@LatiLateef @RafaelH117 The worst side in WC Final history with the best player in history is not an embarrassment?!

@TLagrangee @RafaelH117 Losing 1-0 at extra time in a WC final is not embarrassment
English
Messi’s career ending losing against the country that he could have represented, but he wouldn’t have it anyway other way.
English
@L_sennett @RafaelH117 Spain was definitely better, but they also almost conceded twice when ARG decided to go forward and actually play football.
0 shots on target is just shockingly bad
English
@TLagrangee @RafaelH117 Nah Spain simply was too good, scary how dominantly they gained and held possession over and over
English
It’s sad to see Messi losing a final with his team defending deep desperately considering many of the most upsetting defeats of his career were against teams like this (Inter 2010, Chelsea 2012).
English
@mageplayerbtw @RafaelH117 He's literally "Messi," their best player, one of the best oat.
He needed to step up and take control, which he didn't, and became part of the worst side in the WC final ever!
Stop making excuses for him.
English
@TLagrangee @RafaelH117 when you say "he got embarrassed" you imply something about an individual player's performance, not about the overall team performance.
English
@mageplayerbtw @RafaelH117 Germany also created plenty of changes against Paraguay; it doesn't mean they got embarrassed in that game.
English
@TLagrangee @RafaelH117 No, I sincerely disagree. Messi created opportunities at the near the end of the match. And let's be honest, every match Argentina won was through Messi's playmaking. I think once Messi retires internationally, Argentina is going to get severely exposed.
English
@alan_kapek @Sagar301910 @RafaelH117 So it's a coincidence that ARG suddenly had their two biggest changes with 10 men after Ferran's goal? ARG just didn't want to play football today end of the story
English
@TLagrangee @Sagar301910 @RafaelH117 Argentina is nowhere near Spain level.
They werr trying.
Scaloni adding MF to make it balance, still doesnt work.
1 of the reason they register 0 shot is because they cannot counter attack.
Messi didnot satisfy your fetish to be like Cruyf, they just worse overall
English
@alan_kapek @Sagar301910 @RafaelH117 Can you read?!
Do you know the definition of 'allowed'?
Do you think Cruyff or Maradona would've listened to Scaloni's cowardly instructions? They would've ignored him and started to demand they play football. Messi just disappeared into the background
English
@TLagrangee @Sagar301910 @RafaelH117 So now Messi give instruction to sit deep as well? FFS.
You can clearly see ARG players are 1 level below, run out of gas, and completely outplayed.
English
@Sagar301910 @RafaelH117 Yes! He allowed his team to play in a low block for most of the entire match, like scared pigs. Cruyff turned around in his grave watching this ARG side. Once again Messi is the greatest player but just a horrible leader.
English
@TLagrangee @RafaelH117 Did u watch the game lmao 🤣what was he suppose to do?he already has every trophy that is to win
English
@Sagar301910 @RafaelH117 0 shots in the World Cup final?!
The toughest opponent that ARG faced in their side of the bracket was a horrible ENG that should've lost against NOR. Just an embarrassing match to finish of your career
English
@TLagrangee @RafaelH117 Embarrassed lol..he literally took this dogshit team to final
English
@NealGardner_ This is all on them, creating way too few changes against a low block
English
@Thekingslyerr @NealGardner_ They are not; it's a deliberate choice
English
@TLagrangee @NealGardner_ Looks like they're tired what the hell I never seen argentina this bad ever.
English
@johnewing @dallascowboys Yes into they start playing on dirt in Nov and Dec do to the use but in Sept it is nice I am sure
English
In a survey of 1,700 players, 92% say they want grass over turf per NFLPA.
Grass field being removed from @dallascowboys field after World Cup games
Shame 😱
English
@DallasTexasTV Most valuable franchise for a reason. Can't have the athletes play on a nice grass field
English
@themancalledroy @TheBolivianYank @RUSozo1 The fallacy that ''soccer'' is not popular to open up local clubs is genuinely retarded
English
@TheBolivianYank @RUSozo1 Wrong. This isn't Europe. Nobody cares about that here. NObody is going to suddenly get into Soccer when we have all these other popular sports because "we opened up the pyramid". It is not the magic fix you tricked yourself into believing it is.
English
Hope nails it. There’s not enough developmental academies to cover our whole country. It’s laughable to think MLS can do it.
This is why we need to take away their division one status and open up the pyramid so teams can develop around the country without MLS bottlenecking our first division status.
If you let teams start from the bottom an option to make it to the first division through merit, do you know how many teams would organically develop across the country to become a “Wrexham” USA???
It’s the American dream story waiting to happen….

@JGreenbergSez You're athletes; never say that. Also Balogun is an Englishman.
English
A huge cultural difference between international soccer and American sports cultures. Americans are used to our athletes saying they prefer to beat an opponent at full strength. International soccer culture - the same culture that produces players pretending to be injured - is fine whinging about a guy being suspended for something he didn’t even do to their team.

🚨 BREAKING: RBFA say they are "astonished" Flo Balogun can play against them and "investigating all potential options". "The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time). "FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction. "However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup. "Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5: "If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed." "The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026. "The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations. "In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options."

@DanyLeon131 @mrmckee @thekccurrent @OnsOranje @FWC26KansasCity @hiltzikm ''Austria and Algeria supporters pose for a photo at Kansas City International Airport as they arrive for the next match in Kansas City on Saturday''
''The hope for today is 40 to 45,000 people in total flying IN and OUT of Kansas International,” Overstreet says''
MORON!

@TLagrangee @mrmckee @thekccurrent @OnsOranje @FWC26KansasCity @hiltzikm LIAR!
Kansas City International Airport reported between 40,000 and 45,000 arrivals for the Netherlands vs. Tunez match.
Not American citizens.

Once in a lifetime experience in KC.
A sea of oranje through downtown. 🤯

@MReforger @Alan_Covington There's 104 matches played during this World Cup. The Netherlands played hundreds of WC matches in its history.
Comparing this to a victory parade is the dumbest thing I've ever read in my life!
English
@TLagrangee @Alan_Covington Nothing is “regular” about a World Cup game.
That is the dumbest thing I have heard all day.
English
The World Cup is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in Kansas City. Just remarkable..
Kurtis Seaboldt 🇺🇸@klseaboldt
Is it okay for me to say that we’ve never seen anything like this or am I gonna get torched by a bunch of Chiefs fans?
