OT: The 2026 World Cup Thread

Kind of opposite games though. Baseball is way too much standing around doing nothing. Soccer is pretty much end to end action for 90 minutes.
Im not a baseball fan, but players are at bat virtually every minute with an opportunity to score.

Not so in soccer.
 
5 - 10 minutes is sort of a broad window of time to me.

So, I really dont know when the game is ending.
But you get an entire pub yelling “blow the effing whistle”
 
I’ve never watched a soccer game from start to finish.
Just curious, do you watch NFL games from start to finish, including the 126 commercials that consume 1 hour 3 minutes of broadcast time during the 3 hour 12 minute event with 15 minutes of real action.

I do

But recording and fast forwarding is the way to go.
More time to yell at clouds



And.................

 
Mbappe is strong.
 
How does the defense repeatedly leave Messi all alone at the top of the box?
 
yep thats like the 07 Pats losing to thr 0-16 Browns

Spain just couldn't find the net. They had plenty of chances. Sometimes things just don't go your way. Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in their first game in 22' and won the World Cup.?
 
What sport do you watch? You don't get a red card for tugging on a shirt, that's a ridiculous take.
Not the tugging of the shirt, look where his foot is, that's clear intent to injure.

Now he's Messi, and he gets away with it because he's a) Messi and b) really good at getting away with it. It's like an elite receiver who gets away with push-offs.

I think A is the only option here lol the VAR didnt want to have the ref look at it or he would've been sent off. Big scandal in soccer media and Twitter right now
from those who feel Argentina were favored in 2022 with all those penalties

If pressed, I’d say “Algeria doesn’t have the talent to stop he, nor his teammates”.
 
look at the foot

If you have ever watched the beating Messi has taken, from his first day at Barca until now you would realize that is nothing in comparison.
 
These African teams came to play another shocker Portugal / Congo draw
 
The tie score in soccer makes it difficult to watch...

It should always go to a sudden death...

That way if you want to see the action... you can watch the last 15 minutes.

1 Hour of running your ass off trying to score, and then a bunch of difficult free kicks... and the opposing team gets to answer.

If you cant score in 1 hr... why do you need another half hour.
