World Cup 2026

Third place playoff:
France 4 England 6

Absolutely bonkers scoreline.
A game too late for both teams, who probably wished they'd played like this in their semi-finals. England 4-0 by half time, Saka scored a hat trick, Bellingham overtook Kane to become England's top scorer in world cups, and Mbappe with a brace meaning Messi has to score a hat-trick to finish with the golden boot.

I got up to watch the England-Argentina game with my uncle (who's so mad about soccer he took like, 5-6 weeks off work to watch the world cup). My uncle kept dissing every single Argentinian player (especially Messi and this other dude who plays really dirty). Emi Martinez has had a shocker World Cup, since majority of Argentina games the other team has scored and after watching the documentary on him, it's really disappointing. Also America got their karma against Belgium and lost 4-1. Suck on that, Trump!

And everyone's backlashing the half-time show at the finals. Also did you know? That the Americans call their baseball league the "world series" when it's literally them and a couple of Canadian teams. What big heads.

What did your uncle think about the banner the argentines unfurled at the end of the match?

I think the Argentina hate online after the final has reached a disproportionate level, which is sad to see. A couple of players and some fans have acted very poorly, but the generalizations people are making are not okay.

Yeah so…
Spain 1 Argentina 0

Despite the score, one of the biggest mismatches in history and an absolute stinker of a final. Argentina responded to defeat by assaulting Spanish players, so clearly they can dish it out but can’t take it.

And now Kermit and Miss Piggy have more WC final appearances than Cristiano Ronaldo 😂

Yes, they behaved quite rudely—unworthy of a world-class team. Fortunately, the Spanish kept their cool. And it's a bit sad for Ronaldo and Messi, probably was their last World Cup...

This is poetic justice, actually

thank you. It is too bad some of argentina’s players responded so poorly though.

I agree, the level of hate directed at Argentina online has gotten out of hand
