4-3. 2 minutes left.
FT 4-3.
That was a cracker!
That’s ok....part of the fun of World Cup season is bugging non soccer fans! I love the game but cannot watch women’s soccer ( too dykey)!
Must be mostly male thread if they won’t post a Beckham pic!
Very fun match. Congrats to France.
Now, we’ll see how Ronaldo does. Could be another good one.
Kylian Mbappe announced himself on the biggest stage as France beat Argentina to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
The PSG forward is the first teenager to score twice at a World Cup since Pele in 1958

Cavani scores and Uruguay is up early 1-0.
The field is atrocious, players are slipping everywhere.
No surprise there.
Pepe ties it up for Portugal, now 1-1.
Cavani again.....2-1 Uruguay.
Aaand he just did it again. 2-1 Uruguay.
Eh, I was 30 seconds too late. =P Nothing Patricio could have done there.
More players need that skill of one-touching the ball like that...brilliance!
I think Portugal has another goal in them.
Indeed! Too many try to settle it or get a better angle when they could just take the shot.
