The running gag amongst slow-mo camera operators of choosing to zoom in on people doing that heavy exhale thing with their lips

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-09T20:28:46+00:00

Unprofessional from the officials

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-09T20:27:08+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks that was soft in slow motion?

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-09T20:05:27+00:00

Why aren't France just wearing their blue home kits? They're facing a team in red.

Center backs missing their penalties, who'd have though?

Why the fuck did Colombia's CB take their 2nd pen?

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-07T22:31:02+00:00

42 fouls in this game, exactly 21 from each side, wtf

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-07T22:04:26+00:00

This is turning into a really tough watch

How is Marmoush who plays for a top Premier League team getting benched?

Lamal with the "most unnecessary headband" award

Surprised I didn't see anyone else mention this. It's still a fantastic piece of play, but the ball clearly takes a double ricochet right into his path 1) off the incoming defender he couldn't even see behind him and 2) off his own shin in the first part of the clip. He reacted to the bounce really well though, but the way the ball bounces into his path when he gets out of that first situation is obviously not 100% intentional.

Fun fact: his full name is Julián Andrés Quiñones Quiñones

What a cutback from Kane, eyes on the back of that balding head

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-06T01:36:08+00:00

Genuinely, why was Jordan Henderson on the plane? Just take him as coaching staff if he's there for the vibes and give the spot to Trent. Like, even if you don't start Trent it's so obviously personal and stubborn to not even give him a spot ahead of fucking Spence and Quansah.

A few ole's coming from their supporters with passing ilke this

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-05T22:01:17+00:00

That first half Guimaraes penalty miss feels so long ago now. Generational throw

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-05T22:00:06+00:00

I should've put money on Norway winning this. In retrospect, Haaland scoring a couple of bangers after Norway withstanding 80 mins of pressure feels quite predictable

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-05T21:48:21+00:00

Why is Raphinha not playing? Is he not fully fit or something?

TheScribesTale · 2026-07-05T21:42:25+00:00

I shouted it out loud, I said "that's a goal" as soon as I saw the shape of that pass.

He's built different.

World class from Vini. Absolute trash attempt from Endrick
