FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

The goal really sparked the game to life. Absolutely thrilling stuff since then. Argentina has been relentless, England resolute and there is always the threat of a lethal English counter-attack.

Otamendi?! Oh right, both Argentine CBs are on yellows.

In intensity, ok, but as a football game? Spain’s game against France was a piece of art, while this is strenuously ugly. But exciting and a nail-biter, I give you that.

I saw it get down to the keepers one time.

Jees! off the post for Argentina! What a cross!

Argentina are a good side when they come out to play football.

Another fantastic cross from DePaul. Argentina getting good attemps.

Argentina’s going to break through as long as England can’t get an outlet to start a break or relieve pressure.

England need to string some possession together. If they keep staying on the defensive they will probably concede a goal

Not sure why you don’t put the ball at Bellingham’s or Kane’s feet in that situation…

Messi just lost the ball both previous possessions because of low foot speed / quickness.

England brining on their 6’7" defender, must be tired of the good crossing opportunities.

England just keep handing over possession to Argentina.

Bugger.

Enzo!

That was just inevitable.

What a rocket to make it 1-1.

On the corner I was wondering if Messi got back on and boy does it look close.

GODDAMNIT WHAT DID I SAY

You can’t leave someone alone that close to the goal with enough time to set up a shot
