If we should trust the statistics, Tuchel is already a failure
As far as I know and they said also on Norwegian TV that there has never been a team winning the world championship with a foreign coach. So will England ever win football world championship with a German coach?

I think he proved through the championship to be "in disarray" with the English players, creating havoc of conflict with Jude Bellingham

I did not have so much faith in the Bronze final but wow was I wrong.... 10 goals and possibly the crasiest world championship mach I ever seen

But my French friend does not share my enthusiasm

IMHO, Argentina is a digrace to football, the first time Argentina won the world championship in 1978 there was a major corruption scandal with "game fixing" and Argentina continued, the game fixing was proven as far as I know, but no-one bothered.

I think Argentina does not deserve the final spot, they did not beat Egypt. The referee and VAR gave the victory to Argentina by cancelling what I think was a clear 2 -0 goal to Egypt. Before the final Argentina goal, Egypt should have had a penalty, and VAR and referee silently ignored it, creating what I think is a scandal and there was obvious incredible havoc in the match after that.

My thought is.... is there money going to FIFA from Argentina here?

How can we now trust an organization that gives the peace price to Donald Trump. There is possibly a good reason why Swiss captain Granit Xhahka calls the world cup games "scripted" where he claims that referees and VAR directly influence outcomes of the games..... I watch the final with bad taste in the mouth!

The removed goal might be questionable, but the late penalty Egypt were calling for was not a penalty. They showed it from multiple angles and it was not a foul.

The England - France game was amazing. Only got to watch highlights because I was running our local dog show all day, but WOW.

While I agree, it should be said that almost all African nations had questionable calls against them. To be fair, there was favoritism to more than just Argentina.

A massive wildfire swept through the residential area of Krokstadelva near Drammen, Norway, after spreading rapidly due to strong winds and extremely dry conditions. More than 100 homes were destroyed, over 400 people were evacuated, but remarkably no lives were lost. Firefighters are still dealing with hotspots days later, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

This is a complete disaster, and we are hearing people say that the only place they've seen scenes like this before is in a war zone.

How Norway celebrate their players

How Argentina celebrate their players, riot in Buenos Aires

Surgery consult this morning.

Surgeon is sending me for a ct scan so she can see the hernia(s). If confirmed, she is recommending laparoscopic repair. Might even be my first time with a robot!

More importantly, she cleared me for exercise.

Could be a month or two for scheduling.

My 2yo cat is in the emergency. They still don't know what is wrong with him. He became very lethargic, which is highly unusual for him at his age. We scheduled an appointment with his vet, on Fri, but he continued to be unchanged so I took him to emergency yesterday morning and he is still there and still sick. They found something on his bladder and he is not urinating, so they are focusing on that right now. He was perfectly normal in the morning, by the afternoon he was hiding and sleeping all day, which is out of character because he is super social. So when he was still like that yesterday, I took him in.

I hope for a good outcome. I know how hard it is when our furry friends are unwell.
