The Croatia disallowed goal 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗:

This is the only image that matters. The snicko technology goes off at the exact moment Matanović heads the ball.

So the Croatian player DID touch it, and Mario Pašalić was OFFSIDE. 🇭🇷🚩

It was the correct call.

This game has been so unbelievably rigged since Portugal tied

What a fucking joke by FIFA and what a shame for Croatia

[𝕵oeyTunes2 @joeytunes2]

Man Croatia got hosed.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

I think that's harsh on Croatia. Can't really say he flicked it on so should give the goal. Stopped a classic going to extra time on a guess

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Such a shitty way to end an incredible game

If this was Luka Modrić's final FIFA World Cup match, thank you for everything.

Croatian First Take is gonna do numbers Friday.

My heart is broken

Ronaldo is a tremendous player. This is also bullshit

[Griz @A_Griz39]

C’mon Luka 🇭🇷

[Griz @A_Griz39]

@SamMonsonNFL Nah dawg

[Griz @A_Griz39]

C’mon Croatia!

[Griz @A_Griz39]

@bbq_kc I feel like your Dutch is my Croatia. Sorry man

When Team USA boatraced Paraguay in their opening World Cup match, I was told by some educated fans that the takeaway was that Paraguay was just a terrible team.

Uh-huh.

Here's a mind-blowing statistic: despite making up just ~0.2% of the global population, players with ethnic heritage from the former Yugoslavia are 7.5% of players in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 (overrepresented by 40x) and play for 9/32 or 28% of teams! -> 🇭🇷🇧🇦🇦🇹🇦🇺🇨🇭🇺🇸🇨🇦🇸🇪🇩🇪

I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.

"You want that Animal Style?"

I paused.

I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.

"...Animal Style."

"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"

I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.

"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."

Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"

I stopped. Even the potatoes?

"The potatoes also become animals?"

"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."

"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."

"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"

I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"

"It's, like, how many patties you want."

"How many is the most honorable?"

"...Four is a lot."

"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."

She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.

It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.

I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.

For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.

They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.

So tell me, America.

The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?

And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?
