Once it came to Netflix I almost stopped watching 3-4 times, but just as I was about done, something happened that sucked me back in.

Then the reveal. So lame.

The Bob Newhart "it was all a dream" type ending is so lazy.

I know they say it's officially in the title, but I hope they work it in to the script somewhere as well.

First two seasons were pretty good,but with all shows like this,they tend to fall off when there's some big mystery of what's actually going on,and they don't explain it quick enough.


Third season was alright,but they kinda need to start answering a lot of questions in Season 4.

It's been long enough ago that I finished it (like 11+ years) I don't remember a lot of specifics about it. I just remember the final episode being like "Really? What a rip off."

Strange that no one is watching World Cup 2026 Fantasy football managers know that a sudden injury can ruin an entire tournament strategy in a single afternoon. When a key playmaker limps off the pitch it alters the offensive output of the whole nation. The comprehensive injury table at https://totalover.com/ tracks sidelined players across global divisions to show exactly who can play. It reports confirmed return dates so you can manage your squad rotation effectively. This specialized data tracks defensive form and calculates clean sheet probabilities for upcoming fixtures. Making decisions based on these metrics increases your chances of winning your local mini-league.

Oh lots of us are watching it. We are just not talking about it on this forum.
Overall there have been some fantastic matches, many great moments/goals and some very bad/missed calls. I think some teams have benefited from other’s misfortunes. So all in all it is like most World Cups of the past.
I won’t get into the giant orange baby or the US taking over the show and disrespecting time honoured rules.

Definitely been watching the games but having so many of the games this close to me (I'm a 30-minute commute from Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta) I've learned way too much about FIFA and have become completely disillusioned with the business side of it.

What I really wanted (and this was always a massive long shot) was for USMNT and England to end up in the finals. Something poetic about the World Cup battle in the US between those teams in July of the 250th US anniversary.

Well that's a wrap on the World Cup. The final was not nearly as entertaining as the consolidation round between England and France in my opinion (well the second half of ENG/FRA).

The only thing that kept the final from being a blowout was Martino (Argentina's goalkeeper) who was on fire today. 11 saves (and most of them of the heroic type) with a broken right thumb to boot. Argentina didn't have a shot on goal at all during regular time, and was deep into overtime (I think it was like 125 minutes).

Out of curiosity, which rules are you referring to? I know FIFA made some changes this year that weren't overly popular like hydration breaks and the half-time entertainment in the Final.

I'm not sure which rules the US disrespected unless you are referring to Balogun's red card suspension. Whether Trump's call instigated the review or not (FIFA says no, but politics is politics and FIFA is politics/money first, football second) it's pretty widely agreed it was a bad call on the field. The thing is a FIFA committee review is never announced in advance, and they only mention it if the call is reversed. So ultimately there's no real way to know.

By the way, Trump is the first US President to make this call (right or wrong, I personally agree it was wrong he intervened but agree with the committee's call) but it's not the first time it's been done. The one I recall was in 1962 when both the Presidents of Chile and Brazil stepped in on the review of a red card for Garrincha who kicked an opposing player immediately after Garrincha being hit in the head by a fan from the stands. There could have been others, but I don't know. I just remember that one because I saw an item on that particular game a few weeks ago.
