The best Portuguese number 7 at the World Cup

Stephen Eustáquio is the first ever No 7 who has represented Portugal to score a goal in a World Cup knockout game.

@will_jeanes And they won!

Canada today become the first host nation in the history of the World Cup to play a game outside their own country in a tournament they hosted.

WE ADVANCE!!! OUR FIRST WORLD CUP KNOCKOUT STAGE VICTORY IN HISTORY!!!! #CANMNT #OurGameNow

@DavidMuttering Unbelievable as you can’t get a docs appointment that quick

@blaugranaana It is a great place!

Canada is such a silly place, but aww so happy for my sons 🥺

@Readerbell_ Hopefully it is a short book

A Prime Video adaptation happening to me and a book I liked again.

@JeffreyRader Trying to see how it applies to the World Cup

This thread is wild.. and I certainly did not know any of this.

@David_Moscrop Ref looks committed to not giving Canada a penalty

South Africa walking a fine line with some of these tackles. I'd expect a card sooner rather than later, or a penalty for Canada. I've seen this arc before.

Someone is going to end their game with a jersey over the head taking shots from a Canadian... Not sure if it is going to be RSA player or the Ref

@FUser88732 @passfirstmafia @BryanDFischer 100% this

This was not good for the development of the game in Australia. In practice, Australia had to play an intercontinental knockout qualifier every four years - effectively, only two truly competitive matches in a four-year cycle. Qualifiers in the OFC often ended 10–0, 15–0 or even 20–0 in Australia’s favour. The record was 31–0, achieved with what was effectively Australia’s second-best side. Then Australia would have to face the fifth-best nation from South America - Argentina with Diego Maradona and Gabriel Batistuta, or Uruguay. There was little interest towards soccer except for the final 2 play off games for which players playing in Europe would turn in every 4 years. What kind of qualifiers were this for Australia or any country that would be placed in a situation like this?

World Cup knockouts by federation: AFC: 2/9 OFC: 0/1 CAF: 9/10 CONCACAF: 3/6 CONMEBOL: 5/6 UEFA: 13/16

@passfirstmafia @BryanDFischer Also it was an easier path to World Cup Qualification under the previous system as Oceania didn't have a dedicated spot, but had to contest a playoff against a South American team that Australia rarely won.

@BryanDFischer Dumb question why does Australia play in AFC not OFC

@Prominent_Bryan 3-3 crazier!!

@Prominent_Bryan 3-2 - Crazy!!!

It's really hilarious to watch Austria vs Algeria Austria gets nothing out of winning (versus a draw). Literally nothing (they finish second either way) Algeria gets nothing out of a win since they'd play Spain instead of Switzerland So a draw it is I guess

@MaxRadwan The first round of games were fire The second were good These last round mostly mid and with some great moments

Due to the format rather than the football, 48 teams allow the good but not elite nations to have their moment as we’ve seen with the African sides and lower ranked Europeans and South Americans, but there’s basically 0 jeopardy for the big teams

#SaveStargate so we can have a spinoff sitcom about four retired system lords living together in Florida and we can call it the Goa'ulden Girls

@mellowhale If a team has 6 points, they are through If a team has 4 points, enough groups have a third place team on 3 or less points so they will be top 8 third place teams Because they changed it to head 2 head versus goal difference, they finish 2nd no matter how bad the last game goes

I’m gonna need someone to explain to me how teams who haven’t played a third game yet have made it thru already based on the results from today. Please, I do not understand.

@Readerbell_ Hopefully it brings relief

So our thunderstorm is finally here.

Found the true group of death!
