usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Right?
demosteness
Spain got scored a single goal in the whole World Cup finals, eight matches. You can be proud Belgium.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
For real? They went X - 0 for every game except Belgium? That's actually impressive. not bad, waffle-lovers.
crateo
That's like the best record ever, and in 8 matches, one more that other world cups.
demosteness
For real. It’s not only that they’re good at defending, it’s the way they play, owning the ball, huge possession, then pressing after losing the ball. Rivals go chasing shadows the whole match.
hwatL4bloopy
I started referring to the Argentinian goalkeeper as the new hand of God.
Resistance1000
I hoped Belgium or Iran would win the World Cup so tRump either had to hand them the trophy or TACO with a bullshit excuse. And Belgium would've done the Epstein Shuffle right in front of him, too.

Unai Simon with the best seat in the house
WillemHellfire
Gotta hand it to the Spanish. They played a good game and honorable mention to Argentina's goalkeeper. He did his level best until he couldn't.
elmesito
That was Spiderman disguise. He was the best player on the pitch for the first 90 minutes.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Are they seriously gonna end the world cup on penalties?
MelfsAcidArrow
No

Wow, Unai Simon got really tanned since I saw the game just a little while go.. he must have been sipping his tea on a tanning bed

I keep forgetting there is some soccer thing going on.

Easy to do with WSOP going on.

Understandable. They've made it sure to make it as unmemorable as possible.

I tried it too.
TheVillageGrouch9000
Football actually. We dopey Americans misnamed gridiron "football" football.
Thorketil
In the USA, they play football with their hands and soccer with their feet. Weird.
TheVillageGrouch9000
That is why we misnamed it. It is uniquely American. "Beat the shit out of the other guy and take their land!" - George Carlin. Quite a history of that here and we are not done yet.
DeepFriedAndSanctified
Not anymore! Four more years of peace.
thotterpop
Be got the golden glove... I didn't keep track of goalie stats, but i have a feeling he just got it for being on the winning team
Thorketil
A good goalkeeper doesn't need to pick the ball out of his net. Conceding only one goal in the entire competition justifies the price.
TimmyTimm
If I am not mistaken (from memory, so check me), he gave up 0 goals in all WC games but one.
thotterpop
Indeed. Do they also look at shots on goal to make that determination? Say, for the sake of stats, the defense was so good that he only had to block 4 shots and allowed 1, where another team with a worse defense has a goalie that allowed 5 goals, but blocked 45 shots in the entire tournament... 80% block rate vs 90% block rate, if that is even the name for that stat.
swedeonamoose
If Argentina wins on penalties now i am gonna be soooo mad, would be so unfair considering how the game has been.
cousteau
Considering the screams I've been hearing outside, sounds less likely.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Why would that be unfair?
zubb999
Because Spain played much better than Argentina pretty much that whole game. PK's really go down to how good of a goalie you've got on your team, which Argentina goalie is better. Argentina would've most likely won PKs while playing a terrible game the 120 minutes before PKs. Spain truly earned that win with 20 shots vs Argentina's 1.
EveryGOPAccusationIsActuallyAnAdmission
The only thing I appreciated about Argentina this cup was the quality of their keeper. He was playing with a broken finger and still was insane. The only reason Argentina didn't get annihilated, other than the refs, was that the keeper kept them in it. He needs a medal for his efforts.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
But if it's tied then the one team played good enough to force it to that shootout.
shitheadtookmyname
If it's 0-0 then surely it's ridiculous to say one team has played worse
Sebastopol140
Spain scored... so maybe not.

I normally don't give a fuck about the World Cup, but I needed Spain to win.
1. My Iberian blood compels me, and
2. Messi simps for Israel and I love the image of that wall-kisser kissing dirt.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
NOTE: I fucked up. Messi only seems to have gone to Israel for work. And while he did go to the Western Wall, he also went to the West Bank. ANd his trip to the Western Wall may have simply been because it's also considered a holy site in Christianity, and Messi is Catholic.
Also, someone explained to me that the wall-kisser comment can come off as anti-Semitic and want to apologize for that. It was insensitive and that is not how I meant it. I meant no disrespect to the holy Jewish tradition.
AgainstMethod
That wall kisser comment is anti-Semitic, bro.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
How so?
RexRexroththe1st
It's not, he's just trying to hold on to the thankfully fading guild trip.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Nah, they gave a pretty good explanation as to why, I think.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
For the record, I am genuinely asking. I want to properly hate Israel without being anti-Semitic. I don't want to give people a false impression of who I am, and I know mistakes can happen. So how exactly is my comment anti-Semitic and what can I change going forward?
AgainstMethod
Sure, didn't mean it as a personal dig at you and maybe it's just a slur against religion in general for you. Kissing the Western Wall is a profound religious ritual. You're expressing contempt and ill will towards someone for their faith. If you go about "hating Israel" by hating people for their religion... That's just what "anti-Semitism" means.
RexRexroththe1st
How do you measure the profoundness? All you see is the performance.
AgainstMethod
Just because I can't measure something doesn't mean it's not there.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Ah. Yeah, that makes sense. My personal experience with it is mostly when I see politicians go to Israel and they make a big show of it, as if showing loyalty towards Israel. But you're right; the ritual isn't itself Israeli, even if Israel may use it as such. It's a Jewish tradition and I shouldn't forget it.
demosteness
Messi…. What?? First news for me.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Yup. He's gone 4 times.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Da3PFZYjvhT/
Thorketil
So he only went there to play football?
hullabanana
What a simp… going where he’s told to go…
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Can you please point to the rule in football where players have to kiss the Western Wall in Jerusalem? The way people will defend people just for being good at a sport is pathetic.
https://forward.com/fast-forward/181701/barcelona-soccer-star-lionel-messi-visits-western/
shitheadtookmyname
??? The Western wall is a holy site for Christians. It's natural for a Catholic like Messi to visit and kiss the wall. It's the retaining wall for the Temple on the Mount, buddy. It's kind of a big fucking deal.
Thorketil
Well, FC Barcelona is on a peace tour in 2013, meeting with Palestinians in the West Bank, supporting Israeli and Palestinian children playing football together, and visiting Jerusalem and the Western Wall. On a peace tour, it's considered good form to familiarize oneself with the customs and traditions of the host country. Please don't overdo it.

Handing over the trophy to Spain is going to be painful for Trump. Hahaha

And he's gonna bloat these dam mexican speaking Mexicans won!!!

Why tf is he involved?

He would have made some calls to get Iran disqualified.

Sadly not a fake photo:
Kigliwoth
They tried to get him out of the photo but the dumbass just stayed there.. Being booed at, in a wrong place, 0 situational awareness. Just look at the photo :D. They had to edit him out later.
Thorketil
"A winner's photo? Sure. I don't mind if the Spanish team is in it too."
bril350
This is prime edit material. Replace trump with literally anyone else
Fendeezy
Eh, based off the look of it, seems like Trump did a Trump thing and ingratiated himself into the photo, awkwardly standing on the side.
SgtDefaultGN
That’s right. A handler shuffled him out of the frame shortly after this
lalalalsblablabal
Infantino moved him.
TheVillageGrouch9000
So out of place. Did he get booed? An easy edit out if needed. Congratulations Spain!
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
I'm ashamed to say he got a lot of hate. Ashamed because imo it was not nearly enough, he deserves so much more hate!
TheVillageGrouch9000
I reckon some (many?) are afraid of being spotted with cameras everywhere.
EveryGOPAccusationIsActuallyAnAdmission
He got booed every time he was involved
TheVillageGrouch9000
I just listened to several videos. They vary depending on where the recording device was. He knows he is hated. Makes appearances out of spite. Hateful quasi-human.
lalalalsblablabal
As predicted. Spanish players only briefly greeted him. Went straight to share warm greetings with Spanish king and Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez.
eetsumkaus
statistically speaking though 1 or 2 of those guys liked him
Kigliwoth
Nah
chewmaca2
Did he steal the trophy again?

Can't blame em, Spanish king is a daddy

FFS. This site never stops of humilliating itself. The current spanish king has been involved in numerous corruption scandals. But you can't help it, right?

Altqwenta
Nope. Every movement he has done to distance himself from his father's legacy, has been criticized because it seems oportunistic and gis goals seem to be just about his public image. Like waiting for the pandemic to make an anounce in hopes to it be buried under covid news. Is he doing a better hob than his father? Well... his father was a total piece of shit. I don't understand why people try to defend a king, even if he is the best king ever, he is still a stupid figure.

Sorry but fuck Spain. Racist ass country that it is.
factcheckmate
Spain had a rise of fascism throughout their history and had a war over it where fascists won. Argentina harbored Nazi cowards who escaped Germany. Fact of the matter remains that today Spain has a leftist government and Argentina has Miele - far right idiotic turd and a big fan of Elon Musk. I have never seen so stupid and smug, second only to Trump
BorkSamson
Every country has racist assholes. Like Trump, and everyone hes associated with.
And most of Ohio... and a lot of Idaho. And... lots of other places. But. A quick google shows Spain has a lot of 'racism' areas too... and so does Russia. So does every country.
It's almost like... ignorant fuckheads exist in every country. And you shouldn't judge that entire country on the loud ignorant fuckheads.
BorkSamson
Nationalism is a fuckin plague. Just wanted to add that.

Just because they dont like zionist doesn't mean they're not racist. They dont like, let me check my notes, most people who are not white presenting.

How are black players on Spanish white presenting exactly. And if we pick Argentina over them the only player that stands out is a fella with Scottish last name McAlister. Not one dark skinned player.
EveryGOPAccusationIsActuallyAnAdmission
Also against fucking Nazi generations in Argentina so....
shitheadtookmyname
You get that America took more Nazis than Argentina, and Argentina was colonized by Spanish right? And that Argentina banned slavery before Spain? Like in what world is Spain LESS RACIST than Argentina LMAO oh a few Nazis fucked off to Argentina therefore Spain is based and NEVER was a major player in the slave trade
lalalalsblablabal
Look up what Argentina did to its population of African descendants.

Okay. I'm not the one butt hurt about what you said and they had a reason to play like they did. Being in a country that they doesn't want them there.
