I’m completely neutral but I can see some smarting from the US losing to the waffle people.

The loss didn’t bother me....the disrespect and mocking our President while we’re being their host is inexcusable.

And I haven’t heard a word of apology.

GO ANYBODY ELSE!

The Argentina vs Egypt match was a classic, Argentina the defending champ looked defeated down 2-0 with less than 10 minutes to go in regular time, scored twice to tie the game then scored again in extra time to win it 3-2.

The Egyptian Coach went ballistic, especially after waving the Palestinian flag in a previous match got an Israeli flag waved in his face.

Of the 8 remaining teams 6 are European 1 African and the defending champion Argentina from South America. Just their geographical classification not the team makeup.

I’ve become a fan of Norway and their superstar Erling Haaland, who looks like a classic Nordic Viking.

I prefer regular waffles over the Belgian "sponge cake" variation. Waffle House is one of the few places that serves them (iHop and Denny's serves Belgian, last I checked)

That’s him, I read he eats a 6,000 calorie a day diet filled with beef hearts and liver, raw milk, etc. and trains like a madman.

Here is one of his personal videos after a recent match in Dallas, he and a few of his teammates stopped at a western store so they could buy authentic cowboy hats and boots.

Evidently, Haaland paid for everything
