Futbol thread.

The fuck even is this?
Unless someone decides to shit itself in the few games that are left this is going to be the biggest clown moment of the entire tournament. Might be the only one so far, this cup has been surprisingly clean of fucktarded blooper momments and the level of goalkeepers has been specially high. That guy is not going to live it down for a while.


>Mexico
>True football heritage
Mexicans are fanatical and obsessed about futbol but suck terribly at it. The Mexican league is surreal, full stadiums of diehard fans foaming at the mouth over some of the worst futbol matches you have ever seen.

Sucks for them, they actually had a good team this time around and still fucked it up, but the only reason they are a regular fixture in the world cup is they classify through CONCACAF, the downie special eds league. I believe this actually hurts Mexico a lot, they never compete at a high level until the world cup actually starts then they shit the bed.
 
Football is a beautiful thing

They won 4x1 against Paraguay, the same Paraguay lost only 1x0 against France, then Belgium won 4x1 against USA.

And Belgium is like France younger brother.
I don't have proof for this but I think it's highly likely that these billion dollar events do get manipulated to some extent.

The same way very rarely only completely irrelevant teams fall through the doping test. "Soccer is a clean sport". :story:
 
Let's see Europe beat the US in war.

It was a shitty mistake but it's funny how the DEFENDER DIRECTLY BEHIND HIM SAW THE SHOT COMING DIRECTLY AT HIM AND COULDN'T FUCKING KICK IT INTO SPACE.

Ream (besides the goalie) was directly responsible
for the two goals that made the morale difference.
You can see the whole thing crumbling in that moment.

The Pulisic (self) injury destabilized an otherwise competent team
with no backbone nor backup plan to accomodate for this,
and no cheering from their fans, being locals,
mere hours past their 250th birthday.

It's not illegal to make some noise
as long as you are not Mexican.

Belgium showed a gruyere defense,
their goalkeeper kind of sucked and they were also
running on nerves that a cheering crowd could have exploited,
but the lack of partnerships within the US team ended up
sealing the deal and handing a broad goal difference
to one of the most boring teams of the whole World Cup
(and hands down the one with the most vomitive alt-jersey colours).

Add to that the whole red card ruckus
(doesn't matter what side you're on, everyone got free ammo
to take potshots, which became fair game in the name of
gossip controversy, tribalism and moral posturing) and there you go:

USA 1 - Belgium 4.
Certainly not Brazil 1- Germany 7.
At the end of the day, that's all there is to it.-

I know my guy, I was just pointing out how retarded it is to claim Mexico has good football heritage when that's categorically untrue.
The only reason they are so high on rankings is because they are CONCACAF and beat on some bumfuck caribean countries. Merging CONMEBOL and CONCACAF would improve the CONCACAF level, but it would be a pain in the ass for the libertadores because of all the extra travelling.


This made me fucking laugh out loud.

It's actually the reason I'm going to start tuning into Liga MX when league play resumes. Their fanaticism alone makes me wanna watch. I love a good crowd even if the football is dire.
The media is just like that too, they glaze their league and NT and cope non stop. In my decades of watching I don't recall seeing a pro not get the kick off right and give their opposing team a free kick, LMAO
 
Última edición:
Damn, RIP CUM. I still think based on what I've heard from people abroad that the US was great as far as hosting goes, at least a lot better compared to Qatar.
Maybe I'm just a defeatist but I cannot see us beating the Argies. maybe if we actually won against anyone that wasn't new zealand(no offence to any kiwis here), didn't get by on two draws(one as a result of one of the dumbest offside calls) and penalties I would have been more optimistic.
 
Never enjoyed soccer tbh, but I thought everything was fun to watch. Seeing all the love people gave visiting the US was especially nice.

At the end of the day, all but one countries will rage, get hungover, then wait for the next competition.
 
It comes to every nation eventually in these kinds of tournaments. I just wish America went out with a really good game instead of standing around with our thumbs in our asses. Gg next time we’ll get the best cottonpickers imaginable to play this sport.
 
Just remember: being American means we have one thing the Europeans probably never will: freedom of speech and the ability to post memes without the government getting on our ass.
