Oh the EPL loves over paying for a retread.

I already knew he was in Arsenal. He really kind of shitted on English football compared to Italian teams in how the EPL, no one really works on watching film or training goal keepers.

Nothing was right today, poland x argentina was shit, they didnt even play, they bet on the results and didnt even try to do shit.

France was already in the next phase and they subbed in their better players and tried to do something. But poland couldnt even attempt anything, even our pundit was shocked innhow they were "playing", to the point they literally stopped narrating the arg x pol game to narrate mexico x arabia. This was easily the worst game of the world cup so far, absolutely disgraceful.

And argies will get a easier way with the australia, so not even argies vs frenchies to sooth my soul

Poland probably saw the 2006 game where Argentina nuked Serbia from orbit as part of their match preparation. As Argentina decided to tiki taka all over the place.

And decided to play the same way that many teams did against the Barcelona of the early 2010s lol.

Basically Mexico was a disappointment for just being a disappointment.

Poland decided to go full blown park the bus, relying on fucking FIFA Fair Play at one point to get through lol.

France were the biggest baddies for tonight, its the World Cup ffs, not some long drawn out season, people come to see the best players playing every game. As far as resting players go, I think that is a mixed bag as the number of times I have seen teams with well rested players get BTFO against some team that has been playing endlessly.

Mexico have no one to blame but themselves. Senegal got eliminated based on the fair play tie breaker at the last world cup to japan and after tying Poland, that could always have been a possibility. Had the yellow card difference been maybe 1 or tied going into the final match, they might not have been pushing for a final goal at the end and let themselves be wide open.


Anyways, Argentina should have a cake walk to the semi finals so can't wait to see how they blow it. France have to actually show up with some solid players to beat Poland in the round of 16 and Senegal in the quarters
 
Thanks to political bullshittery down here, Brazil is kinda-sorta divided about going for the sixth title.

On one hand, we want to be champions. On the other hand, most people now associate the yellow shirts and the national symbols with the Bolsonarista movement - some even celebrated when Neymar got a sprained ankle because of his support, and others are actually rooting for fucking Argentina, the same country that never does the same for us, and calls us monkeys to our face whenever they have a chance. It's quite stomach-twisting to hear our sport journos that once sucked Neymar off to the point of annoyance, now toss him under the bus and outright say "We can win it without him just fine".

This is by far the best chance we have to become champions, and this kind of shit will only hinder the sentiment. And considering the horrorshow that expects us from next year onwards, this may be the only source of long-term happiness we'll have for a long while. Kinda like Argentina, ironically.

Escape from Globohomo where Kurt Russell plays Neymar.
 
1. France is officially protesting the result of yesterday's game. Their argument: the goal got cancelled after the matched had ended.

Spoiler: Won't change anything, result will last.

2. lol at the VAR and ref for cancelling the Croatian penalty. Fucking retards.

It literally changes nothing. Dumb fight



Half way through the early games and we have Belgium about to go crashing out with the potential implosion coming. We also have Nayef Aguerd becoming joint top goal scorer for Canada at the World Cup
 
Assuming my worst feelings come true, we're going to have an elimination bracket of:

Morocco vs Costa Rica / Germany
Portugal vs Cameroon

I don’t count Morocco as an African team. They are more Arab.

They are still African though. They come through the African system and would consider themselves African.

But to answer my question, apparently its 1998 when Nigeria topped a group having Paraguay, Spain, and Bulgaria
 
After the Argentina match my house was literally being flooded and I fought against the water for 1 hour to diminish it. In the last 5 days it rained 400mm, 4x the normal ammount of a whole month.

Because of this, power went out today and I just got the final minutes of croatia vs belgium, jesus christ Lukaku had two clear chances and blew it up hard, what a shitter
