Only question marks left are which of Algeria, Austria and Iran go through. Guess which one is geopolitically juicy.

The World Cup round of 32 is nearly set. Look at all that 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙.

Only two group stage games remain...

[Omar @socialchanger]

Got #WorldCup fever and also struggling to stay on top of the sheer volume of goings-on?

It’s not just you.

With the expanded field, there are now 72 matches before we even get to the knockouts and back to the original 32 teams. The ENTIRETY of 2022 Qatar was 64 matches.

Stu Holden is the best commentator of all the commentators.

Not even close.

@TheAthleticFC Unpopular opinion: this is way too many teams. Cut the field in half for knockouts not a third

My enduring image of France vs Iraq. I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia?!

Dynamic pricing in full effect during delay for insane weather in Philly for France v Iraq

Dear @FOXSoccer and @YouTubeTV — in “View Highlights” mode for World Cup games, PLEASE SHOW the precipitating event that led to a penalty kick (or a retake of it!), not just the penalty itself.

🙏

[Omar @socialchanger]

Good things happen to individuals when they orient toward the collective.

Messi always makes it about his teammates, the fans, his coaches, his country and clubs.

Ronaldo, by contrast, always makes it about Ronaldo.

The 🐐 debate is beyond over.

“Football is a game where 22 people run around for 90 minutes and then Germany wins.” —Gary Lineker

The odds are longer on Germany to win by 3 goals than to win by 6. Sportsbooks expecting a bloodbath vs the smallest nation to ever make the World Cup

Here was Mauricio Pochettino on his selection of Gio Reyna for the World Cup roster.

“A very special player with a very special talent.”

Aged very well.

Balogun scoring early is HUGE. #USMNT has always missed a clinic finisher in Cups.

Let’s keep him rolllllling
