Im not sure about that either. Is it maybe a translation mistake? So it's not mistaken identity but more like "the person who was penalized is not the one who deserved to be penalized" which I'm sure in the refs language is like two syllables.
Fookin' Dootch.

But yeah, I think that new VAR review is for when / if the wrong player was penalized, whether because of misread the jersey number, wrong call made, etc.
 
But the fact that the mens world cup is the only thing that makes money will end up meaning that you will have to either pay FIFA under the table or give them insane amounts of advertising dollars in order to host the tournament. That more or less rules out a European nation hosting it anytime in the future
In the same video I was watching, a former FIFA official said the least important part of the application was the state of stadiums, and the formal presentation. The implication being exactly what you say.

Fuck, look how the Saudis won the World Cup. They invested $2billion (I can't remember the exact number) into DAZN, and then DAZN turned around and spent most of that to broadcast the Club World Cup. Then mysteriously, shortly after, Saudi wins the World Cup bid.

I like america's kit :biggrin: that's my contribution to the discussion around this game
The white back looks really bad but it is probably that way because of regulations to allow visibility.

Also the game got weirder in the second half. USA lost an incredible amount of good chances and even Mauricio scored. Damn I wish he still played in Inter.

LOL USA scored again making the 3 goal difference again. In WC CONCACAF only won against CONMEBOL 3 times out of 30: usa vs Paraguay in 1930, costa rica vs uruguay in 2014 and this very match.
 
I must be dreaming. 4-1 win from the US with possession based, attacking style football. Now, the next games will determine how much of a fluke this could be but there is no doubt this was a good team in Paraguay. You don't auto qualify from South America by being shit. For those who didn't pay attention (although some of these results might be familiar with the brazilian posters) Paraguay beat Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru in qualifiers
 
Alfaro should clearly stick to being a "philosopher" in some third world café, though I have to admit I can't wait to see him twist himself into a 75 dimensional pretzel trying to explain getting buck broken by US right after the whole of the south American journalistic apparatus was done glazing his nuts.
 
USA group is one of the most balanced one, everyone have chances to qualify to next round, they are all at the same level and not unbalanced like some other groups
Turkey, US, Aus, Paraguay is my prediction, Turkey have won 4 out of their last 5 games and drew against Spain but to be fair the 4 games they won were against shit teams

I was surprised how easy the group was when it was drawn. I expect them to win all their group games, all the host nations were given an easy group because I think they counted as a 1st seeded team so they don't have any big hitters in their group. I'm not even sure Canada would've qualified if they weren't hosting but they're bumped up into Pot 1.
It does kind of mess it up when there's two teams that would be in pot 2 who are now in pot 1 and one team that would be in pot 3 that is in pot 1.
