Well guys, another four years before the next world cup. I... wish we made to the semis. I wish that I could see us play. I wish that we could have done a proper challenge for this world cup... 2030? Who knows...

Spain showing us that having a plan, the infranstructure and consistent work yields results, across all divisions (youth, male and female) Spain has always had competitive teams but never won much until the last 20 years.
It’s a feel good moment (two actually) The entire stadium booed Trump at the FIFA final - they also booed when he handed the trophy to Spain after winning.Watch the women’s face. pic.twitter.com/bfp24Af3kQ— Gianl1974 (@Gianl1974) July 20, 2026
Funniest thing is MAGAs not realizing that Mikel Merino was clearly trolling Trump pic.twitter.com/AoKq2CZOtF— Wu Tang is for the Children (@WUTangKids) July 20, 2026
And look how they play, everyone defends and presses and everyone participates with the ball and passes and is able to deal with the ball under pressure. We have the types of players that we can play that style if we want to, lots of great pressing players that are also good with the ball but we're stuck still with some archaic ideas that we need to move past, but not many countries have the type of players like we do, we can't be as good as Spain but we can follow their blueprint.

Not that hard when you play 104 games. Goals/game is a more interesting stat. It has a little better average than the last world cups but they're pretty close.
