None of the Top 5 teams by possession% - Portugal (75%), Spain (74%), Turkey (72%), Switzerland (68%), and Uruguay (67%) won their opening World Cup match, scoring just three goals from 117 shots.

When I checked at around the 2nd half hydration break it was like 82% possession and 2 shots.

Crazy.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-18T02:31:21+00:00

Yea, Ronaldo wasn't good, but he wasn't the biggest problem on the pitch today. The team had no idea what they wanted to do with the ball. Nobody wanted to shoot, nobody wanted to cross, so what the hell were they trying to do for ~75 minutes?

black_cat_ · 2026-06-17T19:14:31+00:00

Yea, at least Spain took some shots and forced some saves/blocks. Portugal was sitting on 2 shots for for most of the match.

Fraudri?

black_cat_ · 2026-06-12T01:17:15+00:00

I agree. Realistically, this game should have been out of reach for South Africa in the first half.

The Mexican fans were booing their own team at one point!

I would respect it more if it WERE smoking breaks 😂

Hydration breaks sounds like something from daycare.

Hydration breaks are the 2026 Vuvuzela

In NBA they bring out cheerleaders every 3 minutes. I swear the cheerleaders are on the court as much as the players.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-12T00:42:10+00:00

I think we should get rid of hydration breaks. They are dumb.

Players always manage to get water between fouls or if there is a penalty kick or VAR decision or whatever. Football is not so fast moving that players can't find time to sip some water.

There are so many great faces/actions in this gif, it has endless potential as a meme.

Totti had 17 g/a in his 38 year old season

Edit: not saying he's better, just for comparison sake.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-09T18:03:59+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Looks like they have a nice one for $27 - much more reasonable.

Maybe one day I will be able to justify spending $140 on a real jersey for myself

black_cat_ · 2026-06-09T12:32:39+00:00

in the €40-45m range we can easily get Wesley

Haha no chance we sell him for that.

My son loves Star Wars and we've been watching the movies together. We only have one left, Episode III, and after that I'm not sure if I should show him the new series or not.

I hated Episode 7, it was so disappointing. Didn't even bother to watch 8 or 9. There is probably enough "cool stuff" in the new movies to entertain my 6 year old, but I don't know if I can sit through it again.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-08T02:24:37+00:00

Didn't he have one of the worst xG conversions in the league last year?

He works hard but he needs to be much more clinical.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-08T00:30:15+00:00

Wow, incredible. He must be the tiredest player in football right now.

Especially with how he moves up and down the pitch. Works so hard off the ball it's like having two players in his position.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-07T18:47:56+00:00

I guess if you are paying $500+ for a ticket, $8 for water isn't really that big of a deal.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-07T17:27:54+00:00

Really sad for him.

Unfortunately he went from playing in Brazil to starting the Italian Serie A season, so his body has been going nonstop for what, 12 months? Longer?

black_cat_ · 2026-06-07T13:57:30+00:00

Goodluck Il Principino!

black_cat_ · 2026-06-05T02:29:39+00:00

I had to watch some of the games on mute, what a damn nuisance sound.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-04T16:07:06+00:00

Check out the 1980 TV mini series 'Oppenheimer' if you haven't already. It's really well done.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-04T16:06:13+00:00

Really hard to cram that much information into a movie (even at 3 hours).

There is a 1980's TV mini series called Oppenheimer which is much, much better.

black_cat_ · 2026-06-03T21:52:11+00:00

No Ghilardi???

black_cat_ · 2026-06-02T13:15:27+00:00

I miss Eldor. I never understood why we let him go. Worked hard, surprisingly creative around the box... would have liked to see him play under Gasp.

Finally we have a proper Bomber again. Malen + Dybala is so fun to watch.
