@FOXSports That was a foul - 100%, but should the VAR have overturned the goal that happened at the other end after several seconds? Terrible use of VAR.

The referee has ruled it out for a free-kick to Argentina in the build-up.
Has he made the correct decision?

@LiteralErrado @Ninoh_Pavard @PauloAnalistas But here’s the thing, in a good team, the attacker will make countless runs like this. Your mid doesn’t make the pass every time - they eventually make 1 or 2.
Portugal weren’t good enough as a team. Mids didn’t take charge, and Ronaldo didn’t do what he needed to do as a 9.
English
@LiteralErrado @Ninoh_Pavard @PauloAnalistas There’s no way that Neves can be a 100% sure that Ronaldo’s off. You have to make the pass, then find out.
And I agree the ball wasn’t easy to control, but he got the control spot on with his body, he could easily lobbed it over for Ronaldo.
English
Olhem esse exemplo que recortei: João Neves recebe o passe livre no meio-espaço.
Cristiano faz o movimento pra atacar o campo aberto nas costas da linha.
O que João Neves faz? Controla a posse de bola, toca curto, time volta a bola e não sabe o que fazer com ela. Ridículo.

Na média, Portugal deve ser a Seleção com a posse de bola mais lenta dessa Copa do Mundo. Tem diversos jogadores acima da média, porém que circulam a bola de um lado pro outro sem nenhuma criatividade. Não tem movimentações pra gerar espaço e parecem sempre a procura do "passe perfeito" sem ter mais nada pra fugir da posse estática que possui. Pode se classificar contra a Espanha... mas é um dos trabalhos ofensivos mais decepcionante dessa Copa. Coletivamente deveria jogar muito mais!

@JoserNunez91 @dclandofnerds @EliotShorrParks USA were the favorites in that game. It was down to two reasons - the US had cruised until then and had played great football. Belgium despite the talent were lucky to even get to the R16.
The favorites tag is usually set by the bookmakers based on bets. That’s how it works
English
@dclandofnerds @EliotShorrParks I appreciate the use of some punctuation in the attack on me. Genuinely.
English
USA straight up choked in that game
They were favorites.
They have a team worth 300m+
They were at home
This wasn’t Davis vs Goliath. Belgium didn’t have way more talent.
USA and its best players were just rattled and didn’t show up in a huge game
English
@BobHealey18 @EuroWynner The US PR victory the OP is talking about is about the country as a whole, and not our soccer team.
English
If you blame this flop on Trump or anyone but the players then you know nothing of sports. Great players rise up to challenges, this team rolled over. They would not have beaten a good college team tonight. US Men's soccer is not anywhere near the level of world soccer and just admit is they sucked.
English
Trump managed to turn a World Cup that was honestly turning into a major US PR victory into a total national humiliation. Genius.
English
@FabrizioRomano Don’t worry, the ex-United player pundits will continue to sing his praises and probably get him the golden ball.

@AdamHoge I watched the USA play Wales & England in Qatar. They were mighty impressive in the group stages there. They could only draw those games but were easily the better side. We have the memory of a goldfish.
We’re just amping up this WC’s performances because we’re hosting it.
English
Belgium was great, but the moral victory stuff is weird to me. That’s one of the worst performances I’ve seen from USMNT and it happened in a huge moment for the sport on home soil. The FOX coverage keeps saying they accomplished “a ton.” They didn’t make it any farther than they usually do. What am I missing?
English
@JonnyRoot_ He was facing the wrong way and his momentum was taking him away from the ball, yet he tried his best and actually got a touch. Freese was at fault here

@GreatmenArs Merino didn’t get so clinical because Arteta played him up front.
Arteta played him up front because he realized he was clinical and intelligent.
English
I’m sorry, but what did the officials get wrong?
Both penalties correct, especially the Harry Kane one based on what we saw with Luka Modric earlier in World Cup.
Red card? Correct again.
Come on, Thomas Tuchel.
English
@PeixaoMilGrau They don't give penalties just because someone goes down. You need to look at things like: did the keeper go for the ball Would Endrick have gotten to the ball if the keeper hadn’t clipped him?
It was an embarrassing miss at the end of the day. There are no excuses.
English
Deixando de lado a chance clara que o Endrick perdeu, isso aqui foi MUITO pênalti.
Se fosse para a Argentina, sem dúvidas, o VAR chamava.
Detalhe: nesse momento estava 0x0
Português
@bob601448932428 @ArsenalGunny @Lacazest Yes because I know he will die for the team whenever he plays. He might not be the best winger, so let’s get world class players to challenge him.
He’s a really good human and a team player and that is very important for harmony in a squad.
English
@bkrambles @ArsenalGunny @Lacazest Do u honestly think Martinelli is who we need to keep in our attack going into 2027?
English
Don’t quite understand why Martinelli was taken out of the match btw.
Thought he was the best Brazilian on the pitch, easily.
Time for him and Gabriel to get some much needed rest before the Arsenal season starts again! 🧘🏻♂️

@AllFutbolMX If a team can score 3 goals and also park the bus, that’s one heck of a team. 🏴

@kss8kbm18 @AFC_Rexzzy When a player of his stature (he’s a superstar in his country) is willing to throw away his ego because it’s the right thing to do, that’s a class act for me.
English
@bkrambles @AFC_Rexzzy Credit for going back to him, but class act is a stretch. A class act would not havexacted like he did during the game
English
@Lacazest Time for Martinelli to find his next club.
With Brazil out, we should be able to start moving on some of our business
