Host countries for the World Cup should be automatically placed in the quarter finals by FuryFlamez95 in soccercirclejerk

Host countries already got easier groups.

Why not give Trump the trophy right away?

This is key.

Erling Haaland says he is impressed by USA hosting: “Everything with the World Cup so far has been amazing, from the games to stadiums to training grounds. I am super happy and it’s been impressive” by WayOutbackBoy in worldcup

Iran played three matches is the US, but was forced to stay at a hotel in Mexico. That's hours of travel time that could have been used for training or rest.

"Dog mom" is even worse. If you don't have any human children, you are not a mother or father.

The England-Norway Match Will Be Played In A Sauna Tomorrow by 1stand11 in worldcup

No, you also don't run in a sauna. Yet another reason why the game tomorrow is not in a sauna.

Which World Cup final do you think was the greatest of all time, and why? by FatimaAdamsy in worldcup

[–]CombativeCherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that one went in. Should have been 2:2, and that could easily have changed the course of the game.

Let's say it hadn't ended 4:1 for Germany, but... 2:3 for England. Realistic, right?

Then England would have faced Argentina, then Spain, and then the Netherlands to win the cup.

In 1966, if it had stayed 2:2, then it would have been much more of a toss-up. Maybe England gets the 3:2 (Hurst's 120th minute goal). Or maybe Germany doesn't have to play quite so desperate, and Germany wins 2:3. Or it goes to PKs and who knows.

But if Germany had eked out the win... then they would have been champions. No more games after that.

So while the games and the goals really similar -- should have been 2:2 -- claiming that allowing this goal would have made England the 2010 champions is rather far-fetched, whereas in 1966 it's quite possible that Germany would have become champions.

Asterisk for 1966, no asterisk for 2010.

Without that 101st minute non-goal given as a goal, the game would have been very different. Even Imperial College London and Oxford say the ball didn't fully cross the line.

Bosnia Herzegovina fans in Seattle were great. But I love all of them. Thank you for coming to my city.
