FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

I forgot that it’s the middle of winter in Argentina.

We decided he was like a knockoff villain if The Asylum made a Bond movie, kind of a cut rate Javier Bardem.

More Mads Mikkelson I think, but Bond villian is a good shout.

A jaw that strong is probably glass.

Great lunge by Argentinian defender to prevent what would otherwise have been an easy Swizerland scoring chance.

I see it!

Chippy game. Switzerland have had chances and they’re already pressing pretty high, they might just stay the course. Not familiar enough with their roster to know what a likely switch would be.

Martinez really had to keep his eye on the ball ekeing through those players to get down to his left for the save.

Argentina was playing a dangerous game and it burned them.

Which just happened, I’m only following on the Internet. Where is the guy who gives play-by-play?

Five hole…in soccer- ouch.

Switzerland has been knocking at the door and finally ties it. 1-1.

VAR for a change…

Clear dive.

What a fucking idioit.

Looked like he voluntarily lifted up his right foot then went down

It’s deeply stupid to dive while on a yellow, especially with VAR lurking.

What is going through his head when he does that?

Possession time this half is almost equal.

Possession is not a stat that matters, not usually. It tends to be about style as much or more than how well people are playing.

Think Switzerland have clearly been better this half.
