The three shots in the first half at this World Cup final are the lowest in a single World Cup final half on record (since 1966)

This isn't even hard, it's a simple google. Here he is in 1991 with his then wife Marla Marples. I have plenty more, but I think you get the point.

This is how close China's win was in extra ends over Italy. JUST enough.

Chaos happening while the referee was reviewing the VAR screen (screen capture taken after he was done). It's all gone horribly wrong for Senegal. #AFCON

Senegal players in green arguing and shoving Morocco players in white while they remonstrate with the referee in black. The referee is walking back onto the pitch after viewing the VAR stand. The score displays Senegal 0 Morocco 0 in the 98th minute of 8 minutes of stoppage time.
