@CraigNorenbergs USA yes, Australia probably, India hell no. The only reason why India is a powerhouse in cricket is because the rest of the world doesnโt play they sport as much as they do
@FIFAWorldCup This game is a perfect example to all the dumb Americans who think you can just throw the best athletes and expect to compete at this level. France had the faster more explosive athletes yet were chasing shadows all game.
@HatTrickChris If they go to 64 teams they will have to have at least 32 european teams. The last thing the world cup needs is another team from the OFC which may end up being the case
@jaycaspiankang Brazilians went from posting over one million comments on a Japanese bench players instagram after he said what everyone else was thinking pre game to realizing nothing he said was wrong after losing badly to Norway
Hakeem Olajuwon started playing basketball at 15 and retired as one of the greatest players ever.
The chances of a great athlete starting soccer at 15 and retiring as a one of the greatest ever is near zero.
Make of that what you will.
@DanCanobbio FIFA, IOC, and the FIA are the most corrupt sporting organisations on the planet. Boxing is up there also but they dont have a central body that is in the center of everything like those 3 are
@JapaneseFbl Says a lot about Moriyasus tactics more than anything tbh. Made Brazil look like prime Brazil again after that first goal. Something Norway never let them get a sniff of
@ZachLowy The group stages are now a celebration of the sport and different cultures from around the world and the real World Cup starts at the knock out stages.
@DeadlineDayLive No one should be surprised. Theres a reason why Infantino keeps getting elected when all these corrupt federations will continue voting for him. World Cups are just a huge pay bonus to these people
@BtM7pILAYinvMVy@emperor_keitai He was in a group that had Spain, Chile and the Netherlands. All three teams were at the top of the footballing world at the time
