Look at where the US intervened.. most had been colonies of European powers.

Having now seen several instances of the FIFA ' Video Assistant Referees ' ignoring blatant rules infringements I conclude that FIFA is an acronym for ' Fix it for anybody '

wow... Germany vs. Sweden. Incredible plays and upfront ball movement since Germany tied 1-1 tie in the 1st half

Fuck Kroos.

**anatta** · 06-24-2018, 12:04 AM

did you SEE THAT?

Sweden had like the entire team lined up in front of the goal to defend a Germany free kick.
The German player bends the ball like 30 degrees and put it in the far corner! wow. Germany is back

Why don't you stop being so partisan and blinkered?

Israel. Saudi Arabia, UK for a start.

best game I ever saw,somehow Sweden took the pressure as the ball was all around the goal all 2nd half
Germany had so many opportunities that just would not go in - until it did

I just watched a mediocre team score six points against a rabble. The rabble even scored one back.

'Israel' got stuffed- so it's fascist-free on this occasion.

If one is into pussy games....go for it. Really a penalty for touching something with your hands. Why not just play "flag football" for infants? Golf is more of a contact sport than foosball. I find the table game more interesting.....its kind'a oxymoronic......you must USE YOUR HANDS. Soccer is the only sport on earth where a paraplegic (no arms) could become a star. Just jerking on your chain

There must be something there as its the national past time for 2/3s of the world.

A martial artist might say similar of boxing.

FIFA rejects UK tabloid claims it covered up doping by Russian footballers

FIFA has rejected claims by UK tabloid the Mail on Sunday that it covered up cases of doping by Russian footballers.

In typically sensationalist yet logic-light piece, Mail on Sunday journalist Nick Harris claimed that “FIFA had documentary proof of institutional cover-ups in Russian football 18 months ago — but have apparently done nothing to hold Russia’s FA or Sports Ministry to account.”
