    I know enough about soccer to understand that something is terribly wrong with the sport if a team as dominate as Spain was able to win by just a single point, which indeed was the only point scored in the entire game. Until or unless something is done to facilitate MORE SCORING in this sport, count me out of its fanbase.

    Even as a complete novice at all things soccer, I could see the total domination of Spain over Argentina.
    Spain’s defence was terrific . Spain controlled the ball 80% of the time. Did Messi even play
    All things considered , My player of the game was the Arginteen goalie.
    But I know nothing about soccer

    I don’t care if LeBron waits until after the all star break to make his decision. I actually would rejoice if he quits altogether, so we might have the pleasure of watching Bronny get waived. I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with this James thing, so Adam Silver should just make the schedule based on the teams’ current rosters and concentrate on hanging Steve Balmer.
