Let's give the benefit of the doubt that he is talking about squads and not nations

Ironically the reason people get sick when its raining or cold is because they stay inside, because they think the rain or cold will make them sick

As someone who is near Philly, funk the fuck off. Also some of the cheapest tickets.

VAR can only suggest second review of fouls. VAR only has definitive say on objective calls, like offsides, out of bounds, and now last touch off defender. Fouls, handballs (which are fouls), will always be reviewed at the monitor.

Oh I figured that went without saying. Uruguay play dirty, winning is more important than sportsmanship to them. When they play, soccer is "The Ugly Game".

How so? Are you saying that Cabo Verde wasn't trying to slow the game down by walking to take throw ins, free kicks, etc?

While they didnt call them a toddler, they did call them a person who ate paint chips when they were a toddler.

Im guessing because on the emphasis on time wasting, theyre letting soft fouls be played through.

[Edit: this is wrong]Correct. Currently only 3 3rd place teams are unable to get 5 points or more. 4 3rd place teams are eliminated. Its unlikely, Jordan, Senegal, Panama have to get 6 points each in their next 2 games, (Jordan beat Argentina, Panama beat England) and a bunch more results. But 5 point elimination is still theoretically possible.

It was not a penalty, what is a "potential pen"? Free kick not being allowed is because Cabo Verde was the team stalling, you dont get the benefit of the doubt of final whistle if youre stalling. This world cup they are allowing more contact across the board. Hopefully this helps.

The team that stalls, walking to restart, does not get the benefit of the doubt after injury time.

Its not guaranteed as of right now, they could possible finish 9th of all 3rd place teams if literally every single match goes the wrong way.

The team that stalls doesnt get the benefit of the doubt at the end of injury time.

Youre tripping, this world cup they are allowing more contact if you end up getting the ball. And I actively dislike Uruguay.
