Argentina free kick goal!

 

[Agave]

I mean DUH, we know who's gonna win

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Hell of a free kick and terrible goalie there. Argentina runs like a machine even with their 2nd team

 

[LiquidMetal14]

A straight kick to the face would seem like a penalty

 

[Ipsi]

A goal from a free kick and a goal from a penalty

 

[poppabk]

How did that Austrian player not get a card after literally holding on to the guys leg? I know they played advantage and got the goal but still.

Colombia's disallowed goal

 

[clarky]

Colombia's disallowed goal

With the size of his feet that must happen a lot to him.

Rules are rules, but come on...

MESSI IS INEVITABLE

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Did I hear correctly that Iran advances with that Algeria goal?

Crazy 3-3 Austria/Algeria draw.

Nop

 

[poppabk]

Nop

That must have been a rollercoaster ride for Iran fans.

 

[Ipsi]

Best match of the tournament so far?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Austria drew?!? Great finish there!

Argentina, wtf am I watcing?! as soon as they'll meet a tier 1 team it's 0-5.
Their mid game is comically horrible, zero talent.
How is it possible that 95% of the midfields decisions is to kick the ball back instead of driving it forward? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this wtf.

 

[Gp1]

Argentina, wtf am I watcing?!

Their reserves.
But let me tell you a secret that no one likes to hear. Even the Argentina team of 2022 (which was a better team than the one in 2026) was an average team with Messi. Nothing special, apart from Messi.

I'll be rooting for Norway, Sweden and Japan. I hope that at least one of them manages to snatch a win.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

What is this keeper doing, daydreaming?

 

[moogman]

Portugal not winning could well send them out, I can see Croatia beating them on current form.

Round 16... meh... some good games with NED x MOR, POR x CRO and BRA x JAP. But round eight promises a lot already with a possible FRA x GER, POR x ESP and BRA x NOR

Argentina has the easiest path again.

 

[Sabejita]

On the left side, I'll be rooting for France. Duh.

On the right side, England (wishing for a FRA x ENG final), Cabo Verde and Colombia (if Cabo Verde loses against Argentina ).

 

[Hideous Snake]

A surprise will happen in the next round

lol at Argentina/Messi's easy ass path to the finals. Rigged.

Your saying all the games so far a rigged just to give them an easy ride?

England had an easy ride last time (but still fucked it) and a disgusting route to the final this time. Just the way things work out sometimes.

0-0 in Canada South Africa

 

[Sabejita]

Yeah pretty even game, hard to say who'll win.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Yeah pretty even game, hard to say who'll win.

Not the viewers that's for sure. One of those games you want them to go straight to pens at 1/2 time.

 

[Atrus]

Thank god. Canada's goal puts an end for this shit show.

 

[Ipsi]

Congratulations Canada in the 91st minute

Finally a win they actually deserved.

anxious about bra x jap. Japan played amazing games.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Brazil v Japan will be a banger game. Germany will walk over Paraguay

 

[clarky]

Think Japan might knick it personally. Hope so anyway.

Can do. They won the last game between them so yeah, I can see it happen.

The betting shops have Japan as big underdogs in the UK. Evens vs 17/4. Worth a punt, so I have

[Insane Metal]

I was hopeful for Brazil against Japan but I saw Casemiro and Paqueta will be playing. Expectations lowered by 60%.
