England destroys Senegal:

I stopped watching the England-Senegal game when it got to 3-0.  The game is over, regardless of how the score ultimately ends up.  No one comes back from three down.  That was the last black African team in the World Cup, and it was blown out of the water by a middling white team.  The USA tied England a few days ago, and we got pummeled 3-1 by the Netherlands.  So I can repeat again this time with absolute confidence -- blacks can't keep up with whites, we are superior.  The World Cup can't lie, the results speak for themselves.

The college football playoff ended up being what it had to be -- the only 4 teams in the country with either 0 or 1 loss got in, and all the other teams with 2 losses or more stayed out.  There isn't any controversy in these selections, they proffered themselves up.  From what I've seen Georgia is so much better than the rest of the field that not even Michigan, also undefeated, stands any chance against them.  But who knows, the world is fun because there are always new surprises and upsets.  Due to Georgia's strength I'd still say the SEC is the premier league in college football, despite two Big 10 teams, Michigan and Ohio State, making the playoff.  Of course I'll be cheering for TCU, a Texas representative, but realistically they don't stand a chance.  They couldn't even beat Kansas State. . .

So far only big names in soccer have reached the quarterfinals --  England, France, Argentina and the Netherlands.  All famous for their soccer traditions.  I expect the next four winners will be the same -- Brazil, Croatia, Portugal and Spain, but I'll be fruitlessly cheering for Japan, much like TCU.

Between the World Cup and bowl season, December is jam packed with fun.  It's kind of absurd how months can go by with nothing happening and then all this stuff comes out at once.  But 2022 has been one of those years, featuring the Olympics, the World Cup, a new land war in Europe, and a midterm election which Republicans actually won for once.  (Trump's promise that we'd be tired of winning didn't play out.)  There are months where nothing happens, and months where everything happens, there are years where nothing happens, and years where everything happens.  And with all these exciting events still ongoing, 2022 isn't even close to finished.
