    Side note: arg keeper was a bit of an ass for me.
    During PKs the walks the ball up to the French kicker, then throws it away for kicker to chase…All the while staring down the Frenchman.
    No class. Yellow for me.

    Considering the stakes, possibly the best match I have ever seen. At a bar with people with zero soccer interest and they were memorized after the 80 minute mark.

    There's always shenanigans like that during PKs.

    You should have seen the Australia/Peru shootout in the qualifier playoff. The Aussie keeper was a basketcase of shithousery.

    I watch 0 futbol ever but tuned into this match. I must say the skills of Messi and Mbappe were so evident that they radiated through even my ignorance. A thrilling athletic event.

    Saw that and agree! Jackass move. I’m m all for gamesmanship but that was bush league.
    However
    That was a game for the ages.
    The outgoing king was triumphant
    The incoming king showed why he will be the next great superstar.
    I do feel like the French were suffering the effects of the flu but it was clear the sky blues wanted that game more.
    I’m still on a high from it.

    So this is interesting in a daytime soap level of drama. Claudio Reyna, former USMNT captain and father of Gio Reyna, and his wife Danielle Reyna, Gio Reyna's mother and a former USWNT player under the name Danielle Egan, apparently sent something to US Soccer about a 30ish year old accusation of domestic violence with his now wife (who was Danielle's teammate (and some people have said roommate) at UNC). This is turning quite ugly from two families that have always been considered very close. Not sure how this bell can be unrung.

    Sources: Danielle Reyna gave USSF Berhalter info

    file this under sour grapes, reyna's son did not feature much, if at all in the world cup, petty bs on his part, just my opinion.

    This “hey, I know this guy did some shit 30 years ago BS” has got to stop.
    Immature and desperate folks need to grow the heck up.

    She tries to leverage his stupid and bad behavior from 30 years ago WHILE HES MARRIED TO THE SAME WOMAN for 25+ years!!! It seems his wife has accepted the incident and him as a person. Why the 3rd party stuff?
