A World Cup final that ran a hundred and fifteen minutes before either team scored, and one side never managed a single shot on net the entire match. Spain's overtime winner caps off a game that looked nothing like the sport is supposed to.
Watching it unfold with a lifelong fan means getting every offside call and foul explained on the spot, turning the broadcast into a crash course. TSN's coverage gets held up against the Fox feed, one delivering the match straight, the other leaning on a commentator mansplaining football to two actual footballers.
Refereeing inconsistency gets called out directly, right down to a joke about starting a fundraiser for the officials. It is chaotic, occasionally baffling, and impossible to look away from.
