The Athletic's downfall from a sort of ok sports mag to a literal rag has been very disappointing.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

The fundamental quality required when building a World Cup-winning side is a group of top-level footballers.

No one has ever won this competition without several world-class players in their starting XI.

Equally, there are numerous examples of teams who have failed despite all the talent they could hope for, and teams who punch above their weight through cohesion and mutual understanding.

All this is fairly obvious, but never before in World Cup history has there been a final between two teams at obviously opposite ends of the spectrum.

Other World Cup finals have been billed as Johan Cruyff vs Franz Beckenbauer (1974), Roberto Baggio vs Romario (1994) or Lionel Messi vs Kylian Mbappe (2022).

But this is more of a hybrid: it’s Spain vs Messi.

what a stupid, shallow way to read all of this

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

one thing i didn't quite appreciate until reading about it more is how much maradona fandom was based on the racialization of southern italians as the "dark south" defeating "the white north"

Bir sebeple 60-70'lerdeki milliyetçi dergilere göz atıyorum. Ve şok içindeyim. Açık açık Hitler'i, Nazizm'i öven yazılar var bazı dergilerde. 1940'lar değil; 1970.

@TheStalwart My league team hasn't won in nearly 15 years after being very dominant for nearly 100 years. We are getting dog walked by our much more successful rivals every year, both in derbies and in the league. Whenever there's any glimmer of hope my life is 10 times better

That was a Netherlands side worse than the one now and they lapped around the US team

[Matthew Doyle @MattDoyle76]

A younger USMNT played a better Netherlands side closer and tougher than this four years ago, and did so halfway around the world.

Wonder what the biggest difference was. Any ideas?

Thanks for the input Joseph

Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?

Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

@elaifresh @grapesmoker You should see one of those cross section photos of the ball. Insane what they were able to fit in it

@ThatchEffendi Sarah's dad owns the shop, no?

@elaifresh This is a stupid application that has been pretty consistent in the last couple of years. Tyler Adams got one in a CL game with Juve against Gala. It's because he transferred all his weight onto the ankle and that's considered "reckless". Unlucky but also sloppy by Balogun

This mf is hilarious

Bu demektir ki bizim çocuklar zındık ve kendine güveni az. Şimdi biraz da olsa kanım ısındı bizim takıma

Milli takım hakkında yaptığım Fenerbahçeleşme şakalarını geri alıyorum. Fenerim ilk iki maçı hasbelkader kazanıp Amerika'nın şamar oğlanı olur, paşa paşa ikinci olurdu
