Spain are kind of boring but man are they exceptional. Beating Portugal, Belgium, France, & Argentina in the knockout rounds while only conceding a single goal is extremely impressive.

FERRAN TORRESSSSSSS YOU HAVE BEEN SHIT ALL WORLD CUP BUT THAT IS BEAUTIFUL 🤩

[ryan from the square @ryanftsquare14]

I fear where this is going for Spain…

Hydration breaks to sneak in a couple more commercials, Infantino pandering to Trump’s every whim, the camera panning to every B-List celebrity in the crowd every 5 minutes, championship rings, a halftime show during the World Cup Final…I just want my sport back.

Nooooooooo Licha 😢😢😢

Hard to argue that signing Lewandowski wasn’t about jersey and ticket sales, especially when the Chicago Fire sold Cuypers at a loss.

Lewy is about to be 38. Cuypers has 13 goals in 11 matches. Never let this club try to tell you they care about winning.

💣🇧🇪 BREAKING: CF Monterrey is finalizing a deal to sign MLS Golden Boot leader Hugo Cuypers from the Chicago Fire, per sources.

Monterrey will pay $7.5m fee + $500k in add-ons.

I’m sorry but we can never get rid of the 3rd place match after this.

[ryan from the square @ryanftsquare14]

4-0. Most dangerous lead in football.

My favorite personal achievement this World Cup is that I’ve managed to avoid watching a single second of After Hours with James Corden

[ryan from the square @ryanftsquare14]

@UchaayI High ceilings are always a lovely thing to point at when clubs pay ridiculous prices but do we think this guy has the potential to be one of the best players in the world? He should be for that kind of fee and I don’t see it. He’s a good player but the fee makes it a bad deal.

[ryan from the square @ryanftsquare14]

Nice player but what an incredibly reckless deal. 18 goals in the past 2 seasons and basically cost Chelsea double what United paid for Cunha (who is a better player imo).

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea reach verbal agreement with Aston Villa to sign Morgan Rogers⁠. Bid of £117m accepted by #AVFC & being finalised. 6+1y contract, medical Monday⁠. #AFC interested but 23yo attacker wanted #CFC; Xabi Alonso instrumental @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/81YbZw7ELc

Commentators love to lie. Got some guy on national TV telling me this Argentina side that struggled with Cabo Verde & Egypt before needing some Tuchel terrorism and a low block to beat England has been the best side at this World Cup alongside Spain.

Only took an embarrassing thrashing from Belgium in a World Cup on home soil for US Soccer to make common sense changes.

The lack of access to high level youth soccer in this country has always been embarrassing (and so has US Soccer).

[USMNT Only @usmntonly]

U.S. Soccer is exploring a complete overhaul of the youth soccer system amid renewed scrutiny of pay-to-play following the USMNT's Round of 16 World Cup exit — with the goal of making the game more accessible and affordable 🇺🇸⚽️

U.S. Soccer COO Dan Helfrich: “We are not seeking to make the current system more affordable. We’re trying to create a new system that then we make highly affordable. It’s a really important distinction.”

Arsène Wenger, speaking alongside Helfrich at U.S. Soccer’s headquarters outside Atlanta: “From outside, I felt that people from a poor background had no access to the game. That is quite a big part of the population that usually in Europe, the best football players come from poor backgrounds. We want maybe a job to do as well to make it possible and available for everybody and after to be consistent because it’s not a short-term fix.”

The discussion centered on how the federation can continue growing the sport after what U.S. Soccer CEO JT Batson called an “incredibly successful” World Cup that “has fundamentally changed the trajectory of the sport in the United States.”

Football’s not coming home guys

Our new home kit is really nice Manzambi pal

[ryan from the square @ryanftsquare14]

I’ll forgive Spain for being boring so long as they beat Argentina or England in the final
