People laughed cuz Ney was smiling after scoring his penalty…
He clearly thought they could make a comeback in the dying minutes of the game cuz that’s the kind of mentality he has.
And he was right..there was a moment in the last few mins where they could’ve equalised
Before 2010, Spain was an underachiever.
Alongside Netherlands, they were the face of underachievements in football.
Not sure whether you were active in global football discourse prior to 2010 but this was a consensus in football community.
The fact that they never got to WC final before 2010 actually supported the underachiever reference.
This was a country that hosts two of biggest clubs in global football. A country that produced some of the greatest footballers in history. From Di Stefano to Luis Suarez to Raul.
That they never got to WC final before 2010 buttresses my point, not counter it.
Yes, they were underachievers before 2010. This is a consensus.
The good thing about High IQ Women is they don't incompetently make mistakes that wreck your day.
The annoying thing about High IQ Women is that they're more difficult to manipulate.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
"When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man, it will exercise his mind with suffering, so as to stimulate his mind, harden his nature, and improve wherever he is incompetent."
— Mencius
Honoured to have served as the Referee for the opening match at the official commissioning of the Osun State University Sports Complex. It was a privilege to welcome the Governor, who performed the ceremonial kick-off, and to officiate in front of dignitaries on the big screen.
