>18 minutos do primeiro tempo, gol de Haaland contra a Argentina na semifinal da copa do mundo

>Messi pede VAR e o juiz aceita

>VAR começa a voltar no jogo, não encontra nenhuma falta de Haaland

> VAR continua voltando no tempo, assistimos o nascimento do primeiro filho de Haaland, o primeiro beijo em sua esposa, seu primeiro chute em uma bola, seus primeiros passos, a primeira vez que olhou nos olhos de sua mãe, seu primeiro choro… Nada de errado

> VAR volta ainda mais no tempo, vasculha a vida do pai de Haaland, da sua mãe, dos seus avós, bisavós, tataravós…

> verão de 793 d.C.
Na pequena aldeia de Skarvik, em um fiorde da costa da atual Noruega, vivia Eirik,Haaland o Lobo do Mar, um guerreiro experiente e capitão de um navio chamado Serpente Cinzenta. Sua aldeia enfrentava um inverno rigoroso, e os estoques de alimento e prata eram escassos.
Em uma manhã envolta por neblina, Eirik reuniu cerca de quarenta guerreiros. Com escudos de madeira pintados em vermelho e preto, machados afiados e lanças, embarcaram rumo ao oeste, atravessando o Mar do Norte.
Dias depois, avistaram uma pequena ilha com um grande mosteiro de pedra: Lindisfarne. Do alto dos mastros, um dos homens apontou para os telhados e disse:
- "Há riqueza ali."
Os monges não esperavam um ataque. Enquanto alguns copiavam manuscritos e outros rezavam, os navios vikings tocaram a praia. Os guerreiros desembarcaram rapidamente e avançaram pelo terreno.
Os sinos do mosteiro começaram a tocar, mas já era tarde. As portas foram arrombadas. Objetos de ouro e prata usados nas cerimônias religiosas foram recolhidos, baús foram abertos e alimentos estocados para o inverno foram levados. Alguns monges fugiram pelos campos; outros foram capturados.
Após poucas horas, Eirik ordenou a retirada. Os navios voltaram ao mar carregando provisões, metais preciosos e outros bens de valor. A fumaça do saque podia ser vista à distância enquanto a frota desaparecia no horizonte.
Quando os sobreviventes retornaram ao mosteiro, encontraram o lugar devastado. A notícia do ataque espalhou-se pelos reinos cristãos, tornando-se um dos episódios que marcariam o início da chamada Era Viking.

Huh!

I went ahead and looked, and the team with higher youth male unemployment won 62.5% of R16 games from 1994 to 2022.

To get this p-value (0.06) to significance, we have to include the 2026 games so far (0.017).

Neat!

VAR was introduced by governing football bodies so they could make sure the right sort of teams stayed above the wrong sort of result.
This world cup is seeing its flowering.

[Fans against VAR @FansAgainstVAR_]

VAR will obviously never work. It will only be scrapped if we interrupt games and demand it

[Mike @mobik76]

VAR doing what it was always brought in to do.

[ཊལབསརངཧ @David_Rudnick]

this game offering a tantalizing glimpse of what a world cup in a country that likes football might be like if Fifa ever deigns to have one again

@SophyRidgeSky Top less would be brave.

FIFA have confirmed that our Round of 16 tie against Mexico has been delayed until 2am (UK) due to adverse weather conditions in Mexico City.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Recently, FIFA suspended Nepal’s football federation over government interference. Several federations have faced sanctions for the same reason.

Now we learn the White House made a direct call to FIFA asking Infantino to review Balogun’s red card.

FIFA insists the decision was handled by an independent disciplinary panel and could not be influenced externally.

But how is a direct call from a government to FIFA over a player’s suspension not, at the very least, political interference?

[Mike @mobik76]

Money talks.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

England's World Cup last-16 tie with Mexico is set to be moved to 19:00 BST on Sunday.

Fifa is understood to be bringing forward the game at Azteca, Mexico City, which had been scheduled to kick off at 01:00 BST on Monday (18:00 local time on Sunday).

Forecasts suggest there could be thunderstorms and heavy rain around this time, although Fifa has not yet provided any explanation.

I don’t think if the ball touched someone’s hair is a thing VAR was ever meant to solve

[Sir Geoff Hurst @TheGeoffHurst]

Harry Kane saves the day. He is astounding isn’t he everyone. He carries on doing what he does best. If we are to win it , it will be because of him.

[Mike @mobik76]

@nocontextfm1 Nice to see one of them not given. Just not against us.
