who do we think has the scoring record after this tournament?

Messi has what, 2 up on Mbappe? Hard to bet against the GOAT but sure seems highly likely Mbappe will have the all time record once he's done playing.


Argentina threw away an entire World Cup to make Maradona the manager. Mbappe lucky France is not as incompetent as Argentina was as an organization. It's crazy that 10 of Messi's 16 goals are from the 2022 World Cup + this game.

Argentina's just pushing people over now.

Don't let Messi magic shield you from the fact that the rest of the team still plays dirty like the rest of South America

Nik Otamendi is the dirtiest player out there.

Jordan's anthem gets a B minus, but extra credit for being short and sweet

Austria's anthem is boring. A fun fact about it that I recently made up: translated into English, the last line means "We gave the world Hitler, sorry about that!"

Arghhh, Jordan with a flurry. Hopefully they can bury one soon and equalize before half.

What are the benefits of being a #1 vs a #2 seed coming out of the group stage?

. 1 seed most likely plays a 3 seed from another group. Some play 2 seeds from other group. 2 seed likely gets you a 2 seed from another group, but also could be a 1 seed (12 groups, 8 3 seeds advance).

1 seed:

Guaranteed not to play another 1 seed in the round of 32.

Winners of C (Brazil?), F (Netherlands?), H (likely Spain), and J (probably Argentina) play a group runner up in round of 32 and then another group runner up in round of 16)

Other group winners (potentially including USA, Mexico, America's Hat) get a 3rd place team in round of 32 but can face a group winner in round of 16

2 seed:
No chance to play a 3 seed in round of 32

2nd place in C, J, F, and H play a group winner in round of 32: bad news for group J second place (Austria?), who would likely get Spain and group H second place (Uruguay or Saudi?), who likely play Argentina

Ohh Ok, makes sense with the new format...so that gets us to 36 32 total teams who advance to the knockout stage. Got it, thanks Gordo!

Correct. Well 32 teams advance - why the top 8 3 seeds advance so it's reducible to 2 without byes.

Yeah you have to call it. But I feel for the Austrian guy who thought he scored a goal. Wasn't his fault and it was pretty minimal contact. But I doubt it falls for him if his arm didn't make contact.

Did the Algeria GK get credited for two assists? At least his third goal was legit.

Even this supposed low level match between Jordan and Austria felt civilizational in scale. Nothing compares to these matches except the Olympics.

The Stadium was full except the "dignitaries/VIP" seats. Jordan fans were entertaining and loud as hell but the Austrians were more and louder. The FOX broadcast doesn't capture how loud the inside of the stadiums get. This is weird because during college football games, they seem to amplify the noise; here they actively seem to drown it out.

The public transportation was decent all things considered. A LOT of wholesome conversations and interactions between Jordanians and Austrians the whole way there, in the stadium, and on the way back.

For those who can afford it: get to a match! Its a special experience.

Plenty of USA jerseys at the England game yesterday. Be different. 95% of that crowd is wearing a Messi jersey

Was at the Portugal match and there were several Mexican fans with Mexican flags. Maybe because both flags got green in them so they figured it was close enough.
