What they have moved on to is the "Round of 16". They will move to the quarter finals if they beat the Netherlands.

This is not "SO CLEAR" if one looks at the web sites for world cup.
My term quarter finals was their quote.
Their websites, ESPN, especially, is chaos (junk).
1+1 is finals
2+2 is semi finals
4+4 is quarter finals

Men's soccer - AKA football.
World cup men's soccer - AKA Mondial.

Of all the teams for Iran to lose to, the US is definitely not one of them. Go US (Mens) Soccer.

And then they can fly home. They've scored what, 2 goals total?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The only one they allowed was a penalty shot by Wales. That is impressive.

Okay.
I still think the offsides rule is stupid as all get out and the clock management of the game is as well.
But then I'm American.

For the next round they need to do some substitutions in the team. Preferably with the Buffalo Bills.

Almost any NFL team, except maybe the Texans, or the Falcons.
I am a Falcons fan but our defense couldn't stop ice from melting by putting it in the freezer.

About what you would expect from a modern Icelandic composer
From site above:
"METACOSMOS (2017) for orchestra - a live recording with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra
conducted by Daniel Bjarnason. The ISO’s recording of METACOSMOS, conducted by Daníel Bjarnason, was among the NY Times’s “25 Best Classical Music Tracks of 2019” - the album, Concurrence, received a 2021 GRAMMY nomination."

Didn't tickle me.
I enjoy classic, especially when making dinner. I talk to myself then in a Julia Childs voice while cutting unions.
It was nice, like Elvis is, but it didn't tickle like "Enter Sandman - METALLICA Cover - The Warning - YouTube[^]^]

If this is a reference to what I think it is ... Dalton Trumbo: Johnny Got His Gun ... I suspect that a lot of people don't get it, the real seriousness of it. I rarely find people who has read the book, or even seen the movie. (It really is impossible to make a movie out of that novel, but they did the best out of it: Johnny Got His Gun 1971 - YouTube[^])
Giving the novel my strong recommendations, I must do so with some equally strong warnings: Don't read it if you are even slightly down. It takes a lot of mental strength to handle this story. It is black.
And relating Elon to Johnny is really ... I don't know what to say. Cruel. Brutal. Black.
(For those who do not know the novel: Johnny is a WW1 soldier, waking up after an attack, discovering that he has no hearing, no eyesight, no limbs, no nothing ... He is completely isolated under all his bandages. Slowly, one of the nurses who happens to know morse, manages to establish contact with Johnny's consciousness, tapping morse code on his skin, with him replying by contractions of the few muscles that he still can control. But the doctors think the nurse is crazy, believing that she can communicate with a vegetable such as Johnny. So she is moved to a different post. ... Not quite a happy ending.)

It is. I watched the movie mostly thanks to Metallica's video of "One".

It is.
I don't particularly care about being brutal or cruel when talking about some id-10t with too much money about to embark in a war against the world and end up dismantled (and I still hope he does it so that we can finally lose Tesla, Twitter and Apple in one fell swoop).

Ah! I've heard of that story but not the title. I went thinking of: Annie Get Your Gun

Hmmm... I read the book 40+ years ago and saw the movie 30+ years ago but I seem to recall the ending a bit differently.
Joe (not Johnny) was using morse code (banging his head on the pillow) but none of the doctors or nurses understood. After months of this he gives up. Later a new nurse writes "Merry Christmas" on his chest using normal letters. Joe understands and starts with the head banging again - soon she realizes what he's doing and gets a doctor. Again writing on his chest they ask him - "What do you want?" After a couple minutes he realizes that being blind, deaf, mute and quadriplegic limits his choices and decides he doesn't really want anything at all so he goes still and never communicates again.

And here I was thinking about Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun.
