World class strikers against national level defenders, it’s not that spectacular.
Seeing how Argentinian players are allowed to make fouls all the time and get away with it is seems FIFA has allready decided they should win it again just like in 2022.
It was inevitable after the ol' rough 1vs1 man marking was abandoned in favour of fluid football, with higher defensive lines and the playing out from the back at all costs(tm) which can lead to very silly outcomes -- especially if the teams implementing it lack the elementary skills to pull it off. Also helps the fact that attacking players are generally more protected and shielded by modern rules/technology (i.e. long are the days since the absolutely brutal Gentile vs Maradona clashes )
Ivory Coast came short of facing San Marino, so whatever, but Germany got told.
The Equadorians just styled, excellent match for them.

I'm usually not a gambling man, but I put 20 on France and 20 on Japan.
I got a 91€ payout for France, a 820€ one for Japan.
While France (and yes, I hate myself for it) might be the winning one, those Nihon fucks might just also do it!
Solid bracket, team and, as always, with a bit of luck...
Anyway, I'm all for the Nibblas and Hentai teams

Germany out, netherlands out but what the fuck were those penalties? Germany whole 120 minutes was a stinker.
Shame that Japan lost very late goal against Brasil...
Don't really care that much about él fúsbol nowadays, to be honest. As for dipshit7, I think there's enough data from several games showing that when he's benched portulol plays better so...

We are fucked.
After Koeman decided he didn't need a midfield and fielded 5 defenders against Marocco's 1 attakcer, he retired after the most abysmal coaching performance in football history leaving the national side after not winning a single match against a top 25 ranked side during is run
So who has to be the new coach? Fans are thinking about Arne Slot or Peter Bosz.
No, it's rumored to be Micheal Reiziger. With zero experience as a head coach and the former assistant of Ronald Koeman and he was part of the staff that believed it was an execelent idea to field 5 defenders and no midfield against Marocco.
And off course this is gonna happen, cause somehow they appointed Nigel de Jong as director of Football at the football association (also without zero experience for the job and not looking classy with his tatoos comming out of his suit but he, capped footballer, you can't go wrong with that) and they were teammates once
Fucking Paraguay, playing a shitty, defensive and foul-based game complaining a clearly superior team won...
I hate teams like that: You're facing a real team, so you play the super defensive/opportunistic game that just counter-attacks if the opponents lose the ball in a key offensive manoeuvre.
And then go nuts with the fouls/simulation/running of the clock to, again, try and stall everything until the penalty phase where you can have a chance.
What a stale, lame, boring type of play.
Glad France got rid of them.
