@@dantralius9269 Yeah, that's true. I did remember they gave a lot of added time in that Spain versus Costa Rica game whereas I thought they may as well just call it a day after 90 minutes.

If one party is up by 3 or more goals over the other party, you may well just end it after 90 minutes. But if there's still all to play for, then go ahead with those 10+ minute added times.
Group E was the most entertaining group during the tournament. When all 4 teams still had a shot of going through, it provided so much tension and drama showing the true magic of the World Cup.

Hello! Interesting trivia - we - Croatia is the country with the smallest pop. among the last 16 by far. We have a pop. of 3.8 mil. and Japan has 125 mil. The US has 331 mil. Brasil 250 mil. The closest to Croatia are Switzerland at 8.6 and Portugal at 10.3. Also, we played the Olympic finals against the Dream Team in basketball, Tony Kukoc for the Chicago Bulls, won the Davis Cup, won Wibledon, won Roland Gaross, won the US Open, had the best female ski competitor in the world, handball world and Olympic champs, waterpolo European and Olympic champs, multiple boxing champs, Mirko Crocop for MMA. The USMNT's best player Pulisic is of Croatian decent, as well as former MMA heavyweight champ Miocic, and Bill Belichick. I could go on but it'd be too long.

I watched them all, too! In AZ, so i was up at 245 each morning... Started liking it by the end, haha... Really added to it feeling like a special occasion!
I watched every game as well!!! Except for whatever reason i naturally wake up at 4 am so it was nothing for me. And being an elementary PE teacher I had that entire week off for thanksgiving
Months ago i predicted germany, denmark and canada not passing the group stage for being countries with cold temperatures playing in one of the hottest countries in the world, people didn't believe me and now look how things turned.
Bro, there were world cup in warm places before. You dont see african and south americans complaining about playing in cold places 3 out of 4 world cups.
🤯I didn't realize the Saudi Arabian goal against Mexico didn't matter!!! I thought it meant Mexico needed two goals (not one) to pass!!! I don't think anyone in Mexico knew this. The morale nosedived after their goal and even the commentators were saying their goodbyes to the world cup right after it happened. Crazy to think that a single goal would have brought up Mexico to second place because of Goals Scored 🤯🤯🤯
I very much wanted USA to progress but then my prediction would have been wrong which is: Final will be between England and Netherlands, Dutch will win2-1 😳🎉👏⚽🙂
Honorable mentions(imho): Ecuador robbed against Netherlands (no offside goal). Brazil, France and Portugal had a ''B'' team on last match of group stages. Szczęsny was a beast and the big reason Poland classified in 2nd.
we always seem to be carried by our goalies lol. The Euro 2016 quarterfinal run was totally on the back of Fabiański. I'm glad Szczęsny got his moment of fame, he had bad luck in the national team before, sent off and dropped in 2012 and injured in 2016 (and th entire team was an embarrassment to football itself in 2018). But he was clearly the player who carried us to the knockouts, no way we do it otherwise
I know national teams like Sweden, Norway Finland, Scotland, Egypt, Chile, Peru and other teams like these that didn't even qualify would all have destroyed Qatar as well.
14:21 Switzerland and Serbia do not hate each other. The problem is more that Serbia, Kosovo and Albania don't really get along (complicated and hateful past). Now Switzerland has a few players with a Kosovo/Albanian background. And the fact that provocations regularly come from these and Serbian players makes such games very charged and sometimes also (intentionally or unintentionally) political. (For example, the eagle gesture with the hands during the goal celebration in the last encounter).
Sweden's women's team is literally like European women version of Brazil's men's team that's how stupidity good the Swedish women's team is. Sweden's women's team has never missed a quater final a women's world cup. Our women's national team has 3 bronze medals and one silver medals for the women's world cup when the first women's world cup was in 1991 is freakingly good. In the women's European championship Sweden women's team has 1 gold 3 silver and 5 bronze medals. First women's European championship was in 1984. Sweden's women's national team also has 2 Olympic silver medals. Sweden's women team infact is ranked 2:nd in the world and deservingly so. Our womens team qualified for the women's world cup 2023 after winning every single qualifying match and coming out with maximum amount of points.
8:50 Tunisia wouldn't have gone through. If Denmark had won even 1-0 then Tunisia and Denmark would have the same GD, however because Denmark scored against France they'd go through on GF. Denmark would've gad 2 GF and Tunisia would've had 1 GF.
Me judging harshly to the week comment… then sniffing my armpit and realizing it might have been the same problem. Granted I had to water for the last 2 days because my water heater was getting replaced but they did everything they could to fix it so a 1 hour job turned into 2 days -.-
I'm rooting Brazil so much, but it's very sad that on every game they lose 1 or 2 players for injury right away. Never seen smth like that before, so weird and even looks like a joke. This way, if they manage to reach finals, there won't be players to play lol
at least neymar is back... (even thou a lot of Brazilians don't approve that...) i fell sad about Telles... the guy was called as a backup of a backup and was doing great...
@@TheDrokz yep, Telles leaving is a real lost, he was doing good las match. Also not gonna lie I'm happy Gabriel Jesus was ruled out 😂 He definitely can't make it playing by WC and Pedro needs way more opportunities than him by now.
@@StijndeLaat It's humanly impossible. If he was an AI then it was possible. U can stream 2 matches in the same time on 2 screens but humans won't be able to see the 2 watches in the same time.

Shame they backed down on the copious amounts of added time, was a great punishment against time wasting in regular time.
