Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted December 5, 2022 Never seen this before today. Pretty cool. Also, is that the missing trophy? EDIT: No it isn't. The Jules Rimet Cup seems to be a lot smaller. Wonder what became of it? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted December 6, 2022 Wonder if this will be one of these improving but then is dead 48 hours later 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimreaper 697 Posted December 6, 2022 Remember when they prematurely announced Jerry Lee Lewis' death. His family came out and made it look sound like his health was fine. Next day he was dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted December 9, 2022 At least Neymar only equalized his goal scoring record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LWCZ 188 Posted December 9, 2022 Well, both Brazil and Croatia had last-gasp goals in 105th and 117th minute. I wouldn't be surprised if Pelé scored one last-gasp as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
