    Yes. All these polymarket and kalshi gambling advertisements during the game are out of control.

      I can only watch it on Telemundo and they don’t show commercials besides during halftime as far as I’ve noticed.

        Oh good idea. I should watch there and turn the volume down

        Thanks for the pro tip.

    Tennis and rugby had video refs about twenty years before soccer did. Rugby is a much more complex game than soccer, so the implication must be something in referee culture. Football fans act as if this is something new and complicated.

    I second the comment about all the advertising. It's hideous.
