After 27 days of non-stop World Cup action, it’s time to take a break. There will be no games played today, with teams enjoying a little rest before the quarterfinals kick off from Thursday.

In truth, given what we saw yesterday, I think everyone could do with a little breather. Some of my CNN Sports colleagues were at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to watch Argentina pull off one of the most remarkable comebacks in soccer history and supervising editor Kyle Feldscher described it as some sort of divine intervention. It didn’t feel far off in sporting terms.

As France and Morocco meet in final Foxborough game, refereeing controversy is on everyone’s mind

FOXBOROUGH – Refereeing controversy has marked this World Cup since the opening game, when three red cards were issued in Mexico’s 2-0 win over South Africa.

The situation has intensified since. So, it wasn’t surprising France coach Didier Deschamps seemed to be sending an officiating-related message before Les Bleus meet Morocco in the quarterfinals Thursday. The question, though, is what Deschamps implied when referring to both the match’s designated referee, Facundo Tello, and French referee François Letexier, who worked Argentina’s 3-2 victory over Egypt in the Round of 16 Tuesday.

“You could ask questions, certainly,” Deschamps said of officiating Wednesday. “We just hope [Tello] and his crew will be as good as Letexier and his. Some refereeing decisions lead to discussions. But our opponent is Morocco, not the referee. We want the referee to apply fairly the laws of the game.”

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
