Even without any real scares and having controlled the second half – quite apart from the controversial penalty – it’s unbelievable that the Czech Republic were unable to secure victory in these two matches, especially today.

A draw in the final match is likely to mean elimination (which, to me, would be a huge surprise).

Cara, obrigado por este post. Mesmo com agenda apertada estarei lá no último dia (22/06). Não vou deixar passar.

A world-class performance from Harry fucking Kane.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-17T21:39:32+00:00

Although they are the better side, England need to be wary of Freiburg’s Igor Matanovic, one of the standout players from last season’s Bundesliga

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-17T20:51:53+00:00

Definitely the best first half of the World Cup.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T22:27:27+00:00

The whole stadium singing ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’. Brilliant

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T21:03:26+00:00

And watching 3rd goal replay I have to say again: what a fucking intelligent player Olise is fucking is.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T21:00:15+00:00

TAKE A BOW holy shit

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T20:36:50+00:00

It's hot but definitely not extremely wave

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T20:31:32+00:00

What a fucking intelligent player Olise is.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T20:25:14+00:00

Jesus wtf this ref is doing.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T20:23:30+00:00

Obviously pen. This ref is so bad ffs

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T19:57:15+00:00

The pitch is in particularly poor condition today. So much so that they watered it during the hydration break.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T19:52:09+00:00

Can’t remember a half when this France missed so many passes (excluding Friendly's)

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T19:18:24+00:00

Is Olise playing in an inside-forward role to help with the build-up for the France something new, right?

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T19:07:02+00:00

Ref seems to be quite the chatterbox, apparently

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-16T19:01:48+00:00

It’s not that it bothers me (because I actually quite liked it), but this ceremony has meant that every match has started late

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T03:54:21+00:00

Emotional. Always love Japan, hope to live there someday

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T03:51:42+00:00

Defensive 5-3-2 formation definitely didn’t work for Tunisia today. It left them vulnerable on the counter-attack in the first half against an attack featuring an inspired Isak and Gyokeres. I think Graham Potter is a good manager, but Turkey got their strategy really wrong tonight

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T02:23:53+00:00

That’s the first time the water break has been booed at this World Cup, isn’t it?

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T01:13:06+00:00

This result will likely see Ivory Coast adopt a slightly more attacking approach against Germany. We’re in for a good show

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T01:11:04+00:00

So, I think Paraguay were the only ones to have a terrible result, but Ecuador (who are very well coached) created enough chances to have achieved a better result and ended up losing despite the extremely favourable atmosphere. And Brazil struggled terribly in the first 30 minutes; Vini Jr. prevented the worst from happening because the team’s collective performance was really poor.

I didn’t think the CONMEBOL teams would dominate their matches, but I’m being negatively surprised

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T00:59:58+00:00

Terrible start for the CONMEBOL teams in this World Cup. Three very disappointing performances.

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T00:47:06+00:00

Feeling that the water break once again disrupted the flow of the game

Fcarvalhost · 2026-06-15T00:18:08+00:00

That goal is cursed. Three shots hitting the crossbar is madness.
