@JohnMolinaro I don't think its so much the fall of the European empire as much as it is the rise of everyone else. European teams today have more non-european players than ever before and those that don't, struggle.
@Hockey_Is_All Receny bias makes it seem that way, but remember before 2022- it was consistent disappointment and losses to Germany, Romania, Holland, Group Stage, Germany x3 and France.
Many of us Albi hinchas have lived through decades of loss so enjoy this ride!
Most casuals can't understand the fact that there are no "bad" teams at this level and especially at this point of the tourney. Yes, ARG were favoured but there are no more "massive upsets" like 8+ years ago. Futbol is global and this is the evidence. Arriba Albi SIEMPRE.
Never want to hear Pulisics name in the same breath as any of the world class players of this great game. Btw, 🇺🇸 & 🇲🇽- despite our "inexperience" we all made it (only) to top 16.
@Mike_Leach1976 Exactly. This is why March's comments post game are out of sync with reality. Enough with the focus on "motivation" and lets ensure we do what is necessary to be better. First step- realizing what was done wrong today and admitting we were not good enough in the 2nd half.
Última fecha del mundial.
🇪🇨Ecuador obligado a ganarle a Alemania. 🇩🇪
🇺🇾 Uruguay obligado a ganarle a España.🇪🇸
No están preparados para la épica.
Lo lograremos, vamos SUDAMÉRICA.
Quiero pedir disculpas a toda la gente de Ecuador, a todos quienes viajaron desde tan lejos, y a quienes apoyaron a la selección desde el principio.
Sabemos la frustración que se siente, pero tenemos que seguir unidos como país.
No sean tan duros con sus mensajes y comentarios hacia los jugadores, ellos son los que más quieren darle alegrías al país.
Apoyemos a esta nueva generación.
Hay muchos cambios por hacer y mucho camino por recorrer.
World Cup atmosphere at BMO today for Ivory Coast vs. Germany- unreal vibes.
With that said, hydration break is the worst idea FIFA has come up with. I've said it before, but watching a game live, even more so. Enough with the money grab.
