Here it is...I'm clearly saying they SHOULD NOT count. Your'e saying the opposite because there are "stars in the game." What am I missing here?

I thought announcers were way over the top though. Entertaining? Yes. Great? No.
No. These games used to be more competitive and pride was at stake. The younger generation of athletes doesn’t have the same pride. This game was an embarrassment to WC competition. But I guess Americans liked the 6-4 score, so there’s that.
1000%. It may not have been traditional hard-nosed, hard-tackling, fake-diving futbol, but it was incredibly exciting, showing off the talents on two of the best, most creative teams in the world. I could've watched that all day.
Wow, shocked that you would respond that way since you positioned yourself as a purist in this thread. That was garbage from a competitive spirit standpoint.
Two point is fine like they have in the pros. College will adopt it someday. Just like soccer will someday come into the new century.
None of my English friends cared other than it pissed them off for not playing that way against Argentina.
He’s just an England cuck. The game actually sucked. Looked like an all star NBA game.
If they said that that means they have no understanding of the game. Argentina simply wouldn't allow another team to slice them up like that in an elimination game.
Possession was only 50-45 for spain
They definitely possessed more in the offensive side of the field.
Would like to see tv give that breakdown
Hopefully Argentina scores first. If Spain scores first, it could turn into a boring Spain defensive lockdown.
Yes, the possession in the other team's zone was probably 80-20 for Spain, which is way more important.
Halftime show? Madonna? pretty good. BTS? pretty good. JB? Really liked him slowing it down. Shakira? Always fun. Pele followed by kids and Sesame Street characters? Certainly fun, but nothing amazing. Overall, though, nobody wowed me, so I would've rather had 10 minutes of analysis and the usual 15-minutes halftime and back to the game
So said people about a 3 pointer in basketball. Soccer will change someday. Inevitable. Only a matter of when.
PKs should go away in a championship game. Play it out like tennis majors.
That's what happened in 2022 with Argentina beating France after one of the best matches ever ended tied 3-3 after OT. Killed me to see that game end on PKs. That's the 3rd time it's happened since 1982 when PKs became the means of deciding the game.
I remember I think it was 94 with Italy ending that way. I think his name was Roberto Baggio missing on a PK. He was there top player I believe. I thought the game would’ve adapted by now.
You again? Shouldn’t you be somewhere complaining about the Yankees’ roster construction?
Nay, gave up on them for this season. Time to make fun of soccer.You again? Shouldn’t you be somewhere complaining about the Yankees’ roster construction?
You gave up before the trade deadline when they are in the WC lead in a wide open AL?Nay, gave up on them for this season. Time to make fun of soccer.
