I thought Sengal should have been awarded 1, maybe 2 penalties. One on the forearm to the head in the box and then one on the potential handball.

Would have been nice to have additional camera angles on the potential handball. It's possible that the Sarr actually blocked his own shot with his own hand lol. It was hard to tell which is why additional camera angles would have been nice. The Norwegian player had his arm out like a chicken wing making himself bigger.

Edit: I finally found a clearer video and I think Sarr did in fact block his own shot with his hand .

99% chance to play Bosnia in rd32

6/24/2026 5:06:04 PM

Haiti vs Morocco has been quite entertaining.

6/24/2026 6:56:15 PM

I assume they'll rest Pulisic tonight since we're already on to the 32? (I haven't read or heard anything)

6/25/2026 11:37:34 AM

I was talking with someone else who was thinking maybe they'll give him a half since he hasn't played in 2 weeks, which seems like a good idea

6/25/2026 11:58:38 AM

Yea id say he starts and plays 20-25

6/25/2026 12:32:31 PM

Turkey must be Sith bc they went 0% on shots first two games and then 100% tonight

6/25/2026 10:19:31 PM

This is a typical US game

6/25/2026 10:32:01 PM

We see why Tim Ream is still starting

6/25/2026 10:36:39 PM

Jesus…this halftime show is atrocious

6/25/2026 10:57:25 PM

What a shit result

6/26/2026 12:02:57 AM

Not a good way to go into knockouts with the nutmeg of our best player to lose at the last second

6/26/2026 12:35:52 AM

I know you guys probably know this... but there was no tactical benefit to USA going balls to the wall for a victory in that game. That would have risked injuries and cards. Better to take it easy at this point and save energy for the knockouts.

6/26/2026 9:11:45 AM

^agreed the game didn’t matter in that we had already won the group, and obviously needed to keep those with yellow cards out and keep starters healthy. More of a confidence / momentum thing IMO.

6/26/2026 12:47:36 PM

Agreed but it would have been nice for someone to take a yellow on the last play since they wipe out after group play.

It’s not a huge deal to lose but a tie was the more just result considering we played much better in the second half (also had Pulisic on the field so there’s probably some correlation there, hmmm)

6/26/2026 4:20:50 PM

Unfair to have Dembele and mbappe on same team

6/26/2026 4:25:28 PM

Cape Verde!!!

6/26/2026 10:05:39 PM

there’s a TWW’er who currently lives in Cape Verde

damn happy for them

6/27/2026 1:36:29 AM

This should definitely be kept a secret.

I assume it's an inactive one?

6/27/2026 7:35:11 AM

So I guess there ended up being no drama at pride game/ egy-iran?

6/27/2026 11:36:43 AM

After the crazy Austria/Algeria ending, Lalas said something like "I tell ya, Iran just can't catch a break these days"

6/29/2026 9:53:41 AM

I managed to snag face value tickets for England vs Congo in Atlanta on Wednesday. I guess insomnia has its benefits every now and then. Anyone else going?

6/29/2026 11:26:32 AM

Japan with a shocker!

6/29/2026 1:42:12 PM

^^ i was at the congo / uzbekistan match this past weekend and the congo fans were loud - you'll have an amazing time

my next match is the R16 in atlanta

6/29/2026 2:55:23 PM

Paraguay with the first big upset. Germans are out in the round of 32

6/29/2026 7:30:57 PM

That was very fun!

Also, both from rodger Sherman:

What a fucking goal by Morocco

6/29/2026 10:54:05 PM

A penalty own goal??

[Edited on June 29, 2026 at 11:54 PM. Reason : Wow..... ]

Again after no penalty for England

7/1/2026 12:55:06 PM

I heard someone got a red card cause they covered their mouth to talk shit to another player. Story headline seemed kind of odd.

In other news, my apt is doing a watch party at 7pm. You all are invited, wonder if any poontangs will be in attendance

7/1/2026 1:01:23 PM

Maybe that girl that posted the note with the metal clip that had been painted over.

7/1/2026 1:06:53 PM

^^what should i bring?

And yea WC instituted a rule that covering your mouth to talk to opposing team is auto red

7/1/2026 1:34:44 PM

What apt?

7/1/2026 2:15:29 PM

USA USA USA!

LFG.

7/1/2026 7:26:17 PM

Here we go!

7/1/2026 7:34:25 PM

Senegal so so unlucky

7/1/2026 8:13:03 PM

Maybe we try the left side sometime

7/1/2026 8:39:01 PM

Or middle, Tyler Adam's mostly not in the game other than the goal. But we got the goal and a couple great chances! let's have a great second half


Also, semi off topic, but it seems like I've seen lots of instances of teams kicking the ball away after a foul but not many yellow cards...?

[Edited on July 1, 2026 at 9:02 PM. Reason : E]

7/1/2026 8:59:07 PM

So many bad passes

7/1/2026 9:19:57 PM

Are we playing Herzegovina too, or just Bosnia?

7/1/2026 9:20:58 PM

Are we gonna get fucked

[Edited on July 1, 2026 at 9:30 PM. Reason : Bullshit]

7/1/2026 9:48:35 PM

7/1/2026 9:48:49 PM

Absolutely perfect
