This will remain a mystery as much as why Sorloth did not pass the fucking ball to Halland!
There was no mystery. Sorloth was simply an asshole.
The Swedes are known for their commitment to selfless play in any team sport.
I'm guessing that's less of a Norwegian quality.

Of course, when you are making €7 million per year playing for Atletico Madrid you might develop a bit of ego.

How crazy is that ? England 4-0 in the first period. Either the French have given up or maybe adding Saka made the difference. Or maybe France was overrated.
They're not overrated, it's 4-2 now so Les Bleus haven't surrendered yet. France's main problem imo was the team has played for Mbappe
and not for France, unlike the English or the Argentines.

Strange that France didn't do much the first period, then came back like crazy in the second. Almost like a exhibition game. Bellingham was very cool with that last goal. Saka scored 3

Incredible match. France had so many good chances. They *could’ve* caught up fully or even won. Their goaltender backbencher was clearly rusty… the defenders did better keeping than him.

Both teams come away with something satisfying. Mbappe claims the scoring record and England brings home bronze. Almost feels *too* good for both sides. Some coordination, or at least an unspoken understanding, between their camps would not be surprising to me.

It’s still a great and rare thing to see a double digit goal game without it being a one-sided blowout.

England also takes home $29M in prize money; France takes home $27M. Canada would dream of that prize money because %50 of it goes into youth soccer (under 20, under 18, under 17, etc) in Canada. The other %50 is split among the players.

I completely agree.

Now Sorloth will need one hell of an ego to go on. That moment will probably remain the defining moment of the World Cup. Ouch!

Lamine Yamal has so far not been a major factor in this World Cup.

I hope today he becomes the one doing the pass over from Messi.

As much as I think we may never see a player as intelligent and with so many skills as Messi I hope Spain wins this World Cup with Yamal scoring a beauty for the title.

I'm not really rooting for either Spain or Argentina. I just want to see an exciting final. It definitely won't end up anywhere near yesterday's match of 10 goals. I imagine this will be a tight low scoring affair.
