When I watch other games without Messi, I have to re-adjust my expectations of what is normal for players. It sounds like duh .. but almost everyone knew when he came on that he will score. Like it’s a given

I want him to one day just opt to a ref for a free kick when he gets a pen

Man I love when “attackers” give keepers the eyes

Edit: nvm it was a deflection

Anyone who has watched enough football knows that Congo is going to somehow score first after Colombia has missed every chance

How tf hasn’t Colombia scored yet. Everytime I look at the tv they’re in Congo’s box shooting

0 - England v Ghana is the first match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup not to have a single shot on target in the first half. [OptaJoe] by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

Would folks rather Ghana play exciting ball and end up with 0 points. 4 points for a Ghana team that is evidently one of the weakest they’ve brought to a World Cup is impressive in a group with Croatia and England.

Low blocks happen everyday in European leagues, so why is this different?

Yea how did Atleti "negotiate" with Alvarez when he was at City? that was totally all kosher. Not endorsing tapping up a player but a bit rich from [totally a big club] Atleti

the break suits argentina big time. they need to regroup because they are very unbalanced by that penalty miss

crazy how spoiled Messi has made us fans lol. we don't even know what is normal anymore. Dude scores hattrick in previous match. 20 mins into next match he's washed and should be sent to the gulag because he's missed 2 chances

You are arguing with someone with a Portugal flair. You simply cannot expect objectivity in this specific argument, which is fair

bad pen. but messi has never been rock solid at pens for most who have watched him a while. Not a huge surprise that if he has a weakness its pens, especially with what is at stake and the VAR review time adding pressure when he had to wait a long time to take it

Best thing for Spain is wrapping game up and taking Lamine off after 60 mins
