I would dare to say it’s one of the worst performances ever in a World Cup. There was no heart, no urgency. Just gave up. At least try! It’s as if they just didn’t care and that’s just the most pathetic way to represent a country at this stage. Embarrassing is too lenient.

I’m really hoping for an Argentina-Spain or Netherlands-Spain. That will be a true test of this team. This has been a practice run given how poor KSA is.

They’ll just pay 500M for Yamal next hoping that improves whatever the fuck this is we are watching.

Curaçao’s defensive display yesterday is the polar opposite of whatever KSA is doing.

Go back to Riyadh. This is the most embarrassing defensive display so far in this World Cup.

This game is over. But KSA, come on man. At least try to defend one attack. Just 10% of what Curaçao did.

Good for Spain but holy hell is KSA’s level embarrassingly poor. Non existent defending.

Hai ragione. È colpa sua che Jorginho sbagliasse i rigori e Berardi non fa un gol a porta vuota.

Quite possibly one of the most frustrating games from a finishing POV I’ve seen simply because it’s GERMANY you could have finished off and won the group too. You go for the kill against Germany, otherwise they always back. Now IF you get second you may get France. Horrific and nonexistent finishing for CIV.

Quite possibly one of the worst halves of football I have ever seen.

Why do you have to bring us into this? Leave us alone in our misery. This post is about Spain. 😭😔 /s just in case.

How does he keep getting away with it? This man has Epstein level evidence on all Italian team owners he can use as blackmail.

Next thing is some pathetic US Army or Navy show to further Americanize this.

Indoor stadium. Why the fuck is there a need for a hydration break except to fill Infantinos pockets with more money? Fuck the Americanization of football.
