When last we left the World Cup in Qatar, the host country was going back on its word by banning beer sales outside the stadium, the head of FIFA was engaging in epic whataboutism to defend Qatar's hideous human rights record, and journalists were already being hassled for doing their jobs.
But, hey, we got futbol!
And so on to England 6, Iran 2, which was about what everyone expected. And then the U.S. men's team doing what it does, which is blow a dominant performance by fouling Gareth Bale in the penalty area and giving up the free-kick goal for a 1-1 draw with Wales.
Later, Saudi Arabia shocked Lionel Messi and Argentina 2-1. Grief-stricken Argentines called in sick to work so they could overturn cars and set them on fire.
OK. So that didn't happen.
As far as I know.
