FIFA is as crooked as a three dollar bill. But the rest are good entertainment. I don't like the VAR and think it should go away. Let the referees do their job. Mistakes happen but we wouldn't have had the Argentina victory in the Mexico World Cup in 1986. People still talk about that.This is the first time I've paid any attention to World Cup. I'm already suspicious it is rigged about as bad as ice skating.

Remember Italia vs South Korea in 2002? I remember that game very clearly, and for all the wrong reasons.
Em bop aye scores
Dembe'le'!
2-0 TV off
Morocco just couldn't match France. Spain and Belgium are suddenly feeling a little nauseous
England v Norway, heat delay? Who would've guessed it's hot and humid in Miami in mid July 
iGo Norway

So I was busy, came back to find it was 1-1 between Norway-England and saw some complaint that the ball might have contacted the suspended camera rigging before England scored. Kind of reminds me of punters in the NFL who deliberately aimed for a hanging scoreboard/display.
Same difference?

Nope, one would've been champion, the other - vice champion.
Now, one of them has to drop.
At the same time, Argentina not to name them, that didn't deserve to win against Cabo Verde, much less against Egypt, is getting a quasi free pass with an easy team.
The Argentina Switzerland match just started.

Beautiful goal from the Swiss. They don't give up. I don't think they'll win but do hope they do.
As for the referee - what a %$#% # clown.
No, Argentina is not getting special treatment
Disgusting. What an absolute disgrace.
Now let's see by how much the Swiss will lose playing with 10 people.

Glad he got tossed for it though, it ruins an otherwise entertaining sport.
