yes, the grammar is hideous. but, then, american broadcasters say really stupid things like, "that was a miscommunication between he and his receiver". grammar is not a u.s. strong point.
i personally think the tournament is rigged to have a france - argentina final (messi vs. mbappe). there have been some very sketchy fouls called to make sure both of those teams get an advantage they wouldn't otherwise have. imho.
you're right, rooney - going to a larger tournament field would make the tournament more than twice as boring as it already is.
