@BurjHallifa @SamBorden Nah, he may not have asked for it but he’s been happy to accept it and unfortunately play the part in all the wrong ways.

Meanwhile, look at Haaland. A true superstar and national hero who acts like he’s just your warm hearted, good natured, goofy kid living the dream

@PremLeaguePanel @Ankaman616

How do you rate him on a scale of 1-10?

@sidlowe Super Bowl halftimes are double the normal 15. Will they do the same?

@SheehanPodcast Hey Kev, when you talk about viewership on your shows, are you including only English-language networks?

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@TomMcDonnell4th @SheehanPodcast @kevinsheehanDC No, this is not accurate. Teams are not allowed to challenge red cards in the WC (like they can in many domestic leagues).

The WC being impacted by our politics is what was most feared beforehand. It happened, and it turned a dream WC for US Soccer into a nightmare.

@Ankaman616 Not saying he's Messi, but the way Olise maneuvers with the ball is similarly mesmerizing.

And, like Messi in his prime, I'm not sure there's another player in the world right now who gets me so excited each time he gets on the ball.

If only that scissors kick had gone in!

@PaulTassi Meanwhile an awesome Dune trilogy is made in like 5 years

@PapaBorf @TightCompadre @GrantPaulsen @MatthewBerryTMR Now that's something we can agree on. I'd love to see them relax/update the punishments that come with red cards. Like, for tournaments, don't make them miss the next game. Each game is too important.

And I would love to see two yellows to NOT equal having to play a man down.

@benbbaldwin It's been soooo so good!

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@MarkBullockNFL Mark - Please stop. It's painful seeing you waste your time arguing with randos who don't know ball.

We Americans who are serious fans of both footballs know you're right. Let the rest live blissfully in their ignorance.

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@tysonisaiahfit @MarkBullockNFL @MikeyNohMore No one who knows ball is taking Halaand #1.

Besides, the Viking is also a unicorn - he's the exception that proves the rule, a one-of-a-kind combo of athleticism and technical skill.

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@BaldyNFL @DaTruthiz_BAK26 On another day, that’s a leg breaker.

And the standard is clear and has been established for some time now: Go in studs up and make contact and it’s a red.

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@Wilson11G And most seem to be in agreement that that was one of the worst refereeing performances in a long time

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@PapaBorf @GrantPaulsen @MatthewBerryTMR True. What's your point?

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@eurofootcom Thugs

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@JuneVanBloem Diversity of strategies is great, but that was one of the worst referee performances in a long time and Paraguay shouldn't have been allowed to get away with half of what they did.

France players get yellow cards but ZERO for Paraguay? C'mon!

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@PFTCommenter False 9 or not, just gotta make sure we have someone who's stretching that backline like Flo does. That's the key

[Max Power @mfmaxpower]

@OldTownJG Nah. Fox has one of the former top refs on their calls and he didn’t think it was a red. I’m inclined to agree with it being a red but it’s one of those grey area borderline calls that no way can you say there’s a definitive correct answer.

Just unlucky and that’s sports for ya

@MarkBullockNFL @BrendanDarr Setting politics aside, because that aspect is overblown, fact of the matter is Lalas just simply isn't the most likable of personalities, too often comes off like an ass, and isn't perceived to have the career success that might make up for his on-screen personality
