Trump has been elected twice. Hes very unpopular and disliked by most everyone who voices an opinion. Yet he must be receiving support to put him in the White House.

I get all the Hitler Paedo hate irrelevance of voting etc etc but

There must be a considerable number of Americans who listen and join in with the anti trump conversation...then go straight out and vote for him.

All the while non Americans are slating him left right and centre.

What does this say about Americans?

It’s quite simple really. Virtue signalling. Liberal/left leaning opinions are ‘allowed’ and ‘socially acceptable’, and as we know all too well in the UK, you have to be very careful what you say, online and off. So the only way forward is silence, and let the votes to the talking.

I guess because they’re expecting to have a lot of games where it is very hot, they need to have a sort of consistent thing of them because it’s clear that apart from having a drink, there’s a lot of coaching going on. It’s quarters. But stop the clock.

Adverts. During the water breaks on US telly they show adverts. $$$

I can't work out why they are having hydration breaks in the last two matches when both have been played in stadiums with the roof on and fully air conditioned.

Does the US Tv shows cut to adverts during these stoppages, thats possibly the answer.

I thought they had a countdown on throws now? How are they giving them that long to take a throw?

Same as the countdown on GKs faffing around. Very occasionally policed.

Ref Clement Turpin has been appointed for the England-Croatia game. TT has history with him. Called him "E grade" after showing TT two YCs when at BM in a CL QF. Happy days.

It's just another indication as to why they just don't get sport.

Well, the issue is now that most clubs in the UK are owned by Americans they see UK Soccer as their sport as opposed to being the sport of the fans. They have a different viewpoint on "sport". This is yet another reason why Global Capitalism is so dangerous.

The Momentum Breaks (aka Hydration breaks) are quite weird considering some of the stadiums are air conditioned. The breaks are not always necessary. Yes, it is pretty obvious that they are "getting adverts into it from an American point of view" (Ian Wright). The perspective is advertising and the global game is all about money these days. for the final there are plans for a half time show of 25-30 minutes like the superb owl - that could really kill some momentum.

Watching the Spain game. Cape Verde have been a breath of fresh air. No fear.

That Real Madrid left back/ left wing/ inside right/ central midfielder / centre forward with the mad hair doesn't look all that.

Doesn’t look like a £50m player.

I saw Best with Alan Mullery at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon.

Best was pissed throughout, but he came out after the interval and was by then spectacularly drunk, he kept repeating himself, made an unforgivable racist comment about Andy Cole which didn't impress a black family in the audience.

Mullery was brilliant though and held it all together, after that Best comment he said whatever is said here stays here, but a couple of weeks later it was in the press. .

I won't repeat it here but it's probably out there somewhere.
