World Cup 2026

I reckon Spain have played about 45 minutes of good tournament football since 2010. Horrid football nation.

Sicario2

Klaus euro 2012 final was one of the best team performances ever

Qwiss

Klaus yeah they've played horrid football for about 15 years now. Hold the ball and kill the game through possession. Give me corners over that shite any day.

Klaus

Qwiss I reached my limit when they started playing midfielders up front because they figured they'd get more backpasses that way which helped to keep possession around the box. Blatant crimes against humanity. We used to hang people in Hague for this stuff.

Pepe LeFrits

That could have been a red for the Egypt full back(?) instead not even a foul given

Pepe LeFrits

Wait, so they don't stop the clock during the hydration breaks? Do they add the time on at the end of the half?

USArsenal

Pepe LeFrits Do they add the time on at the end of the half?

Yes, its an automatic 3 minutes added, plus whatever 'other' added time they tack on to it.

Great goal by Egypt

Loved how they worked their left winger/forward in to a more central position

Ref missed about 3 free kicks on Doku lol. Whatever power up City gave him for the run in seems to have run out and he's back to his usual self.

Awesome stuff from Cape Verde. Heroic defending and goalkeeping. Just shows that there aren't many easy games in these things even it should be on paper. Is there any reason why they played defensive boring "anti football" that ruined the game and didn't try to play risky expansive stuff and concede 5 goals or whatever? 🤷‍♂️

Pepe LeFrits

Lol, Lukaku scores with his first touch

Pepe LeFrits

Oh, og. Lukaku still hasn't touched the ball so 😂

Pepe LeFrits

What a pass by Leo

IBL

Giroud such a lacklustre pundit, being bailed out by Micah and Theo

Sicario2

IBL Theo is shit as well. Often only speaks in Cliche’s. ITV by far the better coverage. Ange is a very good pundit despite being a shit manager.

Claudius

What a cretinous, feather-headed buffoon.

A lot of these smaller and lower tier footballing nations are all stepping up. It's nice to see compared to the arrogance and complacency of bigger teams. Their execution is amateurish for chances but I'm loving the energy.

Burnwinter

tazmania It's a bit like what's been happening in the Premier League with the "lesser" clubs benefiting in the current tactical era of greater defensive organisation. Hoping to see a deep run in the tournament by some of the minnows ...

Spain cant believe their luck , with Uruguay drawing its all back to square one.
