World Cup 2026

[mongers]

Well that was 'entertaining', TF Argentina lost.

Highly amused by the amount of Spanish language singing* and crowd chants, trump and co had to sit through. 




* Did I miss something or does the Spanish national anthem not have words?

That'd correct.
There are Franco-connotated lyrics available, but not used for obvious reasons.

Yes that makes perfect sense and something I could probably have deduced if I'd spent a couple of minutes thinking about Spanish history.

For the Albiceleste fans here, the Argentinian players' reaction after the final whistle:

I didn't see that but at the end of the game I did see Otamendi getting really into a Spanish player's face (less aggressive than Paredes, but so's a pub brawl).

I wonder if Enzo Fernandes will post Wonderwall sarcastically on his Instagram today. Cunt.

Did not show on all channels.
Showed up on the RTBF for instance.

Other channels were too busy showing Trump and Infantino.

It was shown on the Canadian broadcaster feed, but well after the fact

I did enjoy the Chelsea fuck up on that - of all the fanbases to do that to Couldn't happen to a nicer club.

[Zoupa]

The Schadenfreude is delicious. 

[Threviel]

Fuck those Argie cunts, fuck them all.

Well deserved Spanish win, they were the superior team of the tournament. One statistic is that they had 10 shots on their goal the whole tournament. Masterclass.

A shame that they're only lesser cunts and disturbingly boring.

[Josquius]

Caught second half on last night. Seems I didn't miss much.
Bloody Argentina. Glad that the goodies won.

Watching highlights this morning my son remarks marc cucurella looks the same as Joe wicks

[HisMajestyBOB]

Yay Spain!
I enjoyed watching the match, but only because Spain won. If they'd lost, the match would have been excruciatingly bad.

Also, a shout-out to Switzerland and its broadcasters for not blocking VPNs from their streams. Much thanks!

Incidentally think it was Zoups who said defence normally wins tournaments. And I think Spain conceded only one goal (to Belgium) in all eight games which is very impressive.

The latest news from Spain is that it is being arranged that Yamal shall bathe 100 babies a week until the season begins so that in the future the power shall remain in red.

Fewest conceded goals by a champion in the history of the tournament.

Besides our controlling passing style, the defence+Rodri have been inmense.

[Richard Hakluyt]

I warmed a bit towards Wayne Rooney, who clearly cares about football as football. Also, when asked about the half-time show he said "I thought it was crap."

A Brit being dour?
