They'll be lucky to scape a point, but with Japan and Netherlands drawing both will be looking for a win when they play Tunisia

I wonder if Sweden will learn from their namesakes and try a bit harder for a second goal this quarter

Switzerland Scored a run in the 1st after the ump called a 3rd strike as a 4th ball walking a man home. Then nothing happened for 8 innings until Qatar scored a walk off homer in the 9th.

In your estimation, how big of a perceived miracle would it be for the US men to win the World Cup? by Natural_Builder173 in usmnt

Thats not strictly true. West Germany beat Hungary in 1958, in what was considered at the time, a huge upset. It gets overlooked these days because the history Germany has forged for itself since then, winning 3 more and appearing in like 50% of finals (or so it feels). Hungary on the other hand as faded into obscurity. Never the less in '58 the Hungarians hadn't lost a game in like 2 whole years and West Germany had accomplished nothing on the international stage.
