    New Zealand's national soccer team is called the All Whites because black jerseys were reserved for referees so they wore white instead.

    Sports! 2022 Qatar World Cup

    New Zealand's national rugby team is called the All Blacks because that was the colour of their uniform over a century ago and has absolutely nothing to with skin colour, race, or ethnicity.

    Argentia is ~85% white hispanic. Complaining about any Argentine national team being almost - if not entirely - white hispanic is sorta like complaining that an American elementary school basketball team from the 'hood doesn't have a "rural cracker" on their roster.

    I just looked up all the previous World Cup results. Yes, this is the first time an African team reached the semifinals.

    It's soccer. Two teams can kick the ball around for over two hours without scoring anything and the talking heads in the peanut gallery might laud that as an excellent performance which ended in a draw. Compare that to basketball were you keep playing overtimes until it isn't tied when the...

    I'm pretty sure we're not going to see a 50-7 or 59-12 curbstomp. Those scores were American women playing gridiron football against Canadian and Japanese women respectively.

    Don't forget about '02 ... France and Argentina were eliminated in the group stage. Turkey and South Korea played for third. The US, Japan. and Senegal also made it to the knockout stage that year.
