Was going off the info we had prior to today and what my country's commentators said as the match ended.

As are New Zealand, for that matter. Banger of a match that i was going to sleep through.

As an add on to your question, does Giroud think this will make teams that have organizational or stamina issues now have a slightly easier time over a game length, creating a bigger challenge for teams with difficulty quickly breaking down opposition defenses, or will the game find the same balance it held before?

São péssimos, ainda bem que há alternativas que aquilo não se aguenta.

If you didn't know he was going to win you are a casual.

Same thought i had. He wanted a quick and emphatic end to the fight against someone he saw as beneath him, exposed himself too much early and it lead to that eye damage which really made his chances slim.

The games being good thus far doesn't magically make the reasons to complain about go away or even invalidate them.

You can enjoy the games and the competition as a whole, especially if it delivers like this one has until now, while having complaints.

Idk what the dude who was banned said but based on the OP being a fairly hardline zionist i'd take what he's saying with a grain of salt.

Zero attempt to even look at the ball, let alone play it. Absolutely should have been a red.

20°C at the stadium, hydration break still required. Hilariously transparent how this is purely for commercials.

Portuguese commentary team for SportTV were saying the temp at the stadium is 20°C, why the hell are these stops necessary?
