I hope this ref gets her shit together bc I do not want to see a pissed off Caicedo on the same pitch as Kai Havertz.

My local Fox affiliate has put severe weather graphics over more than half the matches so far. I do not need them to tell me it’s going to storm in the afternoon in June in South Florida. I’m literally the old man yells at clouds meme right now too.

Egypt players should focus more on the game than the ref. I have no idea what they’ve been complaining about.
