Grant, wasn’t Croatia over Japan technically an “upset”? Japan had won their group.
I was thrilled that Portugal played its best game of the tournament without Ronaldo. He’s burning down his own legacy as fast as he possibly can. They could win it. But I hope Morocco beats them. Then we don’t have to hear any more about him.
Any Qatari cuisine that’s comparable to “space borscht”?
This tournament keeps getting better and better, it’s perfect (and has been since 2014, but more so the last two because of better groups using rankings over geography). FIFA going to a 48-team tournament in future editions is the worst decision possible, I hate it and it makes me sad that this will be the last one.
All the folks (mainly men) in my pool guffawed at me picking Morocco to beat Spain. Who's having the last laugh now?! They really are a solid, well disciplined team. I wasn't brave enough to pick them over Portugal (boo, me - bravo, you). Two days without soccer seems interminable. I love Ronaldo (long time United fan here). I wish. I wish. Gawd, I really don't know what I wish.
Get some rest and thanks for keeping us informed. BTW Happy Birthday.

Grant, glad to hear you’re feeling better. Glad you’re having dinner with friends.
