I missed the recovery. I was out riding my bike. Bummer!

I just learned that the Morocco-France game is gonna be refereed by 5 argentinians. That is VERY shady, expect really shady stuff.
Forgive me but after the France-Paraguay quagmire, I got reasons to get paranoïd.

They are quite cheap, don't worry. Send some of Bokassa's diamonds and you are done.

It's a shame but I think you need a text analysis here.
What I mean is that there won't be a strict respect of the rule with those 5 referees.
Have you watched France Paraguay ? Check the internet for the best compilations of f*cked up stuff where the rule was nowhere to be found.

It's all the same in pro sports, too much money at stake and it is entertainment. No one is policing it. There is no legal requirement for a fair outcome, only revenue and entertainment. That point was made and you said inventing conspiracy. Without trying to be rude, haven't recent events shown that to everyone? It's true in most high money televised sports.
I like this thread and watching the World Cup.

More a factual statement than an argument Prof.

A factual statement quoted as a proof is de facto an argument.

I don't know what more I can say. You don't seem stupid so I must conclude you're refusing to understand what I wrote.
And which part of my statement is not factual?

You really are doubling down as moderator.
The USMNT team had zero to do with that. The political backlash should not remotely touch them. In fact I venture it distracted and weakened the USA team.
It's hard for me to not attach some political comments to this, but I refrain because that's not the discussion here.
The problem here is many are confusing two separate issues and hence confuse:
1. "I don't like the law on ankle contact. "
with
2. "The referee misapplied the law."
I personally answer 1 with "yes" but 2 with "no".
I watched the Argentina–Egypt match, and Egypt had a perfectly legal second goal disallowed.
After 60 years of watching football starting on black and white TVs
I have little faith in FIFA. Under Infantino's openly corrupt questionable leadership, I wouldn't be surprised if those five Argentine referees found a way to help Morocco against the France team. In a match that's likely to be decided by the smallest margins, one or two controversial decisions can make all the difference.No offence to the Moroccan team they've been playing excellent football and certainly don't need any favours

It is very factual. It's also an own goal. Will you see it?

Don't worry, half the French team are African
My workmate from Cameroon thinks that Africa is a hidden football superpower, at least on par with South America and Europe. The reason it isn't is because the developmental programs aren't there because governments are so dysfunctional.
