After Michigan's win, I'm done with sports for the year.

I'd just like to not be embarrassed by the performance of the host country. They won the Asia Cup last time ffs so they're not bad.

1: It's normal for the coach to be fired after 2 consecutive losses to TTUN, but this loss was so crushing that they are getting rid of the University President.

4: Are you rooting for your host country? I guess it's a little like how I find myself rooting for Ohio State even though I attended the archrival, and I'm officially neutral and refuse to watch.

6 they can't go forward anyway (and not over USA when they could have) but yes, I'd like to see them do well.

Gee got fired for anti-Catholic statements for repeating jokes that Catholics make all the time? Ohio is really trying to become a parody.

I'm rooting against Senegal because of the laser in the eyes shenanigans against Egypt during the qualifiers

That was AFCON, not qualifiers, right? Lasers are bad, but everyone was doing it, Egypt included.

I had a boss who was raised in Ecuador but of Norwegian-Minnesota ancestry. I always liked him.

Is there any chance that Iran is so upset by the loss that they invade Saudi Arabia so Biden can tell the Saudis to go fuck themselves?

I'm so bummed I missed it! I looked up the local time but it turned out to be wrong. I did read the recap, though; sounds like he did well.

I'm not a big Mexico team hater, even if their soccer fans throw too many batteries, but if they go out of the World Cup because they have too many Yellow Cards that would be hilarious.
