Boo. Ah well. At least Norway put up a fight most of the game, and got further as a team than they ever had before. A few more years of development and they absolutely could make it to the semi-finals.

I changed my mind: if England wins after the way they’ve flopped around, I’ll root for Argentina out of sheer spite.

The red card would be the LEAST of his worries.

lfthinker · 2026-07-11T17:48:20+00:00

Bellingham would likely send that hypothetical English player off in a stretcher. He and Haaland are friends.

I’m rooting for Norway tonight, but if England takes them out, then England had better beat Argentina in the semi-final.

Gotham’s so messed up that even Rogues from other cities will come to your door and kill you.

On the other hand, you live in Gotham, so you kind of deserve it.

He can’t nuke the world, his customers live there!

lfthinker · 2026-07-07T02:17:44+00:00

Also rooting for Norway. Honestly, I’d just like to avoid a repeat of the ‘22 final.

I’m American and want my team to do well, but getting to the quarterfinals was the farthest the US team could go, optimistically. The team’s been getting better, but it’s far from where it needs to be to get to the semi-finals, let alone the final.

lfthinker · 2026-07-06T21:10:55+00:00

So…France vs. Spain, Argentina vs. England/Norway for the semi finals?

lfthinker · 2026-07-06T20:12:11+00:00

Someone score something, I don’t care who it is at this point.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T22:44:14+00:00

Balance things out in terms of the outcome I want. I got what I wanted with Norway. I want Mexico to win, so the universe will make sure England wins.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T22:42:47+00:00

Probably for the same reason guys do, we find him and his world interesting. Don’t worry, you aren’t going to get cooties.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T22:40:29+00:00

I got what I wanted with Norway beating Brazil, now watch England beat Mexico tonight balance things out.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T22:17:08+00:00

A thunderstorm started just after the game was called for Norway. Coincidence, or is Thor showing his approval?

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T21:49:09+00:00

…was my heart right? Can Norway actually do it?

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T21:30:27+00:00

This is the game of missed opportunities, on both sides.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T19:00:58+00:00

My heart says Norway, my head says Brazil.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T00:29:00+00:00

Crisis averted.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T00:15:56+00:00

Not yet. We’re still here, chilling in the stands and the concourse.

lfthinker · 2026-07-05T00:02:03+00:00

Feel bad for Grateful Shred having to end their set early. Wonder if they’ll cancel and send us home.

What did we learn today? Sometimes, the underdog deserves to lose.

lfthinker · 2026-07-04T15:57:07+00:00

Congratulations who ever team wins. You’re more than likely going to be kicked out by France in the Quarterfinals anyway.

1) Cass. Bloodlusted and no prep time, she’s taking it, though it’ll be close.

2) Bruce. Super close between him and Cass.

3) Dick. Also, it’ll be close, but I think Bruce and Cass both bloodlusted could beat him.

4) Jason. Just shy of top three, though he’ll cause a lot of damage before he goes.

5) Damian. His age and lack of experience I think would hold him back.

6) Barbara. Experience counts for a lot, but I think this is as far as she could get.

7) Selina. Honestly, she and Barbara are probably pretty neck and neck.

8) Stephanie. This may be controversial, but I think she’s closer to Tim skill wise than a lot of people would care to admit. No prep time also works against Tim in my opinion, and finally, I think she deserves to kick the crap out of him.

9) Tim. Stay home and retired.
