The World Cup format is shocking when they expand it. What makes it even worse is Europe despite having the strongest teams only gets 16 qualifers while every big nation from every other continent pretty much gets a bye into the finals.

This six group format is just so ridiculously bad. You can literally play like ass in the group stages, qualify by sheer luck and 'Greece' their way to a victory.Absolutely. Just look at Portugal in the last Euro Cup Draw - Iceland Draw - Austria Draw - Hungary Move onto knockouts in 3rd place thanks to goal differential Extra Time Win - Croatia Penalties Win - Poland Win - Wales Extra Time Win - France ...

Yeah but those European countries will watch the World Cup anyway, that market's basically saturated.
They want to "grow" the game into those emerging markets. --- Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well if Portugal defend their title and match Spain they'll have done it the hard way this tournament.
I don't like that Belgium defense one bit heading into the match, but hoping they pull through. I'd like a rematch of the World Cup encounter with them. --- Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Alright my second vaccine appointment is scheduled for right after the Portugal game, so the day can't possibly end in disappointment regardless of what happens.
It's going to be in the arena the Toronto Maple Leafs play in, though, so there will be lingering disappointment no matter what. --- I was the final Undisputed Champion in UCA history, but azuarc was our Guru Champion! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Seemed fair to me. Denied a clear goalscoring opportunity. If he had hacked him down instead of it being a handball there would have been no debate and in terms of goalscoring opportunity, it's the same.Even if he got around him the defensive cover was there. Seemed extremely harsh. --- "undertale hangs out with mido" - ZFS Smash Ultimate Switch Code: SW-6933-1523-8505 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pretty much. The next man was behind them and all the way across towards the centre of the box. That's a ton of ground to cover before he could get a shot off.

Watched it again. Horrendous decision on the red card. Everyone keeps saying Schick was through, no he wasn't. De Ligt still had position and Schick was kind of going through the back of him. In fact if De Ligt doesn't handle the ball you could've argued that Schick was fouling him.
