Good memories of 2016.
Well, the overtime . Specially, the last minutes. :P


They get Spain next if they take out croatia.  If they had won then it was have been Argentina in the quarterfinals.. if they got that far.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Yep, Ghana instead of Croatia in the round of 32.
Winning? :lol: Diogo Costa saved the tie, many times.

So Martinez was just saving portugal from having to face Argentina  :ph34r:

It's Uruguay, not Iran, so ICE could not intervene to provide free transportation to the homeland :P

A bunch of brown people with a lapsed work visa and no return ticket. What's the worst that can happen in Trump's America? :ph34r:

Austria made it to the next round by scoring the equalizing 3-3 against Algeria in injury time.

Their opponents in the next round - Spain. :D

Quote from: Sheilbh on June 27, 2026, 08:29:24 PMBest 0-0 I've seen in a long time :lol:

I agree completely.  What a great game

On the knockout round, the best Canada can hope for is winning two games and then have a glorious loss to France.

Awarded 17 Zoupa points

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Edit: Spoke too soon :lol: But still feel for them.
Their loss eliminated Korea.

Folks here are going to eat the coach alive. They expected to make the round of 16 at least. On paper this was definitely their best world cup team ever.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Seems par for the course, following a high-grade Gijón game vs Algeria, no less. :P

Just saw the first Algerian goal... that had to be the weirdest series of events I've seen in a WC game  :lmfao:

Entertaining game so far. Both teams trying to score. Canada got very close with a miffed header.

The Canadians should try to switch the ball to the wings a bit more often. South Africa is compact in the middle.

HVC

Is the crowd booing the SA goalie holding the ball, or because canada is not rushing the goalie?
