The World Cup And How It Pertains To Our Game Against Florida State

[BBallF]

France 4, the Argentina I'm rooting for, 1.....-- but maybe the "Bleu"..."flu" ("fleu" ) will slow down Les Bleu....., Lou's Les Bleu, that is.....

I wonder if the Cup final game was possibly changed from the usual local start time for big soccer games of 9 or 10 pm, in Quatar this time, (1 or 2 pm East coast USA time), to the 10am USA east coast time, 6pm in Qatar, to avoid any conflict with huge USA and worldwide NFL TV audience, at that 1-2 PM, east coast USA time -- even though there will regardless be billions watching elsewhere worldwide.....

Me encanta a Messi porque jugaba miles de anyos para mi equipito Barcelona... a quien espero que vuelva, pronto...!

El unico tio que trajo bandera Argentina a partidos UConn........

Very nice but the real reason there was a time change is because the UCONN game is at 1:00 pm! I mean, C'mon that's a no brainer.

I'm getting slightly worried about our backcourt concentration today.

At the half it's Argentina 2 and France 0.

Mbappe salvaged the game for Les Bleues. It's 2-2 in extra time.

Whew! I'm exhausted from watching. I'll need a quick power nap before the Huskies play.

Match ends, Argentina 3(4), France 3(2).

Le sigh.

Can't take it seriously when you end a championship game with a penalty shootout. Like settling a tie in the seventh game of the World Series with a Home Run Derby.

You can bet that both teams, the passionate crowd at the game and probably hundreds of millions around the world took those PKs very seriously.

Agreed, it's not an ideal scenario but the drama and the talent those shots (and potential keeper saves) demand make it a riveting way to decide the championship.
