Odegaard had a good game, Jude is straight up willing England to win, always in the right spot - can't teach that. Now cmon Leo

Funny how referees have always ruled in favor of Argentina for the last 50 years. They’re even allowed to score with their hands...
Dude, Messi literally just ran into a guy, and the guy he ran into got a yellow somehow. wtf lol

The funny part is that if Paredes did not get a yellow after Embolo's dive, the VAR could not have gotten involved. That plus the fact it's very unlikely a star player in a big team would have gotten a 2nd yellow for something like that leaves a bit of a sour aftertaste. Instead of having another 20min of competitive play, it became a game of "can Switzerland defend for 50 minutes without getting scored on". The answer: only for 45.

Kinda sucks that the only teams left are 4/8 that have already won World Cups. But, England hasn't since 1966 or some shit like that, so I'm rooting for my boy Jude.

Watching these fucking players flop like bitches in the most competitive and watched events is the reason I hate this sport.

There has to be a way to Americanize this into something better. 1st yellow card is playing down one man for 10 minutes, second on the same guy is a half but yellows only last until one goal is scored. Red card can be a 45 min down a man, no matter how many goals the opponent scores. Also, they need an offsides line like hockey so they can get rid of the current shitty way AND increase the number of goals scored.

They just need to be more aggressive with carding for diving. There's already a rule they just need to enforce it.

I was hoping MLS would do something, but they bent the knee to FIFA. Fuck FIFA. Boring ass sport.

England is a bunch of retards sitting back like they did.
That's Tuchel for you. He's a shit coach. Thinking you can just absorb pressure from Argentina that long is retarded and it looks like he's trying to keep it up into extra time.

Yeah they totally stopped pressing as soon as Gordon scored. Can't do that against a team like Argentina that has so much firepower. It's like they are trying to lose.

HAHAHAHAHA.

YGWYFD for hiring Tuchel, England. There's a reason he was run out of Bundesliga. Trash coach and I have no fucking clue how he won a Champion's League - then again, a lot of Micky Mouse "championships" were won during COVID.

Aregentina just wanted this more. You can tell when Bellingham started dribbling up the pitch and they smoked him.

Pure comedy by England. They have no attackers now to make a comeback themselves. They subbed most of them out.
