(3,569 posts)The tourney was the best ive seen. Superstars emerging (Mbappe) superstars swan songing, (Messi, Ronaldo), upsets, surprises galore, excellent tight games and a Pussy Riot action. Was a great tourney.

(14,565 posts)One of the extremely few times Trump has been accurate about anything. The number of stoppage time goals and set piece goals were remarkable. I think there was only one 0-0 game. The final featured 6 goals compared to 1 in each of the past two.
The new review technology worked very well, for the most part.
Difficult to argue against this being one of the best World Cups ever. In fact, the announcers have been asserting it as the single best ever for more than a week.

Oops. That doesn't exactly fit his narrative expressed a few days ago that immigration "changed the fabric of Europe and, unless you act very quickly, its never going to be what it was, and I dont mean that in a positive way."

He's just using the occasion to kiss up to his great friend, Putin.
