And England.....I don't even have the desire to mock them, today was the most "England" day for England among all the Englands and days.
That's precisely my point, it is not like England played bad on the Euros or 2018 either, far from it, but they keep dying on the line without being able to consolidate and yesterday was another situation like this. This England was the best I've seen play in my lifetime.I actually disagree with this entirely, as an England fan. It's only because of a penalty miss that there's even a hint of that sort of vibe.
But unlike most of our WC exits, we actually played well and didn't leave the tournament with a rubbish performance. The fine margins went against us, and against the best team in the world, there's no shame in that.
Even the reaction at home - which has historically been toxic as fuck after a loss - seems a lot more conciliatory than usual. It feels like most recognise that we gave a good account of ourselves, but just fell short.
Of course, I have stayed off Twitter and Reddit in the main, so maybe that colours my perception.
Did anyone actually thought giving Argentina the penalty was the right call?
The general take has always been that he's a very shy, very simple guy. Someone who only ever really felt at home playing football.What’s the story on Messi, as a person? As an American fan, I only hear “player of a generation” etc etc.
Please explain?wtf racism won
There was tons of racists tweets and comments against the French players in the days leading up to the match and during the match (I invite you to type « n*gro di merdia » in the Twitter research bar) and we also got plenty of vids of Argentina fans chanting racist stuff like thatPlease explain?

Not a regular viewer nor has the media done much coverage on this (from outlets I peruse). This is nit a bad faith question.But this is not new. This is ALWAYS with Argentinian fans (and sometime even players) and not only against France but against every country and in every world cup that i have memory of. So even asking to explain it seems done in bad faith.
Anyway, evil won yesterday...it had to be during the most dark and perverse World Cup in modern times too.

I did hear the chant and ohh lord... yes It sucks, and the stuff they were saying were along the lines that french were now a "bunch of black africans from angola and no longer french", and I was thinking, you know what this is true, but this is due to immigration policies the french goverment, implemented, and now they are reaping the rewards. Fifa has no rule against this and it shouldn't.But this is not new.

They also invested the money and now France is powerful country when it comes to soccer, the funny part is that their league sucks compared to La Liga, Premier League, and Bundesliga.
I guess Argentineans are butt hurt because no one wants to immigrate to their country. Their economy sucks and any Argentinean player that is able to do it will go to Europe where the money is.
Then finally you have Mbappe saying that south America soccer is way behind European soccer.
This is for me just everyone is throwing shots at everyone.
There is no evil one. These guys will throw shit at each other in and outside the court to destabilize their counterparts. It's like that basketball movie from Adam Sandler called hustle.
I live in a border town with the US and whenever we play soccer betweeen US/Mexican players they will also throw shit even if both side have the same last names such as Perez, Martinez or Garcia.
Saying shit like this is part of the game. Now it is a total different topic if it's a correct thing to do or not. It just happens, if you have played a game on any sport and things get heat up stupidity will be bound to happen.
Now this is just a point of view, so please don't kill, this is how I see the world from my small bubble.
