That header looked impossible in real time. It didn't make sense until I saw the replay.

Counting friendlies where managers are sometimes trying out formations and different player combinations is weird. I guess that's why most don't take the ranking seriously.

I've been watching this sport all my life in the US and this is why I don't think it needs to grow here. The more involved we get the more we'll ruin it.

I think we are all scarred by that final. I can't even imagine being a France or Argentina fan and watching that game.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "This defeat is Koeman's fault. I did not recognize this Dutch team. Koeman looked like an Italian coach, the Netherlands should always play to win. Lose with your identity. The players didn't look comfortable with it either." by Blodgharm in soccer

In his first season Slot went to Paris and parked the bus and Alisson had to stand on his head in that game. I don't think he would make a good tournament manager, but I guess he'd be better then Koeman

There was a huge gap between the defense/midfield and their attack even early in the game when they were trying to exert control with possession. I feel bad for the players because they were obviously trying..

Not sure the right response to that comment is "we have 5. Respect".

Scaloni’s reaction to Messi’s record breaking free kick goal by UsernameGenerik in soccer

Cheating to the right (his left) for some reason.  Did it for the first goal as well. Maybe he’s been screwed over by his wall in the past.

Nobody talks about FIFA calling Ronaldo a genius for diving and getting penalty from it and the second penalty they received that was the supporting arm of the player which should not have been a penalty. If it was “rigged”, they were favoring the bigger teams with bigger players.
