They went into a pre-vent defense way too early

The only thing the Prevent Defense prevents is winning.

They started out like Churchill, and ended up like Starmer.

Argentina wins, will face Spain.

Imagine the electrical grid going down in Spain during the match with Argentina.

In April of 2025, the entire grid failed, leaving some areas without power for 12 hours. Electric trains stopped on their tracks. Elevators stopped.

Imagine this happening during the World Cup.

The riots would be something else.

If they had VAR in 1966 they would not have won.

Wait there is a 3rd place World Cup game? What kind of loser bull**** is that? That’s gotta be the most demoralizing game of all time— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) July 15, 2026

In the 1960s the NFL had “The Playoff Bowl”

And of course naturally....

The Lions also hold the dubious distinction of having the most victories in the Playoff Bowl, three, along with tying for the best winning percentage, 1.000.

LOL! Spot on.

England fans are calling for Tuchel’s head. I don’t blame them. Tuchel summoned his inner Southgate.

I was pulling hard for Argentina. The English pundits have been mocking the US squad’s performance against Belgium.

Also, the racist woketards have been whining because the Argentina team is too White. The tears of the left pleases me.

Milei defeated Starmer.

I always use my hockey-mind to watch soccer

The Brits left the points completely uncovered and collapsed into a defensive shell.
