2026 WC USA (et al): Worldwide Opponents Watch [all R's]

Cruyffian principles winning is always good for the game. Everyone will have to raise their game, can’t just do lazy defend and counter Tuchel/Deschampes ball.

There is a right way to play the game with a proof of concept, curriculum and development system that already exists. Let’s keep on reinventing a shitty wheel, yay!

 

Visual dissent is .... questionable but we can allow. The second yellow was two players running fast for a 50/50 and the one with the extended leg was not Enzo. There is no extended leg or violent movement by Enzo. Stinks of prejudice.

 

Football genius confirmed.

 

Welllllll............Im still hoping Messi hangs around for one more Copa NGL. Hes got that in him.

 

Really glad one of Spain’s three goals was allowed to count. Penalties would have been awful.

 

When I first started becoming a fan in the late 80s/early 90s...................Spain hadn't won anything in a while. One Euros in the 60s. They were known as underachievers.

Since 2008 they've won two World Cups, three Euros, and a Nations League.

Its a miracle of unbelievable proportions that we beat them at the 2009 Confederations Cup.
The lineup Spain used that day was scary.

 

Argentina played on the edge of dirty, but mostly fair, but that’s a dangerous game, and they paid the price. The first yellow was the really damaging and unneccessary one

 

Nah it was a valid second yellow. He had no chance of getting that ball and ran him.

 

MLS, Gold Cup, Copa America, WC qualifiers and WC again....lol...Cycle of life

 

Big shots on the pitch...

 

We see the path forward for Spain.............

...............but this feels like the real door slamming shut on an era of Argentina.

Where from here????????????

The Nico Paz show?

 

First yellow was shocking but paredes couldve had multiple yellows and they reaped what they sowed. No prejudice.

 

Needs to be the Nico Paz show. It can be, its basically their best path forward

 

Cubarsi...best young player of the tournament? You don't have to be big to be a solid backline

 

Best keeper? He barely makes a save...lol That belongs to Martinez...Talking about the winner takes it all

 

As everyone can see by my avatar, I endorse this message!

 

Probably.

Some others are Ayyoub Bouaddi of Morocco, Johan Manzambi of Switzerland, and Antonio Nusa of Norway.

.....................but Cubarsi is just exceptional.

 

As a 19 year old, your job is to defend Messi in a World Cup final

I’d have given the golden glove to Martinez. Unquestionable for me

 

Cape Verde guy.

 

Arg the first place the last and second place now...Who complains?

 

I thought that too but realistically Argentina conceded too many times for him to win it.

 

Messi is emotional, he'll be stuck with Inter Miami for life

 

What was happening with Spanish players holding back scaloni? Or did I miss something ?

 

Im willing him to the 2028 Copa. I think it happens. Tapping heels and crossing fingers

 

Yeah it was a yellow, and you could see as he was going in that he was going to be late. I was pulling for Argentina, and think they could’ve made it to penalties had he not done that, but it was a deserved yellow, and Spain deserved to win.
