I'm curious to see how the Spain-Costa Rica game goes. Spain often struggles to put the ball in the net and Costa Rica has its Wild Bunch team of grizzled, old guys that know every trick in the book. The Ticos are in this World Cup for one last heist. There's a version of this game where Spain cracks them open and blows them out. There's also a version where Costa Rica gets a smash-and-grab win.

When Spain is on it is how I imagine watching Mozart play the piano was like
The skill level is just absurdly high. Its an 11 out of 10.

Mozart never played a piano. When he was alive, there was the harpsichord and the pianoforte, which is the forerunner to the modern piano but not the same instrument. The action and hammers of a pianoforte are much lighter, so the sound is noticeably softer with little sustain. You cannot get the percussive effect of a modern grand piano.
Even Schubert and Beethoven played fortepianos. I think it was sometime in the 1800s that “modern” pianos replaced pianofortes, so maybe older older Beethoven played a modern piano. It all depended on what manufacturer you liked, as the production and evolution of pianos was fluid as technology improved. We can say for sure that Liszt played a grand piano in the 1830s or 1840s.
If you want to name a modern piano virtuoso, Rachmaninoff is generally considered to be the greatest of all time.

Didn’t agree with that Portugal penalty. Ghanaian player Salisu got a touch with his foot on the ball whilst pushing at the same time. Ronaldo is absolutely clinical in taking penalties. He takes his time, gets calm and concentrated, then does that stutter step and a slow walk up to get the goalie to commit early.
But Ghana equalized soon after. Good for them. Now I’m rooting for them to win.
But then Portugal inserted Leao into the game and two goals happen. That’s what I hope will happen with Reyna - if Berghalter thinks he’s healthy enough or good enough or whatever he thinks are criteria for putting one of your most talented players on the field.
