Agree Ronaldo runs that FA … his ego should have a its own shirt Argentina is going to get found out - I like scaloni but their defense is suspect and miss pace
Can't think of any examples off the top of my head but don't be shocked if I come back to this comment to quote you if they have a bad injury run later in the tournament or tire. What might actually save them and be different for them are the games basically being quarters now and not halves.
I can't decide if Zlatan being a self-absorbed jackass is a bit or if that's who he is. Don't think Lalas quite deserved that (France were abysmal in the first half) on this one occasion, but Henry's reaction was hilarious.
These commentators of the Portugal/Congo game are so bad and biased. They seem surprised that Congo can kick a ball. You can tell that they haven’t been watching African tournaments for the last few years.
Feeling any different now? p.s. I didn't watch the DRC-POR match but caught the last 5-10 mins. And that was right after I was listening to YankeeGunner muse about whether Benitez will feel "forced" to start/play CR7 and if so will that actually make Portugal weaker. Anybody think that might've been a factor today?
Ronaldo lunged and stole a sitter off Bruno's foot sometime mid-second half, so yes in both abstract and concrete ways.
Owen Hargreaves, not Murray. Worst announcing duo of the tournament on Fox so far IMO and it's not that close. They talk over each other, peddle in stereotypes, and don't seem to have an ounce of chemistry.
Perisic is 37 & Modric 40. They may just have a sort of "last dance" motivation today and at WC'26 in general. Edit: Oops, Modric just throws away that idea, and throws away a goal by kicking Noni in the box. PK had to be taken twice by Kane because of keeper off his line.
Interesting article. Now, I cant unsee them. https://www.sportbible.com/football...orld-cup/world-cup-pink-boots-240259-20260617
There's gotta be an 18-letter german word for the panic that Madueke feels when he sees the goalkeeper.
I need the see the camera shot they got in-stadium because the one they used on TV has him 100% on the line. Edit: Reddit says it was because of Gvardiol encroaching, then being the player to clear. Edit x2: and Livakovic was also off the line now that we have the other angle.
