Well, two more rounds go by...

Round of 16

Biggest winner: Argentina and England
They were dead in the water vs Egypt. They avoid going down 3-0 due to VAR and then they score 3 straight to win. They stayed alive for the tittle defense.

England holds of Mexico in Azteca while being completely out played. They go down a man and still hold on, 3-2. Extremely tough atmosphere to play in.

Biggest loser: USA
Not only did we play terrible, the world thinks we tried to cheat. Our stars did not show up and the role players might have been worse. The biggest fears about this team came to light. World makes fun of us, casuals say they don't care, soccer media blows up on who to blame, die hards die a little inside...

Biggest continental winner: Europe
Took 6 of the 8 remaining spots. Not much to argue about.

Biggest continental losers: North America but minutes from being South America.
All three host nations go down. Mexico with a huge fight. Canada showed life and went for it causing them to drop two more goals late. We already talked about the US.

Quarterfinals

Biggest winner: Argentina
They just keep winning. A red card for the Swiss ruined the game but the lesson is no flopping. That took guts to call but it was right.

Biggest loser: Belgium
Not that they played poorly but that's the end of their golden generation. They really only had a great 5 minutes against Senegal and smoked us but they never got up to the top level other than that.

Biggest continental winner: Europe

Biggest continental loser: Africa


I am still thinking that France is the leader to win this thing. Both games are going to be fantastic.

🚨 World Scandal 🚨

When we thought the Egypt thing couldn't be topped.

9 minutes and 41 seconds of shame.

They've tarnished this sport forever.

FIFA will probably delete this video soon, so maximum sharing.

It’s cool seeing the stars ball and the best carrying their teams to the semis but holy eff, a chalk semi is sooooooo boring story wise. Hopefully the matches will be epic.

4-minute video showcasing the most prominent fouls, violence, and physical harm inflicted by Argentine players against Egypt, and how the referee was lenient with them and biased in their favor. And they sufficed with the comment: "A global scandal and unprecedented filth"🤢 The video garnered 30 million views and 35 thousand shares within 3 hours 👇

And the world was outraged by Trump suggesting that they take away Balogun's red card..........lmao.

True colors always shine in the end.

This is from July 3rd after Croatia had a goal taken away by technology. I meant to post it at the time. The games would be a lot better without the arbitrary application of VAR and ball chip.

How do you call a PK when the player hand balled it first?

Not a France fan but Id be pissed if I were.

This game is amazing. France is on the ropes.


*** 5 minutes later the Spain keeper has to make a straight on slide tackle 35 yards out on Mbappe and our guy cant hit a ball 30 yards with his right foot.

France has to go at them and the back side of the blade is 🇪🇸 counter attack. As a neutral this is the best set up possible.

Mbappe is about to do Mbappe ****.
