He should have been booked for simulation imo.
Can’t really be a dive when there’s such heavy contact

Agreed, he can't really be done for diving.
However he was cheating by trying to con the ref into thinking he was fouled, and it worked until var got involved.
When the ref changed his mind he should have booked him for trying to con him

Least shocking news ever

Plans for a 64-team men's World Cup are set to be assessed after the 2026 tournament, with Fifa boss Gianni Infantino saying the event needs to be "for the whole world"

The proposal for an expanded tournament was put forward last year, and Infantino says the success of the expanded 48-team tournament means Fifa should look at how a 64-team World Cup could work

They’re going to have two leagues of 32 and have it like the champions league.

Logistically I think it will be too much of a nightmare to have so many groups of four.

It’s why I’ve made such an effort to really enjoy this World Cup as I think it could be the last before that weird egghead completely ruins it for good.
