Morocco absolutely destroyed Egypt 6-0. Yikes.

In all I thought Morocco played the best games on average. That's to say, as a team I really thought they were the best. 

The best doesn't always win a tournament though because you have to best on "that" day vs "that" team and they weren't.

i have this game on in the other room while i am trying to get shit done as i am oft to do and will usually go off of the sound of the commentators to determine if i should get up and go see what is happening.

this methodology is failing me today. i would have thought the score of this game was 19-16 based on the pbp's random explosions of screaming. i keep walking in there to see replays of france heading balls 20 feet over the goal.

This method works like a charm with Spanish broadcasts.

My flatmate and I would leave the TV on soccer on Saturdays & Sundays in Buenos Aires, but at a low volume, then go about our days: Time spent on the computer, doing laundry, making shit in the kitchen.

Then you hear a constant note 🎵 lasting for 10+ seconds.

Like a horn in the Alps.

This is a call to the TV to watch 8 different replays of the goal that was just scored, before leaving the room to pick up where you left off

Agreed. Very strong side. Impressed with their play throughout the tournament.

So, I am watching but find it very difficult.  Spain flopped three times in the first 1:15 of the game.  I have started to call stoppage time at the end of halves “flopping time.”  In this game it’s +7.  It’s so frustrating to watch.

I started watching at the end of the 1st half and it was already 3-1 Spain, but France has been controlling shit since I've been watching. That spanish keeper is having a game.

I do NOT want France to win simply because I do not want US Soccer to use coaching France to a gold medal as an excuse to hire Thierry Henry. 

Do not want him as the permanent USMNT manager.

Dont worry. It will probably be Berhalter's wife.
