He could have identified as a tree, for the purposes of this game he's Austrian and they must atone for him :lol:

Also, penalty? Not watching the game so was it legit or is FIFA going for a repeat?

Quote from: Duque de Bragança on June 22, 2026, 12:11:10 PMHitler identified as German, Austria did not exist or rather should not exist according to him.

Being German and Austrian were not contradictory in those days. I think there was even a saying that the only Austrian was the Emperor himself right?

According to Hitler, contradictory, but yes Ständestaat Austria claimed to be German or even the better Germany.
Deutsches Österreich (German Austria) as a name was banned by the Entente, after the war.

Referee is quite... liberal in his interpretation in what is a foul or not.  :hmm:

If Argentina was really a libertarian state there would be no referees and they would let the free market decide what is a foul.

Argentina dominated, though Austria did what she could to complicate the Argentine game plans.

I said liberal, not libertarian nor classic liberal! :P
Could they get a referee with a chainsaw though?  :hmm:

2-0 for Argentina
A bit sad for Austria, attacking till the end and getting caught in a counter, with deflections.
Messi again, of course.

Apparently South Americans are giving Argentina the South African treatment?

That's always the way - years since I was in South America but when I mentioned I was going to Argentina or had just come from Argentina, unprompted people would complain about how racist they are (and there's been a few really bad incidents with Argentine tourists recently in Brazil).

Extraordinary performance again though - wild that Messi seems to be getting better with age in this type of tournament.
Let's bomb Russia!

I knew Brazilians didn't like Argentina (for obvious reasons) but didn't realize in was a pan South American thing.

Very pleased to see Mo Salah score in this world cup, he deserves a good high point to end his career on.*

The complacency I feared Norway was suffering from was not there. 3-2 is a good result, and we're through before the last match. Coach Solbakken says players will be rested against France.
