    It was the Spursiest thing a Spur could Spur.

    England had the opportunities to win this game, even without the penalties. Berhal…I mean Southgate made mistakes with the subs. I don’t have a problem with the starting 11. But how is Sterling, who just flew around the world twice and hadn’t played, and Mount (who’s been terrible for months) the first offensive subs off the bench? How do you not bring Rashford on until the 85th? They had done so well to contain Mbappe and keep the game winnable. But to leave your hottest player on the bench until the very end was a massive mistake. Saka was playing well but Foden wasn’t. Really should’ve been a halftime or 50th-ish minute move to Rashford. I’d bet things would’ve been different had he made that move before Sterling and Mount.

    I’m not pulling for anything in particular going forward. Id like to see a new team added to the list of World Cup winners…but mostly I just want a good football match. I don’t want to see a super negative dirty s***show in the final.

    Tunisia absolutely plays the same All Defense and one or two punch upfront kind of style without the same class as Morocco.

    France B Squad lost to them.

    However, I do believe Mbappe, Griezmann, Rabiot and Giroud will create chances.

    Argentina is destined to face a hard fought battle.

    Holy crap, that Álvarez goal was one of the best I've ever seen. Maradona-esque!

    Croatia exposed now. Since they can't play negative football tactics parking the bus all game their defense will get exposed, I see Argentina grabbing at least another goal, maybe 2.

    C Ronaldo is crying about his legacy in regards to Messi right now. Feel bad for the guy.

    Giving up a counter from a corner is a brutal way to lose

    Frankly, they're lucky it wasn't 3-0 at the half.

    Everything Argentina did on that...from the header to Messi's touch forward to the run by Alvarez to the finish...was brilliant.
