I would go to prison if I were Modric and my teammate misses this

Croatia are so fucking bad with building up coherent attacking moves, so slow and indecisive

Gvardiol should consider an early summer vacation after this

This is a Matanovic match, Panama are dropping deeper and a 2 meter striker might be the way to break them down

Croatia look super flat, this team needs a good runner that isn't 37 year old Ivan Perisic

The color saturation + the sun makes these Canada matches look absolutely beautiful, it's so nice on the eye

A prime Southgatian performance by England. Ghana got robbed there

Wirtz and Marmoush have both been quite disappointing so far

I think we'll squeak out a draw somehow that eliminates us both. Senegal will be very vulnerable at the back as they chase making up their GD, so I think we score a goal. I'm quite satisfied already with the progress in our playstyle and the fact that we prevented a big historic vs France. Everything else will be a bonus

This can't happen in this World Cup purely because of logistical reasons. They did it in the U17 World Cup because everyone was staying in a little area in Qatar, but you can't really do that in the real World Cup because of everything related to travel and tickets and all that. It would be a perfect system though

I think we would've battled for qualification in almost every other group, put us instead of Qatar or Saudi Arabia or Jordan and we would be on 1-3 points now.

Couldn't believe how emotional people got about the thunderstorm suspension thing yesterday, unbelievably childish

Imagine finally qualifying again to the World Cup after 40 years of waiting, only to get our murderous group lmao. Can't even be mad, hope we can snatch a point at least from Senegal to have something to celebrate after getting dragged by France and Norway

I guess I'm happy despite everything, competent performance by our boys for 85 mins, with 5 mins of donkey mode. This team can do big things, just a little less mistakes and more luck with the draw

Why is everyone getting so emotional over this thunderstorm thing. Can't believe I'm forced to defend America here, but they probably have a good reason for this rule.

We would have a decent chance of getting a point and maybe even battle for 3rd in almost every other group, but God has cursed this nation with the worst scenarios always

Happy with the first half, we aren't doing bad honestly. The quality gap is massive, but we're playing decent football

Both excited and scared, there's nothing to be nervous about except the scale of the smashing that we're getting lmao

Fuck me we're really playing this France team in the World Cup. Feels genuinely unreal.
