Down with Centrists, for we know not what they do. Pointing out the ridiculiculiculousness of life, incase you've stopped noticing it.

Yes, but had Mikkelei the FIFA referee given the corner kick just before the 3rd. goal, and had he given the freekick for the hand in the face on the outside edge of the box suddenly Sweden could've had a fighter's chance. But the ref snuffed it out.

[GiovanniLibero @JC396509365]

No. Anton was throwing defenders around at earlier corners kicks. It could be argued he attracted the referee's attention.

Deutschland schießt das 2: 1, aber angeblich Foulspiel gegenüber dem Torwart, was für miese Schauspieler, das Tor zählt nicht

VAR had to disallow that German goal. Keeper clearly impeded. Thing is had there been no block on the keeper the header probably went in anyway. Foolish from the German blocking the keeper.

Do you not think that they're stringing the fans along? You lose a 1v1 game this week, you get another chance next week. You get humbled/don't commit to your provincial championship, you get another go in 3 or 4 weeks. Provincial champions disadvantaged/run out of steam.

What other sport has reversed the trend and got better? You go to games now expecting them to be good rather than hoping they are.

It is unreal!

🚨 Sir Alex Ferguson on Brazil knocking Japan out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a thrilling 2–1 victory:

🗣️ “That is what champions do. They don’t always play perfect football, but when the pressure is at its highest, they find a way to win. Brazil were pushed to their absolute limit tonight, and Japan deserve enormous credit for making one of the greatest football nations fight for every single ball.”

“People will look at the result and simply say Brazil are through, but this match was much bigger than that. Japan showed courage, discipline and belief for almost the entire game. They never hid, they never gave up, and they made Brazil earn every inch of that victory. That’s the kind of performance that earns respect around the football world.”

“The difference in the end was experience. Brazil understood that knockout football is decided by moments, not long spells of possession or beautiful football. When the decisive opportunity arrived, they took it. That’s the mentality of teams who expect to win World Cups.”

“If I’m Brazil, I celebrate the qualification but I also know there is work to do. If they perform like this against even stronger opposition, they’ll have problems. If I’m Japan, I leave this tournament with my head held high because they’ve shown they belong among the best teams in world football. This was a defeat, but it was also a statement.”

Anton is leaning into him, then runs away as the ball comes in. This sort of thing has to stop.

VAR does exactly what it is designed to do. That is a clear foul on Paraguay's goalkeeper. Common sense prevails & nobody should be disputing it either.

Please tell me you're taking notes @premierleague @FA_PGMOL.

Question: “The woke community didn't like that some fans went to the games as Ruud Gullit and painted their faces black, what do you think?”

Nathan Aké: “I don't see a problem. Can I be honest here? These topics are getting out of hand, we should be allowing things like this to happen. Ruud Gullit already said he finds it an honor too. Let's stop making a problem out of things like this.”

Huge respect to Ake 👏

Now that we’re seeing extra time for the first time at this World Cup, I’d like to stand on my soapbox and preach about bringing back the Golden Goal.

And Starmer, despite being dumped on by his own MPs is determined to push this through? He's not a Labour Party politician, infact he's not even a politician.

So who and what is he?

New Labour is rushing its new National Security State Threats bill through parliament in just one day.

[GiovanniLibero @JC396509365]

At best for Germany it's obstruction on the goalie. Anton had been wrestling Paraguay defenders just minutes earlier at a corner so maybe this digging into a goalkeeper's space and not moving is not on anymore.

[Gavin Cooney @gcooney93]

A VAR decision to send shivers down the spines of set piece coaches everywhere

[GiovanniLibero @JC396509365]

From behind the goalline it looks like a foul on the keeper. But maybe the ref remembered Anton's fouling of Paraguayan defenders at another corner not long before and mentally blackmarked him.

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

Jalal Jayed, Moroccan referee that canceled Germany’s goal.

That was a very bold call.

Do you agree?

Bastian Schweinsteiger on Kai Havertz missing the decisive penalty as Germany were eliminated by Paraguay from the 2026 FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “At this level, there are no excuses. When you step up to take a penalty for Germany in a World Cup shootout, the entire nation is depending on you. That penalty simply wasn't good enough. It lacked conviction, belief and the ruthlessness these moments demand.”

“Havertz has to accept the criticism because these are the moments that define careers. The opportunity to keep Germany alive was in his hands, but instead he handed Paraguay the belief they needed. That is a painful reality he will have to live with.”

“I feel devastated for the German supporters. They travelled across the world believing this team could achieve something special, only to watch everything end from the penalty spot. Germany deserved much more composure in the biggest moment of the tournament.”

“Credit to Paraguay they held their nerve when it mattered most. Germany, unfortunately, did not. At the highest level, football can be unbelievably cruel, and one weak penalty is sometimes enough to send an entire nation home.”

“Havertz will remember that walk back from the penalty spot for the rest of his life. That's the brutal reality of the World Cup. Heroes are remembered forever, but so are the moments when the pressure proves too much.”

[GiovanniLibero @JC396509365]

Well I doubt he's going to be a candidate to get the job, given that every time I saw Nürnberg play last season they lost miserably.

Miroslav Klose on Germany trailing Paraguay at half-time in the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “I honestly cannot believe what I'm watching. This is one of the most disappointing Germany performances I've seen in a very long time. There is no urgency, no intensity and no personality. It's simply not good enough for a World Cup.”

“The players look completely lost. Passes are careless, the movement is poor, and they're making Paraguay look far more comfortable than they should. Wearing the Germany shirt demands far more responsibility than this.”

“The manager has to take responsibility as well. If your team walks onto the pitch looking this unprepared and lacking belief, then something has clearly gone wrong. Germany cannot keep playing like this and expect to survive.”

“If this performance continues in the second half, Germany deserve to be going home. The badge on that shirt means nothing unless the players are willing to fight for it.”
