I was discussing the exact same thing with my father a few weeks ago when the world cup was starting. I was like we want Zizou to do great so for that to happen it's better for France not to win this one. It will be impossible to follow that and be successful. And I was saying hopefully Carlo will get his with Brazil and then 4 years later here comes Zizou. Obviously that didn't work.

 

Too bad no team picks up on this trend.

 

I hope France wins the World Cup. They haven't won Euros since 2000 so that will be the immediate target for ZZ to achieve in 2028.

 

If England qualify, Bellingham will miss the SF vs Argentina. The yellow card is guaranteed.

 

I'm sure they'll target him with some choice comments to get him riled up. I hope he keeps his cool.

I really wish the Swiss stood a chance.

 

Too bad he won't be on the pitch..Bellingham is mature that way

 

There is talk in England that Rodri will need surgery after the WC.

 

The most shocking part of this WC for me was watching the American broadcast and one of the actual American broadcasters immediately explain this properly on the spot.

 

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: England's World Cup quarter-final against Norway could be delayed due to extreme heat in Miami.

Temperatures are expected to reach 29 - 32°C, with a real feel of up to 44°C at kick-off!

Nothing to see here; it will make headlines but nothing will ever come of it.

 

Where I live 101F/40C is called a Tuesay afternoon.

 

Maybe FIFA should have realized more than 4 hours before the game kicked off that it tends to be hot at 5:00pm in Miami in July.

Too late to move it now.

 

It's a coincidence, I'm sure..4 out of Argentina 6 games are/were 6pm ET or later.

Only 3 YCs all competition and one of highest fouls to cards ratio.

 

The "Jordan Rules".



La Liga teams have perfected this with Mbappe, let the player beat you not his team and let the team drag itself down playing for that player.

Every team in Spain knows the objective at Real Mbappe (aka Mbappe FC), therefore if you just let him score the game basically ends at that point and you are free to go and take the win.

 

Wrong thread, Ferrero Rocher..

 

England should win but Norway making the semis will be fn cool,i have some hope that Argentina could lose today,the swiss are not bad if they dont miss their chances they are a solid team

Norway-Switzerland semi and one of them in the final will be amazing
