He covered his mouth while confronting someone from Turkey. It's considered a foul because it became an issue where people claimed to be saying bad things and covering their mouths IRRC. It's a new rule for this world cup.

That's what I thought they were saying, but I couldn't be sure. I guess I'm not used to that. We don't cover our mouths in the US. I guess no trash talking allowed in soccer.

Not quite. They can still advance with 4 points. There are 8 3rd place teams that advance. Most will probably have 4 points.

TCS stands for Team Conduct Score.

It measures the amount of cards a team has received in the tournament (points are deducted for yellow and red cards) and is used as a potential tie breaker for playoff seeding or advancement.

Dallas seems to be a great World Cup Host. Stadium is packed , roof is closed, temps are nice. Looking forward to the game now.
