I know they call it soccer here and that means it has very few fans in USA. Add to it USA did not even qualify for it.
But some of the early games have been exciting. Mexico pulled out a win. The Brazil match was exciting, as was Spain Vs. Portugal.
Nope. If the US isn’t in it I really don’t care. At least if they are on the field you don’t see nearly as much carrying on for getting brushed by another player. If you want to watch bad acting in a more abbreviated format just watch a 50 min episode of Netflix’s Daredevil.

This year is the first year they have introduced VAR – Video Assisted Replay. Unfortunately, I think, only the referee can ask for it. This has led to some heartburn from the teams who might have wished to have challenges decided by VAR – England’s Kane was held back and brought down in the penalty area but the referee did not see it. But who knows, the team asking for VAR with a max limit might be in the next world cup.
Maybe one byproduct is the marked decrease in dramatic acting that might put Hollywood to shame. The referees have had enough of it and I think there might even be penalty if it becomes too much. Games this time are much cleaner.
Good to hear. May catch a few minutes to see how it’s playing out. ?

I find the Brazilians to be the biggest drama queens. They get away with it because they are the superstar team. If they start losing, their acting increases exponentially.
On the other hand Germans are the lest likely to dive down and writhe in agony for a show. They usually mean business. The Germany Vs Sweden match should be good.
Unfortunately, I’m at work for most of the matches ?
