Congrats Dennis! Enjoy your new watch!
Finally we get to see which North American team is best. GG Canada!
Oh well, at least Germany vs Serbia is going to be fun. And the Battle for North America (Bronze medal game)
Disappointing seeing Luka ejected with 6 minutes left. However, I think Canada was going to win anyways.

But the Romanian foreign ministry rejects Kyiv's version of events, saying it didn't happen.
Ukraine / russian partisans should conduct a test of the flammability of those tires
Good hustle by Canada in the last few minutes!
At least USA will still be in the QF .. this is hopefully a reality check for them

Russia has moved missiles off isles disputed with Japan: expert
Multiple air defense missile systems deployed by Russia on two disputed islands off northern Japan in 2020 have been moved off the isles, an analysis of satellite images shows, raising the possibility that Moscow is repurposing weapons from its Far East for use in the war against Ukraine.
I can’t wait to see who they face of in the QF. I’m hoping its the DR with KAT. OFC they have to beat Montenegro and Lithuania first!
Supposedly some Il-76 transport planes were damaged
Cool, I was wondering what the Ukrainian missile engineers have been working on for the past year. Also from the article:
As a result, even with the currently limited inventory, Moscow will be targeted using the modified Neptune in the not-too-distant future, the official told us. That will add to the discomfort felt in the Russian capital, which has been repeatedly hit by Ukrainian drones.
To reach that roughly 290-mile distance from the Ukrainian border (and perhaps longer from a launch site), the payload will be reduced and the volume of fuel will be boosted. This is a common modification for cruise missile variants.
I’ll believe it when I see it
That’s a lot of ammo!
France came to the World Cup planning to win gold. It won't even make the second round, a stunning development for the reigning Olympic silver medalists.

In the aftermath of the plane crash that reportedly killed Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, convoys of Wagner fighters are departing Belarus and heading to Russia, the National Resistance Center reported on Aug. 23.
Sources in Belarus said that some Wagner base camps were being dismantled the evening of Aug. 23, and that members of the private military group were forming convoys to leave the country.
"The convoys are likely heading towards the border with Russia," the Center said.
According to the Center's sources in Belarus, the Belarusian government did not authorize the mercenary group's withdrawal. Belarusian special services are reportedly trying to intercept the convoys at the border.

A good overview of the Teams / Players in each Group, with some predictions. Personally I think the Canada vs France matchup in Group H is most interesting.
