It’s a shame seeing Messi at this level. Same with Ronaldo.

Should we talk about the 13 million the men team just made but now has to be split with the women team?

This is not really equal pay for two reason. One the players only get a portion of the money. Two the women still get less money for their.

Pay out for the World Cup
Group stage. $9 million per team
Round of 16. $13 million per team
Quarterfinals. $17 million per team
Fourth place. $25 million
Third place. $27 million
Runners-up $32 million
Champions $45 million

The 23 members of the U.S. men’s national team will receive a $10,000 stipend for every game in Qatar, while 90% of whatever FIFA bonus they earn will be distributed equally among the 46 members of the men’s and women’s teams.
After advancing, the American men already blew past their $206,000 minimum payday, and each player will take home $294,000 should the team bow out after Saturday’s match against the Netherlands (the U.S. women would get $254,000, the difference being the amount paid per game).
And it only gets more lucrative from there: Should the U.S. prevail over the Dutch and lose in the quarterfinals, each American men’s player would make $383,000, while they would receive $559,000 for a fourth-place finish, $696,000 for third, $794,000 for second and $892,000 for winning the championship.
The women’s side will get comparably fat checks, getting $822,000 if their men’s team wins their first-ever World Cup (which oddsmakers give a 1% chance of happening, the 12th-best odds of competing countries).

Since Germany won they tie Spain on points but lose on GD.

For a little while there it looked like both Spain and Germany would go home

I think they underestimated their soccer opponents.

Who thinks the ball was out? Initially I thought it was out, then after watching a few times, I think it was in. They made the right call.
