I Am John Oliver: simultaneously horrified at what Qatar and FIFA have done to put on this spectacle, and also absolutely not missing it.
As usual, the Last Week Tonight writers team does an excellent job of summing up how evil FIFA is in only 20 minutes.

Ok, let's talk #Pulisic. I remember for a brief period under Lampard at #ChelseaFC, he was exhilarating. Then more injuries, more managers, and irrelevance. Does he need a change in clubs or even a change in leagues? He gives his all for #USMT.
Well, it was the best of times (early great shot by Pulisic) and the worst of times (2 quick goals for Orange, including one in the 1 minute of extra time) for the #USMT . Sigh. Not sure this is a hole we can get out of. They need to either shoot more or cross more. #worldcup
Morning Mastodonians!
Getting ready for the big #USMT game against Netherlands in the #WorldCup. Not really expecting much, although how can you bet against the only team that didn't let up a single goal in the qualifying round? Matt Turner, the goalie, has become quite the darling in this 2 daughter household. My guess it goes to penalty kicks and the US advances on his heroics.
“Or the wealth, educational and health care disparities between white people and people of color in the U.S. There is a gaping chasm between ‘the country as it is’ and ‘the country as it should be.’”

I have mixed feelings about Mex/Pol. I root for Barça so I’m delighted for Lewandowski. I root for the #USMT so I have some feelings about Mexico as a rival. But I have such warm affection for the country (people, culture, food, music, etc.) want our confederation to do well, and I (this is stupid but it’s true) adore their kit and hate that it won’t be present in the cup any longer.
This is one weird case where I’m a neutral I guess, but none of the results were great.
After watching the thrilling #USMT win at the #WorldCup, I played some more D:OS2 with C. We stumbled into a pretty big battle and it took a good hour or more to finish it off but we did it without a restart. Still lots of public servers running for this game. Of course, we've been playing nearly 200 hours, so I can see why. I imagine we have at least another 30 hours to go. #computergaming #crpg

Well, that game was worth hiding out for! #USMT scored late in the first and held on for the win against Iran in the #WorldCup, 1-0. Unfortunately, my recording ended with about 1 minute left in extra time, but at least we didn't miss anything. You'd think an extra 30 minutes would be enough, but nooo!
@jhonygutierrez Why did #USMT leave Pepi at home? Still not understanding that decision given the way he's been lighting it up at the club level.
Really good first half! #USMT survived early onslaught from #England and then played really well. Happy to see the #Arsenal guys play well (Saka! Turner!) #FIFAWorldCup

#USMT survived 90+10 minutes vs #Wales today, & they face the juggernaut of #England on Black Friday in their 2nd #WorldCup match. But aye, the battle that will be on 29 Nov of #ENGvWAL will be one for the ages if you believe #michaelsheen!
