Yeah been a massive let down, expected so much more from it.

I think there's been one really decent chance all game.

Fair play to Portugal for nullifying Spain, but it's made for a horrible watch.

World Cup 2026

Post

One thing that this World Cup has weirdly made me appreciate is the so called “retirement leagues”.

There’s plenty of players that absolutely couldn’t hack a full season in the prem but are still very very good players - glad they can go play in an easy league and then still perform at a national level.

Edit: Ronaldo is not included in this

FA considering appealling Quansah's red card, and why not.

Best reason to appeal it is because it would mean Quansah playing RB again

Gonçalo Ramos is such a good player whose career has been massively stalled by PSG and Portugal just refusing to play him

The wild thing about this whole Balogun situation is that it probably shouldn’t have been a red and if they had a reasonable process for overturning decisions they could have done so - they’ve been fucked by their own ineptitude exposing their corruption

Leao and Ramos on the bench whilst an OAP Ronaldo plays every minute is embarrassing

Said to my kid that despite looking like neither team would ever score there'd be a goal before full time... Glad I was right, not because it made me look extremely knowledgeable to my son, but because I can go to bed now rather than in about 40 mins time 🤣

Absolutely shite match, happy Spain went through but think they looked pretty average tonight and can't see them beating France if they meet in the semis.

Ronaldo will probably be transferred to France by FIFA tomorrow.
