Jordan

A shame that was ruled off but if there’s a silver lining for Iran, that play just might give Belgium something else to think about next time Iran get a set piece…

You’ve been going on and on about yanks this, yanks that all World Cup so far. Go yank on my nuts. We’re all rooting for Iran today here anyway. 🇺🇸 🇮🇷

Eloy Room, take a bow 👏

This post is weird as hell

Guaranteed, indeed. ✅🇺🇸

Turkey has one of the weirdest World Cup histories of any country. One group stage knockout (in 1954, which used one of the oddest formats in WC history), one third place finish, and another group stage elimination. Imagine being Turkish in 2002 and someone tells you after what you just watched your national team do, that this team won’t be back in the World Cup for 24 years and when they do return, they get eliminated in the group stage with one game to spare by Australia and Paraguay in a tournament where 8/12 third place teams move on to the next round.

It was hilarious how angry he was when he announced the Almiron red card

WTF THEY CUT TO COMMERCIALS AT HALFTIME HERE RIGHT WHEN IT’S ALL KICKING OFF

I for one cannot wait to see the type of s*** Paraguay is gonna pull in the 2nd half to try to make this 10v10

No way this one ends 11 vs 11

Paraguay not wasting any time getting this one started!

I like us getting to the round of 16 and we are in a decent spot to get a good matchup in the next round. And it might be a good thing to give Pulisic some extra rest. The fan in me wants to go crazy but the fake analyst in me is worried that we don’t have the back line to really make a run. Clean sheet today and that’s great, but we played against a team that was pretty much sat back in 5-4-1 for huge portions of the game. This is our first clean sheet in forever. We aren’t that deep at CB. I really like Richards but he can switch off sometimes. We probably should be doing better than starting Tim Ream in 2026–even though he’s very well respected on the team and is a smart player, he is not very quick. After Richards and Ream, you have question marks abound (though I can see Poch rotating both out of the squad vs Türkiye). Dest and Robinson are a superb attacking fullback pair and fit nicely in Pochettino’s on the ball system but we can get caught on the counter if they’re not in sync with who makes deep runs down the wing. Also Balogun is our best striker but he’s not 90s Ronaldo. He had a chance clean through on goal from midfield and couldn’t create himself a clear shot on target. Those chances have to be buried. I don’t want to take away from our success and believe me, I’m very very very happy right now; but just pointing out our weak spots.

It’s early over there, go back to sleep

I think it’s now quite clear why Australia acted like such a bunch of babies for months because of what Mike Grella (of all people!) said after the group stage draw.

This is a great post. 🐳

For all the possession, the huffing and puffing, and the 2 scrappy goals, we didn’t quite create a whole lot of chances. That play leading to a shot by Dest deep in stoppage time was probably the best clear chance we created from open play. I would have to think Australia puts Irankunda out there to add some electricity up front, they can get back into this game even by playing for set pieces.

Learn the laws of the game, Gretzky

Hahahahahahahaha

This is a perfect half for Canada, they can just about start preparing for the round of 32. No need to risk Davies in this game, let him continue to recover.

First time in my life saying this but I hope Canada goes on to score double digits here

That Cucho Hernandez assist in the 99th minute last night has got to be the assist of the tournament so far (especially as he could have tried to run out the clock and hold onto 2-1 after he won that duel). The late kickoffs have been pure chaos so far this tournament, it’s incredible.

DR Congo played great and England put on a show but there’s no way in hell I’m following that up by watching Jordan f’in Ayew. Bring on Uzbekistan vs Colombia.

He’s coming home… 😶 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-68501845

This is a damn good game

Man, this is amazing.
