That was an all-time shocking and consequential World Cup finish, with the lives of both teams and another not involved on the line, and the FOX announcers could not have been less up to the moment. The World Cup, and these all-time moments, deserve better than the throwaways FOX gives them.

Iran deserved way better than this. Not just incessant maltreatment and discrimination from tournament and racist policies, but the lack of respect they got was unbearable. And they gave everything. Persians are resilient and this will only fuel their fire. #TeamMelli

Wait this Algeria game is legit insane

What great performances from African countries at this World Cup ‒ both from the teams on the pitch and from the fans, many of whom had to fight tooth and nail to make it to be there.

It truly sucks he wasn’t there for this win.

The Leopards 😭😭😭😭😭😭

It’s one of the many shames of this World Cup how much of the US white soccer media/news/influencers ignored most of the issues and problems that are happening/have happened. The ‘this is fine’ même come to life for the sake of content & access & clout.

Don’t be a rapist and don’t get booed, it’s fairly easy

Noooooooo don’t take that from us

YES YES YES DR CONGO

Honestly fitting for the continuation of the apparatus that murdered Lumumba to deny the celebration of his memory. Happy Birthday America www.aljazeera.com/sports/2026/...

This fascist ass government would welcome rapists into this country more than Black & Brown people.

Being a woman that loves this sport is like stepping on a rake every goddamn day. These teams and federations do not love us back.

Would be so nice to just enjoy some soccer without having to encounter people covering for rapists

Well our country did assassinate Lumumba in 1961 so it makes sense that our government wouldn’t want the people to know about that

Ah yes, great welcoming host country, a tournament without issues or incidents! All fans welcome!*

Forza Democratic Republic of the Congo!!!

Rooting for the non-UEFA teams today

Add him to the list! The list I don’t want to keep!

SO HAPPY FOR CABO VERDE

Damn Uruguay are just getting angry now and messy and these fouls are not great

PLAY YAMAL AND WILLIAMS AT THE SAME TIME YOU COWARDS

Spain pls

there are some aspects of men's football i enjoy but the state of goalkeeping is a problem they need to fix if they want to be taken seriously

What a stupid goal but I’ll take it

I’m sorry Gotham but I don’t have the emotional capacity right now for y’all

Rooting as equally hard for Spain & Cabo Verde right now and it’s stressful

I love you @jessielosch.bsky.social but your team is my enemy for the next 90 min. It’s our @unusualefforts.bsky.social derby!

I've had this conversation off line amongst some of us who knew Grant and we all agree he would have loved to be tearing this shit apart and I miss him dearly. I will feel it even more next year during the women's WC since he was such a vocal supporter of the women's game too.

The divide we face is not progressives vs. moderates. It's fighters vs. folders.

Notice the shameless use of Islamophobia against Mamdani, El Sayed and Darializa...by both Republicans AND some Democrats. Completely normalized. Very little outrage, pushback, or demands for apology. Not a mainstream story. They're not using dog whistles. Also explains the support for genocide.

ALSO is Country Roads really “our” anthem or just for all the white people.

LOL

Also I feel insanely old as no one on this app seems to know who Vincenzo Montella is 😭😭😭

I am so fucking tired of all the shots of celebs in the crowd. It’s such a patronizing move: oh you’re not really interesting in soccer, right?? Look at these famous people instead! Americana would rather see famous people!

And speaking of, I was just alerted to the fact that Japan's Sano was arrested for gang rape back in 2024 so it's not just CR7 and not just Partey and not just and not just and not just.... *sigh*

Or maybe some of us just don't like RAPISTS so we are always gonna choose Messi between the two

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We'll miss you, Curaçao but I am thrilled for Côte d'Ivoire making the knockout round

It's halftime and we just want to say two things: 1. Please join our #WorldCupPledge and 2. Trans visibility rocks

too much footy!!

omg Ecuador!! yessssssss

Les Éléphants !!! 🐘🐘🐘

jealous of everyone who got to go to this

Curaçao v Côte d'Ivoire is one of those why can't everyone win games for me

The significance of Guillermo Ochoa, who made his career and won titles with club America, playing what could be his last game with Mexico at the legendary Azteca Stadium. How could you not be romantic about futbol?

Oh no I’m feeling emotions with Memo coming on 😭

Very thankful that both games have finally started giving us some bangers

I WILL BANG THIS DRUM OVER AND OVER!! Take away AT LEAST three to five of their spots and give to Africa/Asia/Oceania/Concacaf

Well damn. Morocco ruining the party, once again.
