Designated pink boots 2026. Quartered football, brought to you be PepsiCo, McDonald's & affiliates. 

 

Ivory Coast & Ecuador meant to be somewhat underdogs this competition.

You see, Netherlands, this is how you do Orange

Hope I'm pleasantly surprised by this one, probably the least interest I've had in a fixture so far, but i'm on night shifts so I'm in it for the long haul. Entertain me you bastards!
Feel like pure shit just want to watch Uzbekistan vs. Colombia 

[StanSP]

Can someone actually lump an Ecuadorian in the face? Twice they've gone down without being touched, trying to con the ref. 

[OntarioFox]

yeah ok this is boring so far, hope it follows a similar trajectory to japan / netherlands

[Jaspa]

Thought they were going to start using VAR for corner/goal kick decisions? Missed that save there from the Ecuador keeper.

Something about if a corner is given and it's incorrect, then it goes to a goal kick. But not the other way round.

Ecuadorians are feisty...

Quite enjoyed that first half

[MPH]

Ivory Coast beat France like a week before the World Cup kicked off… I’m sure the French were too scared to  give 100%.. no one wants to miss the first game..

[MPH]

Oooooh

[MPH]

But anyway, my point was I think they should come good… their physicality should come good second half

Watching this in a bar in Houston full of Ecuadorians. For some reason they keep almost celebrating when Ivory Coast come close 😂

 

Tbf, half the drinks on tap are craft beer and the other half are THC beers so it might explain it. 

[MPH]

That Konan… he’s an absolute barbarian..

so whilst all boot suppliers didn’t collude to get pink boots at the same time, all their market research pointed to the same thing

'kin hell this Rodriguez fella is short ain't he?
