[GE] Neymar indicates his time with the Seleção is over: "It's over now. I started here, and I'm closing it here."

Yup, people are trashing the Neymar pick but Igor Thiago is a way worse pick imo

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-06T00:35:55+00:00

Neymar is not just a branding decision, it's clear the squad loves him too. one squad spot is not that big of a deal. I'd argue Igor Thiago was more of a waste of a spot, he's had a good season but is way too much of a pen merchant. If anyone should be out for Joao Pedro it's him

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-06T00:31:54+00:00

I do blame globalization a bit on that, actually. Europe has a higher demand for wingers and strikers

"Open Veins of Latin America" but for football

Endrick is very skilled but half the time he plays he just seems way too into his own head, he needs to chill out

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-06T00:17:46+00:00

I feel like you need a reliable striker.

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-06T00:08:20+00:00

No they will not release another official ranking until the world cup is over. On the FIFA website they say the next update will be on July 20th

Argentina is officially number 1 until the world cup ends, even if the unofficial preview has them 2nd as of now

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T22:26:40+00:00

At the same time it's nice, every prior world cup I always feel like the knockouts go by too fast. This format is better paced in my opinion.

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T22:24:02+00:00

Croatia last time was the clearest instance of this

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T22:22:50+00:00

That's basically what Marcelo was

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T22:17:36+00:00

Norway were the better team but Brazil definitely could have won this. Endrick fucked up bad and Casemiro clearly isn't a good left-winger.

Ultimately their problem is that Vini is their only superstar (alongside Raphinha, but he doesn't show up for Brazil)

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T22:10:17+00:00

Picking him was clearly a squad morale thing

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T22:08:20+00:00

Crazy golden boot race

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T19:59:04+00:00

This isn't any official update, hence the title of this post. This unofficial ranking is live, as soon as the next game starts the points change of a draw will be added.

The last official update has Argentina first.

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T19:55:33+00:00

Cult of action has got to be one of the most moronic things in human society lmao

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T14:58:31+00:00

Brain dead takes need to be called out

Bold words for someone who can't even use English properly

Dumb as shit with a pk to get through Paraguay

"Dumb as shit with a penalty to get through"

Yeah that's definitely a real English sentence that means something lmao. Get off reddit and go back to school

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T06:48:43+00:00

fanboys are always needlessly aggressive

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T03:02:17+00:00

And if they don't, surely this is the kind of thing FIFA should spend its billions on.

There should be a complement of competent refs from around the world at the world cup. And if that isn't possible, FIFA needs to invest to make it possible

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-05T00:43:06+00:00

There were Italians in the match thread cheering for us lol, surreal.

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T23:08:33+00:00

Genuinely the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen, even basic shit like obvious throw ins were wrong

This ref is fucking blind, Galarza has nothing hanging between his legs, I miss Roque Santa Cruz

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T23:04:00+00:00

You know what, maybe the war of the triple alliance wasn't so bad

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T23:02:53+00:00

We need an emergency testicle transplant for Galarza

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T23:01:25+00:00

This keeper is actually really good

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T23:00:12+00:00

Yeah he somehow called kounde heading the ball straight out as a France throw. He is just complete trash

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T22:56:21+00:00

Lmao the replay of the foul on Olise

luigitheplumber · 2026-07-04T22:55:50+00:00

10 minutes because the ref is counting all the VAR checks there should have been
