Egypt fans being pulled aside, patted down, and double-checked before the Argentina vs. Egypt match, while Argentina supporters were allowed to walk through security without the same level of screening. And this is exactly why people keep accusing FIFA of double standards.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Belgium beats, then trolls, U.S. team on Monday night
Even though it was tied, 1-1, after Malik Tillman scored another goal on a free kick just outside the penalty area, it never felt close.

The lesson from the Belgium-USA match and from the Hungarian election is that you need to defeat populists by such a convincing margin that claiming the contest was rigged becomes implausible.
