My @SportingTrib column from the World Cup that saw Qatar score late to earn a draw with Switzerland and earn its first-ever World Cup point.

It's gone full time. Qatar 1, Switzerland 1.
That's the World Cup for you. Crazy stuff happens all the time.

Qatar just tied it 1-1 n the 95th minute on a header by Boualem Khoukhi. A beautiful cross from the left side by Homam Ahmed led to the tying goal. Some high drama at Levi's.
The Swiss must be devastated. They had this one locked up right upon until the last minute, literally.

6 minutes of stoppage time. Qatar still trying to equalize but it's getting late. Real late for them.

We're 80 minutes in and Switzerland remains in front, 1-0. #WorldCup

Qatar continues to play most of this match in its defensive half of the field. Gonna be tough to get an equalizer that way as we're 57 minutes in and Swiss still up 1-0.

Second half underway at Santa Clara. It's pretty warm on the pitch, probably over 90 degrees.

Halftime in Santa Clara with Switzerland leading Qatar 1-0. #WorldCup

Qatar's best chance comes in the 43rd minute as Junior is alone in the box but Kobel makes a kick save (and a beauty!) with his left leg to keep it 1-0.

We're at the hydration break with Switzerland leading 1-0 and holding a decisive territorial advantage over Qatar.

If I'm Qatar, I'm not playing it safe. I'm looking to attack, even more so down a goal.

Switzerland takes a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute after being awarded a penalty kick. Emboli with the easy conversion after Qatar's GK collided with Freuler in the box.

The Swiss are getting some really good looks the first 12 minutes including a setup in the box to Ndoye who airmailed it over the bar in the 10th minute. #WorldCup

Switzerland and Qatar are underway. I think my niece is still trying to get into the stadium.

Few expected such a dominant performance by the USMNT in their World Cup opener. My @SportingTrib column from Friday's impressive 4-1 win over Paraguay.

When asked if the first half was the best ever by the USA in the World Cup, Pulisic said he didn't know but he thought it was a great team effort from back to front.

Pulisic said in the mixed zone he got kicked in the back of the left leg in the first half and was held out in the second half as a precaution. Says he'll be fine and ready for Aussies on the 19th.
