Letting Brazil have two clear offside goals is clearly the superior solution. They never get the breaks!

The technically correct call doesn’t always lead to a just result, as VAR has proven over and over again.

without Kaapo the Combine’s gonna feel a little

I don’t know that guy can always claim he's real into the New York Knicks forming their own Jewish homeland.

And yet, they got to visit the White House. 

Yeah, this is a glaring inconsistency in the article. But there is certainly a huge gap between the have and have nots — as there is in every top tier soccer league in the world.
