Agree that Bellingham has something narcissistic about him. though he seems to show up in some important games like against Norway 2 goals and Mexico 2 goals. Without England playing good. Add Gundogan to. He did good for City.
Yes of course Gundogan, he even captained Man City to some trophies. I would also add Leno who has had a very solid EPL career.
Has anyone noticed ? Many South America and Spanish players are very good header given their height, They alway look dangerous on the corner and cross. Lautaro Martinez is only 174cm but he could score winner against England. I think overall, they're just better and more skillful than Europe players almost in every category.
No disrespect to the guys you mentioned, but I meant big players / big moves. I did forget about Gündogan though, he obviously did very well at man city.
Skill in headers but South American players also demonstrate more intensity and garra (grit or fighting spirit). Despite the general shorter height of most players, Argentina dominated the hell out of English defenders who were supposed to mark them. They wanted it more, while the opponents stood around hapless
Fair, although I think Havertz should be considered a big player/move as he has gone for a lot of money both to Chelsea and then to Arsenal (well over 100m combined), has won big trophies (CL + EPL) and has even scored in two CL finals, including the winner for Chelsea v Man City. You could even argue that he has made a bigger impact then Ballack.
That was a very entertaining thrid place match. England get on the podium for the first time in 60 years and win their first ever bronze medal. This wraps up the World Cup for me. For the first time in my life I will deliberately not watch the final, as I can only take so much scumminess, and my prediction is this: Spain will stain the World Cup for the second time in 16 years.
when you want them to lose they keep winning. Now as you predict they will win, they will actually lose
The final itself is a disgrace. But hold on, more bad news as we probably will see more teams in the future as Fifantino seriously considering 64 team in the next edition of WC. So there's probability of that little fella will play in his home country lol.
Couldn't watch the final, but judging from the stats Argentina had less right to be in the final than Germany did in 2002.
nothing surprising about this WC. -Argentina suck ass without the Argentinian Draxler, LMAO. I don't like Spain but Argentina are thugs (as they are in every tourney) who cheated their way to final. I've always said I want to see Argentina without Argentinian Draxler as ALL of their success is basically him carrying the team, post-Argentinian Draxler, will they be as bad as Brazil and indications its end of the road for the shrimp. -Pengland gonna Pengland and flop hard as usual, LMAO. 60 years and counting!!!! Told you guys Tuchel is a double agent!!! Hawwy Kane is as usual all important matches he goes invisible and some want us to believe he s one of best CFs ever, LULZ. -Spain won back to back tourneys essentially without real CFs and playing false 9s or mediocre ones. I just hope we don't imitate this shit, they keep being able to win tourneys without CFs but we clearly cant do that so no point in imitating them AGAIN. all in all nothing surprising about this WC, Spain and France were always the biggest threats. I would take Spain 2nd WC over Argentina 4th. what annoys me is that since Brazil are SHIITE, we are legit wasting chances to overtake them. Imagine we had done better from 2002-present we would be #1 in WC trophies.
Im glad you're back my man. We've really missed you. New era for German football under klopp. Hopefully we will get back on track. Agree its sickening watching Spain win again. But Argentina are a disgrace.
Spain deserved to win, it was a scrappy match but they showed more intent. Still I generally find them pretty boring to watch. Argentina just tried to kill the game. Also, welcome back @Ger90!!
Hey guys, if anyone is wondering I'm OK. I kept my word and skipped the final, spending the afternoon shaving my face. Surprisingly I'm not as upset as you might believe, but still, I think it's up to all NTs to really step it up and make sure Spain never get anywhere near a trophy ever again. Cabo Verde are the only ones who can hold their heads high, as they are the only ones who didn't lose to Spain. Finally, welcome back @Ger90
Nah, I always use hot water to warm up my face and shave with very sharp blades. I'm very meticulous when it comes to shaving my face.
You know guys, the only positive side of Spain staining the World Cup a second time is that it means the Argies will finally STFU at least for a little while.
another +, is that Trump is pissed that Spain won, since Spain the country slighted him he has a grudge against them and then they win WC on USA soil, LMAO. Double W from Spain!!!
I actually chuckled at the sight of Trump wanting to join in on Spain's celebrations only for Infantino to finally grow a backbone and ushering him out.
a Little Bitch when he tried to get Muller carded in WC10 even though ball rolled on Argentinian Draxler arm which then hit Muller hand. and a bitch to his last breath in his last WC match in 2026, LMAO. What a cringe player, LULZ. Lionel Messi called for Marc Cucurella to be sent off for covering his mouth while speaking to him. pic.twitter.com/TldqP8BD6g— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 19, 2026
