I’d say this game definitely kills the ”nothing ever happens in soccer” argument.
..... Can someone tell me if Neymar is a world class PK guy?

This puts a stain on the entire World Cup for me. No doubt in my mind at all this man was murdered.
Poisoned. He was AT the Holland-Argentina game WORKING and collapsed. Dropped dead on the spot. Unless he threw a PE because of the recent lengthy travel, this looks really, really bad. Especially because he was "detained" for half an hour during a group stage game and denied entry to the stadium because he wore a pro LGBTQ shirt. Received death threats. Just posted an article blasting Qatar's human rights record and treatment of migrant workers. Started to not feel well just after said detention. There's a good chance not all is what it seems here.I'm late to the game on this. Short answer is no, Neymar is just a crybaby prick, but I assure you that he thinks he's the best penalty taker/soccer player on earth. He's arrogant, selfish, and has not won enough to justify his attitude.
I just can't believe this...... Grant Wahl is an icon.
Before I get too deep in conspiracy , he did talk about feeling sick on his own podcast "“It had gotten pretty bad in terms of like the tightness in my chest, tightness, pressure. Feeling pretty hairy, bad."
that's a stretch to say no doubt. But I certainly agree there's a chance. Although, why would he be targeted just for wearing a rainbow shirt a few weeks ago.https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/09/football/grant-wahl-death-world-cup-qatar-intl-hnk/index.html

He apparently had bronchitis like issues didn't he in the week leading up to his death? That would put a strain on the heart.
Interested to see what comes of it though. Sad situation. Rip.
Don't get me wrong, I'm highly suspicious. Just not ready to call it a certainty just yet.He also wrote a scathing article about the host country the day before he died
Who knows? Not like the Qataris to be that subtle. They’d behead him then issue a statement saying he’d cut his own head off while combing his hairPoisoned.

If his family, including his wife, a well known infectious disease specialist and faculty at a large regional medical center thinks something is amiss here, I'm going to believe them. To me, the red flags here are about as subtle as a Scotsman that just hooked his tee shot into a water hazard.Who knows? Not like the Qataris to be that subtle.

I don’t know of the guy or his history. Had never heard of him. Just the article that he posted. Poisoning is more of a Russian tactic. In the Middle East people just tend to disappear.If his family, including his wife, a well known infectious disease specialist and faculty at a large regional medical center thinks something is amiss here, I'm going to believe them.

Argentina - England would be more fun, shit tons of bad blood there.I'm all in on an Argentina-Portugal final.
Portugal takes it.
How is Italy doing this world cup?My commiserations to all the English supporters. They put up a brave fight.
Just thought I would get in early
You're a bit late. They were knocked out on the 24th of March this year.How is Italy doing this world cup?
Shouldn't Paredes have been ejected if he got two yellow cards?!?!?!In case anyone lost count yesterday there was a grand total of 17 yellow cards issued…

Absolutely no idea who that is. We have our own terrible pundits to endure.Ali Wagner
You are better off being spared - lol. The only good soccer commentators for the US are imported from the UK, the rest are never were, has been relics from the US soccer “golden years” mid-90’s.Absolutely no idea who that is. We have our own terrible pundits to endure.
I love the way they play, they are a machine that just wears their opponents down.Fun fact. Croatia have only led in a game at the World Cup for a grand total of 46 minutes....it was against Canada.....and they're Semi Finalists.
They gave some mad stat last night about how many times they’ve won a game after conceding the first goal. They don’t know when they’re beaten. Smaller population than Scotland. We could learn so much from their attitude.Fun fact. Croatia have only led in a game at the World Cup for a grand total of 46 minutes....it was against Canada.....and they're Semi Finalists.
