FIFA World Cup 2026

The Spanish midfielders are managing to ensnare France.
Their four musketeers are running dry without ball.
 
And of course France are putting out a shocking performance

Seems they were believing their own hype

Spain have played well
 
Deschamps is being completely outplayed.
I can't understand as anyone can see that France can't hold the ball and somehow expect to even contemplate the possibility of scoring.

Spain was a bit lucky with the penalty and calls, but they deserved the win today.

They shut France’s offense down, and that is not easy. Hats off to their coach, he had a better plan, and Deschamps had no answer.

He has the best players and knows how to put them to work, but he can’t think on his feet. He saw what was happening and just couldn’t figure out how to respond. Tough job.
 
I asked Siri ""VAR" refers to what in soccer?" She didn't answer me, or even wimp out with "Izzit okay if I ask ChatGPT? That's too hard!"
Is it "video-assisted replay", or something else?

Yeah, this one surprised me. Ousmane Dembele won the Golden Ball last year but was nearly invisible in this match, France didn’t hold onto the ball and got outplayed. Well done to the Spanish coach and their team. Would love to see an England v Spain final but I think England are underdogs against Argentina.

They’d be fine against Argentina. But Argentina and FIFA? Gonna be a tough one.

Amazing run from the French. I truly believed they will reach the final, can still be proud of what they did. Mbappe really is my favorite player, I like how he stands up and refuses to do gambling ads

Also I am finding it amusing how many Apple devices you can spot by the staff. iPhones, iPads and even MacBooks. I am assuming VAR is on Windows desktops (I know monitors are HiSense due to giant banners in the VAR room). I wonder what the team staffers have on the macbooks?
 
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and 🇦🇷 have a history 💥

I’ve seen a few very good clips, but none of them worked here, so you have to track them yourself if interested, sorry 🙁

Indeed. But goaline technology is good enough that there would no longer be a debate over the 1966 goal!

Or Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany.

Today's game is going to be extremely fascinating. I think England is due to get one over on Argentina, but I'm sure something unusual will occur — it always does when those two teams line up.
