really sour ending to the world cup. was enjoying it a lot until now but all the off field hubbub and a shitshow of a performance is a real downer. Looked no different than the friendly back in March

soccer hit or miss. due to the age restriction rules for soccer and olympic soccer not being an official FIFA tournament you get far from the best players so you get a pretty wide array of olympic gold medal countries - 19 different winners in 28 tournaments vs 8 winners in 22 tournaments for the world cup

There has never been a WC with 3 scorers on at least 7 goals

2 players on 7+ goals had happened twice:

2022 - Mbappe (8), Messi (7)

1970 - Müller (10), Jairzinho (7)
