Hope for an Argentina vs France final.

Alex gave me the bad news. He wanted to check on you to be sure you're okay.

England did what they always do in world cups. France was better. They have a tough match with the pretty awesome Morocco.

The French defenders kept making bone-headed challenges late in the game. I think Morocco's Fort Knox + counter-attack style might draw out the same levels of desperation. I'd like to think they're in with a chance.

(kick ball expert now btw)

some interesting semis upcoming

France v. Morocco likely a blowout but there will be 100K Moroccan fans in the stadium screaming their lungs out

Argentina v. Croatia could be an epic grudge match

This Grant Wahl thing seems like it should be a much bigger story.

Why ? Because his brother is saying he was killed?

I never heard of him until I saw it here on RM.

No, not because you’ve never heard of him. I hadn’t, either.

48 years old and drops dead in the press box. That’s weird.

Guess it’s not common but happens.

he was tweeting a bunch in the days leading up to the game that he hadn't been feeling great and that he was super low on sleep/energy. it sounds like a heart attack.

i'm not about to put on a tin-foil hat just yet. i'm guessing murdering an american soccer journalist during the world cup wasn't at the top of qatar's agenda.

I’m certainly no health expert but when someone dies of a heart attack, isn’t that pretty quickly recognized and announced as the cause of death?

Maybe the Qatar government has different laws on releasing that type of info to the public? And maybe, just maybe, his wife/family aren't saying anything until they get over there and deal with it? Nothing in this story is suspicious or a stretch, go back to your QAnon-Trump theories, bam bam.

from what I read, looked like he was sick but working long hours

he had tweeted ‘this is not my first rodeo’ basically about working long hours while sick / overseas

he went to the medic and got antibiotics

said he felt somewhat better

then complained of chest pains

took a turn for the worse

RIP

Stoked for today's match because I have no skin in the game and I'll be happy if either team wins.

I fell in love with Croatia last World Cup and my RM love makes me support Argentina. Also Messi is amazing.

So... Go Good Game!

Vamos, vamos etc.

What a goal. Sheeesh.
