I still think the winner of France/England wins the entire thing. So I think France will repeat.

If you make it to the semis without getting suspended (two Argentinians will miss the semi for yellows today), then your yellow card accumulation resets.
So, for example, Messi picked up a yellow today, but if he picks up one in the semi, he wouldn't be suspended for the final if Argentina make it.
I just read the rules wrong. That is crap though, Ballack missed the 2002 final because of this.

What CF said, they reset after this round.
Only way you miss the Final now is a red in the semis.

That might have been the reason they changed it, actually.
It's bullshit that a player would miss a final for a yellow card in a semi.
I sort of agree, but it was also crap that Argentina didnt have anyone sent off tonight. This is what they do. The ref was terrible, worse than Oliver who did a poor job.

Montiel and (I think) Acuna. I can't remember the second player offhand, but I think it's Acuna.

Given the situation it’s easy to imagine things but I can’t really see nefarious goings-on here. He was in his seat, there were other journalists there, he collapsed, they called for help, paramedics showed up…
Not clear if he died at the scene, in the hospital, or somewhere en route. Just a very sad thing. His wife is a physician who worked on Biden’s transition team and the White House was apparently contacted. So I assume there will be some high level communications going on.

Yeah, or something. In the Wash Post article it quotes him from earlier saying that his body was broken down from stress, lack of sleep. Unless he was somehow poisoned I don’t see how he could have been killed while he was watching the game.

Dont looked more than 20 minutes of the world Cup. On work german fans switch on the TV. Japan scored the 2 goals vs Germany in that time. I have seen enough in that 20 minutes. Fake fans in the stadium and so on. I cant bring myself to look shitshows like that. Its worse than the flyers and Cucky!
Iam NOT suprised

What a mistake by the goalie.
Eh, maybe not so much a mistake as a great header.
