good game. Well played by spain and well defended by germany with some counter-strike as well. I'm amazed at the composure of these kids with the skill level and pace of play.
