Girls und Panzer if it was made by Cartoon Network: Girls und Panzer: Go! (After running out of fart jokes and gross out humor, they gotta explain to kids what the Katyn Forest Massacre was)

Okay, I said that I got a Dark Souls vibe, but I don't think it's enough to actually warrant being tagged as such, unless there's something I'm missing.
Director Shingo Fujii confirmed on X that the characters are drawn by the character designer (Mayu Fujii). The background is clearly by someone from the anime's background team, so I am adding the artist_request tag for it.
Belgium/France and Croatia/England confirmed for Final Four matches.
Speaking of USA and football/soccer, it was chosen (together with Mexico and Canada) to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup for a variety of reasons. At the time the "United 2026" bid was chosen, its only competition was Morocco, which is comparatively a riskier option in terms of spending, profitability and the fact that several of its proposed stadiums have yet to be built. By comparison, USA, Mexico and Canada have the money and resources, not to mention existing stadiums, all with only a small risk of becoming white elephants in the near future. Besides, it seems FIFA still has fond memories of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the last time it went to the USA, which continues to hold world records for highest attendances, both on average per game (almost 70,000) and overall (6.3 million). One may cynically say it has something to do with the USA's abundance of gigantic stadiums made with American football in mind (e.g., the 100,000-seater AT&T Stadium in Dallas), and that America's (and Canada's) top-flight league, the Major League Soccer (MLS), is increasingly becoming the favored place for European stars to spend their last few years on the field (e.g., David Beckham at Los Angeles Galaxy), but the point stands that the USA, with its increasingly diverse population, is a giant football/soccer market waiting to be explored.

Well, France is good (though I'm a bit ashame for Mbappe's action at the end just to stall some time, that was low). We only need England to do their part.
