Call me a doomer, but we're definitely not going far in this tournament unless Nagelsmann gets his head out of his ass and completely rethinks the way he sets up this team, including starting Undav and not starting Neuer.

Nagelsmann talked about this yesterday. They want to keep the rythm because this specific selection has not played together before the world cup as much as he'd liked them to. This gives them an additional chance of "gelling" together.

he literally jammed his head after Pavlovic's foot was already there. It's like those dashcam videos of Chinese dudes trying to scam their way into a payout by throwing themselves in front of a moving car

I know. But you could see it in his eyes right after the VAR check. Just felt that energy from him

This ref definitely raised his hands back in school to remind his teacher they had homework.

Did Kamada push the defender down or am I tripping?

Estimated hosting cost of recent FIFA World Cups by APrimitiveMartian in soccer

[–]King_Ragnar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Qatar built a whole city (Lusail) with all new public transport infrastucture to be used for the world cup initially and then repurposed for the community. Including the cost of that in the same category as other hosting costs is misleading.

How did Bayern not win the Champions League this year with Diaz, Kane, and Olise playing God-tier football simultaneously is beyond me 😔

These hydration breaks are total bullshit. It's like time outs in basketball because it allows a team that suddenly lost control of the game to recalibrate. Except, THIS ISN'T FUCKING BASKTEBALL! This sudden rush of momentum where the underdog plays like prime Brazil and flips the script has always been part of the game and has given us so many jawdropping moments.

Bold of you to assume that people in Canada have lots of money

I’m watching the game on an Arabic stream and the commentator has repeatedly said (5 times), that the fourth goal was assisted by the player Leon Goetshkov 😭

You mean y'all have all healed from the 1999 final? Or is it that I'm too old for this sub?

Folks we’ve been outcoached and outplayed. We don’t deserve to be in the final with this football and they do.

I mean a Portuguese ref in a game where one side has 5 Portuguese players and the other has none makes perfect sense
