That was a very impressive outing for Spain. The mighty France team got badly outplayed.

Erling Haaland brought home with him a stuffed raccoon holding a bottle of booze. A Bucce (sp?) purchase, perhaps?

I heard that it was a purchase that he made at a western store called wild bill’s in Dallas. Apparently they sold out of a lot of their merch in the following days.

I think the final was won today. I guess my hope is England beating Argentina and Spain beating England.

Spain v France was BORING because Spain was so dominant. The game today should at least be entertaining.

It's hard to see either one beating Spain if Spain plays close to as good as they played against France.

I put .75 cents on Argentina to win. Is my bet the kiss of death…probably.lol

messi cup just got messed up

 

[Adrian]

Doh

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

MESSITINA LIVES

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

why'd they stop the game if argentina committed no foul? it sucks the england dude got dizzy but they don't stop play for other teams - then he casually runs off the field - wtf

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

doesn't matter now - ball knows

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

argentina couldn't do jack with messi in the middle - they slide him over to the side and he makes magic

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

hoping the english fans are as graceful as the mexican fans were after their loss

 

[Adrian]

Yeah! I won 60 cents lol

 

[ajcardfan]

What a gut punch for England.

Argentina's run of late game dramatics in this World Cup has to be unparalleled.

Holy cow. I cannot believe Tuchel took his foot off the gas against Argentina. Sack his ass.

built a small lead and then played not to lose - reminded me of the cardinals

Because he wasn't dizzy--he was cheating and pretending. It's called simulation and it should receive a red card. Nothing they showed on TV would elicit that reaction. He was cheating to slow the game down and break Argentina's rhythm. England were rightly punished for it.

Drinks on @Adrian!

Yeah, he should be sacked. Unbelievably stupid mistakes in squad selection, subs, etc, culminating in this loss. Best crop of English talent in decades, which is how they got this far, against their coach's idiocy.

Well, Dan Burn will be used to it. Eddie Howe's turned into a scared little girl whenever Newcastle get a lead and inevitably lose the game with negative tactics.

 

[Stout]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Couldn't happen to a nicer team. Go uber negative for forever and park the bus with a 1-goal lead? Get punished. Simulate a head injury to waste time and break the rhythm of the game? Get punished. Aside from hating their annoying fans, this was a thoroughly deserved loss. Manager should get the sack.
