I thought the NRL and AFL commentators were poor, it felt like our lot had placed the mortgage payment on Turkiye!

Turkey have a much stronger team of individuals, and for the most part played pretty well

This was a major win for us, and won well.

I had greek commentary over here so cant comment on that.

Least excited ive been for a world cup in years.

I have little interest in soccer outside of 2 things....

1. My son plays soccer, so i watch that every week.
2. The world cup.

Only today did i learn that there are 48 teams this year, thats how much of an eye i've been keeping on it.

Can anyone share how that came about?

Reeks of someone like Trump wanting bragging rights of 'the biggest' or 'the best'.

Up until a few days ago I couldn't have named one player or the coach in the team, now I know a few with one absolute stand out, Nesory Irankunda who just kicked our first goal of the tournament. He's young and small with a kick that is said to have put a ball through a net. Apparently he got that from his ol man who was know to break goal posts with a kick of the ball. Nes once hit a defender in the head and was concussed for a month. He has been known to do a Michael Jackson dance while donning a white clittery glove after a goal. I think this world cup might be fun to watch.
