World Cup 2026

Like really, do any of these two teams want to win the World Cup? They seem happy to have made it to this stage, for the occasion and all that. Looking for excuses for free kicks etc instead of upping their performance and try to win it.
I mean look at Belgium throughout the tournament up until yesterday, it took a controversy for them to perform the way they should have from the start. It maddens me :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:
I am not and never have been a football player but I am well connected with people who are at a high competitive/professional level in an other sport and really I don’t get this lethargy. It’s the World Cup for god sake!
Rant over.

I’m fascinated how this ball has come to be deemed okay. It’s very clear that if you side foot the ball it goes upwards regardless of what you were attempting to do. Put your foot through it and it stays in a horizontal trajectory but not consistently so. Side foots are awful though. A number of otherwise straightforward dribbles down the wing have also been impacted. Push the ball forward and it comes upwards by up to 6 inches or so. Extraordinary.

No matter who win this shoot out I doubt Argentina will be quaking in their boots

Irrelevant who wins this rubbish, neither will go any further.

Argentina showed cool performance when down, which will no doubt make them even stronger next time.

Well, at least I turned it mute while listening to some music. :smiley:

Neither side deserved to win that but the Swiss, and the TV audience will thank cheeses that’s over.
