@eric_weinberger I remember the 1982 France-West Germany semi-final. France was coasting to victory until Karl-Heinz Rummenige came on the field and quickly turned things around. A nail-biter.

France figures in 3 of Simon's eight choices: all losses. Would have been two more World Cups for France if they'd won and possibly three. I loved that 1982 squad, but I was a kid.

My choice of the defining moments in World Cup history: Barbosa 1950, Zidane/Materazzi, Randall Kolo Muani in 2022, and of course Maradona, Carlos Alberto etc. For Town & Country magazine: townandcountrymag.com/leisure/sporti…

How can you write this?????
Messi scores again. He sent Zidane to the shops

@fmeetsdata I really feel for Iraq being in this group with three very tough teams.

France 🇫🇷 now at 99.8% to qualify for R32!
Senegal 🇸🇳 drops to 69%. They need to be careful v Norway 🇳🇴 and if things go south - think about goal difference.
Up next: 🇳🇴 v 🇮🇶

People saying 48 teams is too many at the World Cup.
I don’t think there’s enough.
Once every 10 years, bin off the football calendar and give us a 200-team World Cup.
I want games every day. England vs Cambodia on a Tuesday night. Vietnam vs San Marino during my lunch break.

If Deschamps had any sense of banter, he'd have instructed his team to walk off the pitch in protest at that

@zei_squirrel @YankeeReview_ @brunocarv55 just chipping in here in case its helpful: I am using the web and I also still see the monarchist one.

Elon Musk's Mossad handler Nikita Bier, who was given an Iranian "girlfriend" while being a hideous freak, unilaterally decided to change Iran's official flag emoji for the Israeli funded and backed Pahlavi monarchist trash. He still hasn't changed it. Meanwhile in reality:

Lo que pasó fue triste, pero jamás podría odiar a un país entero por las acciones de una sola persona. 😌 🇲🇽🤝🇰🇷

The Korean girl who was mocked for her facial features by a Mexican man turned out to be a Korean influencer. The incident went so viral that the man, identified as Ulises Bernal, was forced to resign from his job and later posted a public video apologizing. The influencer, Ino Cat, responded with a beautiful message 🗣️ “There are strange people in the world, but I realized once again that there are many more good people at the World Cup” Say NO to RACISM!

@tobyasky This is one of the reasons why I love football!

One thing about football is that, it is not 1+1.
You can beat someone, and the person you beat will beat the one that beat you.
We could have faced Brazil yesterday and collect 4-0.
Football is not 1+1.
Mr Bayo@mrbayoa1
This same Morocco team could not beat the Super Eagles in 120 minutes on home soil, yet they went toe to toe with Brazil and even deserve to win.. The Super Eagles under Éric Chelle would have been a serious force at this World Cup if they had qualified. Better days ahead 😩

@AcMustafaMilan "those days are past now, and in the past, they must remain"
You have misunderstood the whole point.

لم تختر أغنية ملكية، ولم تختر قطعة موسيقية تمجد الدولة الحديثة، بل اختارت أغنية تعود بها إلى واحدة من أكثر اللحظات تأثيرًا في تاريخها كله.
ولفهم السبب، علينا العودة إلى سنة 1314.
العربية
هناك ملوك عاشوا حياتهم وهم يحكمون نصف أوروبا تقريبًا، ثم نسيهم التاريخ
وهناك ملك إنجليزي خسر معركة واحدة قبل أكثر من سبعمئة عام
وما زال الاسكتلنديون يذكرونه بالاسم قبل كل مباراة كرة قدم

@simongerman600 finally, my insomnia is positive thing!
English
Being sleep deprived due to the World Cup is normal but which nation's fans have their sleep disrupted the most? Spare a thought for the Algerian football fans! Group-stage kick off times converted to each team’s local time and how much sleep might be lost. Source: reddit.com/r/dataisbeauti…

@GiallorossiBlue @nocontextfm1 Totally appropriate way to feel.

@nocontextfm1 I simply do not care. They're not relevant to England unless we meet them in the knock outs.

Question for anyone who’s watching…
If you’re English, do you want Scotland to win?
