The USA 🇺🇸 has so much more speed than Paraguay 🇵🇾
I thought Paraguay would put on a better showing.

They really did!.... They looked like the fastest and Best Ball handling team from the USA in all the World Cups I have watched....Impressive win!....
Big 2-0 win for the US over Australia today. They are through to the next round, but not before the group stage finale vs Turkey on Thursday

Should rest guys and give others the experience they are going to need

Hopefully, Paraguay beats Turkey so that we can do that.
Early this morning, the US clinched the group after Paraguay defeated Turkey

I'm at MetLife rn for Norway/Sengal
Quote from: Crusader on Jun 22, 2026, 04:23 PMI'm at MetLife rn for Norway/Sengal
As good of a match as you could ask for as a neutral. Norway staved off a late surge from Senegal for a 3-2 win. It was a full house and 90% were for Norway. The Fest area at the horse track before the match looked liked the Norwegian embassy. And we dodged a sketchy forecast, the rain happened before the game and resumed after.
This WC has already broken the record for most attended WC ever. 3.6+ million fans & we're not even in the knockouts yet!
It is now official that the US will be playing Bosnia in the RD of 32 on July 1
Insane ending to Algeria/Austria, catch the highlights if you can
Germany was denied an OT winner due to goalie interference. Paraguay prevails in the shootout
Belgium scores twice in the final minutes to force OT vs Senegal
Quote from: Crusader on Jul 01, 2026, 03:00 PMBelgium scores twice in the final minutes to force OT vs Senegal
And they proceeded to win on a penalty, the latest goal in WC history. They play the winner of USA/Bosnia on Monday
The Stars and Stripes are moving on! But it will be w/o Balogun (It wouldn't be the WC wo a bogus call against the US)
All three host nations won their first knockout game. Which of them goes the farthest?

That ref was pretty bad all game
Heartbreak for Croatia! Their last minute equalizer was called off for offside. That will set up a QF battle bt the hosts of the next WC- Spain & Portugal
Argentina/ Cape Verde, I'm at a loss of words, incredible stuff. Almost the greatest upset in maybe sports history. Cape Verde tied Argentina twice, but fell just short in OT.

Great game. I think the whole world outside of Argentina was pulling for Cape Verde.

I know I was pulling for CV.
Dang. Morocco came to play!
Canada is the first host nation out of the tournament
Watching soccer sometimes is just unwatchable because of the flopping. Its so freaking annoying!!!!!

Totally agree!!.... Hard to become a full on Soccer fan with all the flopping, it's just ridiculous.... Makes it hard to watch the Non US games because I can only handle so much.... 🤣
A rough finish for the US, they fall 4-1 to Belgium. All three host nations fall in 3 successive days
Quote from: Crusader on Jul 06, 2026, 07:03 PMA rough finish for the US, they fall 4-1 to Belgium. All three host nations fall in 3 successive days
Too many mistakes for the US, they looked nervous and not ready to play....
Choke of the Century by Egypt, 2-0 to 2-3 over the last 15 mins. Africa should've had 3 teams in the QF
Quote from: TheOC89 on Jul 07, 2026, 06:46 AMToo many mistakes for the US, they looked nervous and not ready to play....
Yes. Played a superior opponent and really needed to play a flawless game to compete. But it was very evident early on they were headed for a long night. The US just looked off. Reality was the Netherlands were quicker, more polished and not caught up in the moment. They just did their thing and executed. The better team won.
They looked like they were still playing the game from over a month ago when they lost 5-2 to Belgium
The Final 4 are the Top 4 in the FIFA rankings. Disappointing.
Tue 3pm: France vs Spain, Arlington
Wed 3pm: England vs Argentina, Atlanta
I got England and France in the Final with France winning

So much for that. Spain took it 2 nil

Can't win um all

Spain has seemed to be on Quite a roll in the WC!!.... Would luv to see a Spain vs England Matchup!.... But I know everyone wants Messi!!... 🤣
Argentina once again pulled victory from the jaws of defeat. They will play Spain for the title on Sunday
England is wrecking France, 4-0 near the end of the first half
A match for the ages! 6-4 England, an exhilarating experience! Both teams had a 4 goal half, both teams scored in injury time, Mbappe became the WC's all time leading scorer (though Messi has a chance to counter tomorrow) & there was even a penalty, what more could a man want! Any other round, this game may have gone down as the greatest ever, but at the end of the day, it was just meaningless match for third. A lot of people won't remember this match, but I sure will!

That was probably my favorite match of the tourney. I didn't think anyone could top Argentina vs. Egypt - Argentina vs. England but that takes the cake
Spain prevails in OT. They've got themselves a dynasty as they won the Euro too. They outshot Argentina by a margin of like 20-2, their goalie single-handedly keeping them in it, but the dam had to break eventually
