This is an outrage and a conspiracy to keep team USA down, action...harsh action is a must! Where's VAR headquarters at and why isn't the orange blowhard threatening republic of VAR with love taps?!?

As for Congo vs Belgium... Congo's prevent defense only prevented them from winning. They switched out their attackers for defenders and boop went from Congo being up 2-0 to Belgium scoring 3 goals.

Never go re.. prevent defense... never!

Yeah, and it’s the wrong call. No red for Messi in a similar situation

The call seemed fair.

Some incredible drama yesterday! Well done USA and Belgium. And a special welcome to the world of VAR for our American friends.

Depending on the coverage they should either remain in cover 2 or cover 3 for a short time at least

You mean Senegal? You are right. Senegal should have played offensively and kept the ball on the other half. Instead they gave away 2 goals within the final 3 minutes.

Yes I meant Senegal couldn't tell them apart.

Loving this American terminology. I fully intend to use "Prevent defense" and "cover 2/3" in my workplace football discussions henceforth.

France/Spain–Argentina final, most likely.

Hoping for an Arab victory (Morocco, Algeria, or Egypt), but that is highly unlikely unless Morocco performs better than ever and has all the margins in its favor.

Most likely, we will see a nation that has already won the World Cup win it again.

Hard to look past France though. Best team on paper and that attack is scary. I have seen few teams with such a depth of attacking talent. That work hard without the ball as well.

If they had a better midfield, they would be locked in as a winner, excluding injuries, a complete off day and similar.
