It's amazing how much less dead air there is on most Telemundo broadcasts as compared to the Fox ones. I bet the Telemundo guys are saying 3-4x what the American broadcasts are saying. And for the most part, it's not, "Watch James Cordon tonight."
There's a lot of "Mire el senior de los cielos" or "El turco" or whatever. But takes less than a second and they get back to it.
Seems like Spanish commentators have sort of radio tradition where the game is narrated and they dynamism of the game is conveyed.
English narrate as it was a rando on a bar with brain damage and no interior monologue.
Welp that's it. Seems like Morocco lost whatever air they started off in the first goal. Even Paraguay tried harder to score with just one guy.

Latin America has it too this culture of Radio transmission. English narration almost seems disinterested. When I was watching J League games they had an english narrator and he made it boring

Well, it looks like some egyptians hacked the AFA page(Argentina's football association) and made it show this picture on a black background I can't find the one with proper pictures
here's an article in spanish that has talked about it, there are others floating around but it's still very recent here | archive
Obviously inspired after what Egypt's DT said after the match, that they got rigged and all.
And speaking of that...
This is a 2025 match between Racing and Barracas(this club is coincidentally from Chiqui's). As you can see after the minute 15:00, Racing's goal was nullified after checking up the var and catching a pentaly in favor of Barracas.
So about this, they can't really call the var if they're still playing per se, and if it somehow ends up in a goal before checking the var, and find a penalty, they can outright nullify it. It's a wild situation, from winning 1-0 to losing 0-1 at the last second.
This is what happened with that second goal from Egypt, according to da rules, they were still playing so they couldn't use the var sinso until the play stops.
I'd really hate it if she gets booted just for trash talking france's favorite nigger, it's a heated debate around here, I'll probably talk more about it later if anything new comes afloat but for the record, I've hated that nigger since day 1.
Goals have been ruled out a million times over for fouls committed before the goal was scored. It's not even that there's precedent, it's just normal and within the rules. It's nothing new unless someone only watches the sport every 4 years. A month's worth of watching the Premier League and you'll have multiple goals ruled out for fouls committed beforehand.
MLS doesn't need relegation (look at Argentina, they have basically done away with relegation through bullshit regulations). What the MLS and USL need is to become a feeder league to Europe and make their money through transfers, TV deals, and attendance. Trying to break into the Top 5 leagues is a terrible idea. But if they can start making good amounts of money by selling American talent to Europe, then there becomes an incentive to develop young talent, which in turn makes these clubs want to find and develop the talent. But there are too many people at the top who don't want to go down this route
Other news for true fans of the thread, Glasner is going to coach Nottingham Forest and Arbeola is going to take over in Fulham. Honestly, I did not see this coming.
Glasner kinda took a step up I guess? Forest will pay more than Crystal Palace for players but their owner is a wild card. While Arbeloa is one I didn't see coming, I like the fact he is going somewhere to prove he is a good coach/manager. If he can do well at Fulham, which is basically just finish mid table and occasionally get a nice cup run, then he can go on to a top team in a smaller league like Marco Silva and follow in his foot steps. He basically got fucked over with Real Madrid so its nice to see he can still get a decent job after that disaster
1. Morocco tried to play nice.
2. Morocco was playing for a 0-0 draw to win on penalty kicks.
3. Everyone has a plan until the get punched in the face - Mike Tyson and France both say that
4. Once France scored, see #3
Spain advances tomorrow after a 0-0 game against Belgium on penalty kicks
Argentina gets dumped by Switzerland unless Argentina gets the 12th man (referee) on their side.
England gets by Norway easily, they will beat the shit out of that Norwegian Barbie doll striker.
You say like this is a good thing, Argentina national league is in shambles and their bloated league and format is one of the reasons to why Brazil is dominating in Libertadores.
Every problem that Brazil had in Brasileirão in the 80s-90s is what we are currently witnessing TODAY in Argentina, it is inexcusable. Liga MX and MLS are examples of what not to do in this regard. And everything barring the national team is probably the master example of what not to do in ANY place in football.
If they think Argentina rigs in international matches, they don't have a fucking clue about what they do in Argentina, that entire country is cursed.

No they didn't, Paraguay played for that 0-0, Morocco tried their game and completely failed at every step, that is the difference. France absolutely mogged them, if you see the stats, almost all their attempts was after the 2-0, when the game was decided already. They simple weren't good enough in this new football they were playing in this WC compared to their last one that had a solid defensive plan.

I don't want MLS to become a major league where players go as a destination. I want American talent to view Europe as the final destination and I want them to view MLS and USL as the means to getting there

USL is introducing a top flight tier next year, along with a USL pyramid. We'll see how it goes. A pyramid in of itself isn't going to elevate USL.
I think the academies tied to many MLS teams is the path forward with youth development. Interestingly, Bayern Munich just opened an academy in Southern California. The next issue is getting kids interested enough to eventually be identified by scouts. The World Cup should increase participation, although the pay to play is still an issue.

For non americans it is already the end of career league alongside Arabia. If you want them to be at least workable, you need pro/rel system. You can have a good players in a bad team that shows up and save a team from relegation. Right now it doesn't matter if they end on 9th or 20th. They will get the same salary regardless.
When it comes from relegated teams, they must sell their players and buy other ones, making the transit of players between teams more often and allowing interchange between different styles of play between players. Making dogshit players seems good in comparison to his previous club. It is something natural in football that players oscilate in quality in their careers/clubs.
But tell me: who will buy the midfielder from a 20th MLS team for 4 years in a row? What does this player provide that you can think it is worth buying? Not even european markets, any other place in the world would see this player and believe in his potential.
The variety of quality between players Ian something that can only exist in pro/relegation system, because it forces competition ALL year long.

Happened with Portugal-Uzbekistan before and it's okay. People will go against some rule, until their team is the one affected. I've been seeing people saying that it's not fair or it's stupid (same with the Portugal-Croatia game and the non-valid Croatia goal, even people saying that Portugal cheated, which for me that's over-exaggerated).
In a way, I can understand the people's complaining, but that's the game's rules, and it's being fair.
