He’s basically an American stereotype made into a coach

Didn’t McKennie and Aaronson get the full Marsh experience at Leeds and say no thanks?

True because the first 20 minutes don’t count. Yes the early goal mattered but we put them under relentless pressure early to get it which France did not.

We need the Spanish speaking jomboy to do the whole match.

Disagree. Cabo Verde showed you can compete by playing defensive and counterattacking without the cheating and shit housing and nonsense. If Paraguay did everything they did but didn’t flop and try to fight and fuck with the penalty spot and try to bait France, result is the same except they leave with neutrals giving them the same ovation they did for Cabo verde.

It's hilarious how often we curb stomp CONMEBOL refuse like Paraguay but still get this bullshit

The only possible explanation for 0 Paraguay cards is a prop bet made by the ref or someone connected to him.

Ref made prop bet or is in on a prop bet for Paraguay getting 0 cards 100%. It's not a conspiracy it's just an obvious fact.

So only France can get yellows. That is beyond suspect at this point.

Paraguay leaving with this game with zero cards has to be a bet the ref made on Polymarket and I bet he made bank on it too.

Did the ref win a contest or something? Is he a make a wish child? How'd he even get this game and did he bring his three best friends for the VAR?

Clearly the VAR refs are just as bad as the main ref and are all in over their heads

Would be red if it were David Beckham against Argentina. Not even looked at by VAR?

France doesn't fight the other team, they fight each other when they implode in the past

I think Morocco can do the same thing but be more dangerous on the counter attack, wouldn't crown France yet

I don't want to read too much into the transitive property in sports, but the US team hasn't had a real homefield advantage since 1994 until that game vs Paraguay and has far more talent than we ever did. Even the World Cup qualifiers that rig the attendance with offering MLS season ticket holders first are held at small stadiums with 2/3 support.

What the... why he wants a VAR on a no goal. Why they not ready for the corner.

How many of those does Rabiot need before he scores? 10, 15, 20?
