If I lived anywhere but texas I'd watch that England vs Senegal in a bar...actually a tavern, we have a few still up in New England (old grist mills) ...and id get a Shepard pie and a lager first while I eat...by the fireplace...and then I'd order a stout...or 2...
I lived in Spain for about a year, when Madrid played Barcelona every bar and restaurant with a TV would be jammed pack with people yelling and screaming for the entire match.....it was hard to even order a beer as the bartender would be watching the game.

Team USA did OK considering their youth,conceeding second goal prior to half was a mortal error that doomed them, they showed good fight closing to 2-1 but again fell asleep not marking the far post on the Dutch's 3rd goal which showed their youthful inexperience. The US midfield is outstanding and put good pressure on all opponents, for 2026 they need to find a finisher at the striker position and they can be deadly,I'm in an area that has a good no. of Brazillian's who have immigrated here,maybe the next Pele will be at the #9 position in 2026 for team USA, From what I've watched France and Brazil are the cream of the crop,MBappe and Neymar both surrounded by a cast that no one can match are the favorites,also don't sleep on Messi and his Argentine side as a darkhorse.IMO Mbappe is the best most explosive player in the world right now.

Japan and Croatia were still tied after 30 extra minutes of OT, so next is round of 5 penalty kicks...Croatia easily wins

Brazil dominates Korea 4 -1 .....Brazil was up 4 -0 by the 37 minutes mark....not much excitement to that game

Today's matches should be good ones

Morocco vs Spain
Portugal vs Switzerland

Well it doesn't get much better than that for a World Cup final.

Argentina up 2-0 then France ties it, then Argentina scores in OT, then France ties it at 116 minutes..... both teams had decent opportunities to score again in OT but neither did......so penalty kicks to decide who wins the match, the World Cup 2022

Argentina wins the World Cup 2022

Messi played an awesome game :)

BTW: yesterday Croatia won 2-1 over Morocco to win 3rd place
