The 2026 World Cup has been well below expectations. The quality of football has been poor, with too many teams playing overly defensive football. Watching a knockout match where one team barely leaves its own half isn’t entertaining. No wonder fans are turning to other sports.
La grandeza de Marcelo es inalcanzable.
No se quiere vender al fútbol cada vez más capitalizado. No le gustan las fotitos. Los gestitos. Las entrevistas innecesarias.
Hombre de fútbol. A LO LOCO SE VIVE MEJOR.
I will not tolerate the disrespect for Bielsa I am seeing on my timeline. He was our god at #LUFC and took League 1 level players to 9th in the Premier League… WHILE playing beautiful and passionate football.
Uruguay’s failure goes way beyond him.
💦 Marcelo Bielsa speaking 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 about the hydration breaks:
🗣️ Bielsa: "Playing matches in four quarters instead of two halves completely changes that cultural understanding we have of football."
This change of culture does not add anything and takes away a lot. I will just say that before this decision, football had a characteristic, now it has another.
People fall in love with the game because of its characteristics. Of course technology like VAR, we commend it and value it.
Technology offers more opportunities. There is another intention for the breaks and the conclusions I'm making here are not really my own. I also echo what I hear as well."
New Zealand scores again.
This is the first game at the World Cup with free flowing football and teams scoring freely.
Nothing like low block and shit, fast paced end to end football.
Europeans are going to wake up in the morning and assume this game was a crap 0-0. Reality is, it's been one of the most entertaining games of the World Cup so far.
