What I find most depressing about last night, is 2022 and 2026 was this era’s World Cup window. Kane and Rice in their peaks, Pickford and Stones still around. It’s very unclear if England will be as well rounded in 2030
For the Hand of God. For Simeone's cheating. For Gazza's miss. For 2002. For Ronaldo's wink. For the goal that never was. For Iceland. For "he should have squared it". For Chiellini on Saka. For Croatia, Italy, France, Spain
Fun part of this World Cup is learning about all these specific ethnic enclaves in the US, every game has some cut that’s like “and here’s the famed Curaçaoan community in Wilmington, Delaware” and it’s some random bar with like 450,000 people
