Nah that’s just an Assassin’s Creed dlc

Best Norway v England match since 1066 coming up

I think Parliamentary protocol means that it’s the Speaker of the House if Commons in charge of Fifa bribes

for Americans new to the sport, 3-2 in football is roughly equivalent to 817-620 in one of your sports.

The US to Mexico rn

I can't believe taking the mexican chicken baguette off the greggs menu worked

YEP

Haaland is going to smash that England squad like they are a 9th century Monastery

They added 11 minutes injury time. Why? I don’t know. You don’t either. The teams don’t know. Why not 8? Or 13? One guy knows. But it won’t be 11. It’ll be some other number. What number? I don’t know, and you don’t either. When will the game end? See previous answer.

That would have been a great point if they were playing GAA

idk I don’t feel like “blast increasingly shitty crosses over the box” is doing it for mexico here

damn that bicycle kick was a dud

i'm johnny knoxville welcome to concacaf

I think that this might be the best World Cup of my life time? the first one I remember was 98.

Trying crystal meth for the first time at this England-Mexico watch party. Terrific stuff!

VAR if you cheat and give Mexico a penalty here I will forgive you your history of terrorism

"UEFA learns again about CONCACAF" continues to be a great bit

It's funny that watching this game feels so much like watching the 2025 World Series. in that I know I'm watching a classic in real time. They could do a 30 for 30 called "That Night at the Azteca" and it'd be warranted. That said, as a fan of one of the teams, all I feel is sick

You can tell that this game will destroy at least one nation's psyche and that's what sports are all about baby

England v. Mexico

The English are bunkering down and defending so desperately, I'm waiting for the French fleet to show up.

Somme, France in 1916:

When a game earns a standalone Wikipedia page in real time >>>>>

ref flashing cards like it’s yu gi oh

I do think that when we get invited by aliens to make our application to join the Intergalactic Federation. We just invite them to the World Cup to show off the best of what humanity can do.

Football huh.

lol this game is insane.

This World Cup has some absolutely bananas games and its only the round of 16 lol,

timeline magic:

Harry Kane looks like when you create a character and you decide that there's going to be no middle sliders

Friendship with Mexico is over, My new best friend is Erling Haaland

oh balls

Whenever I get bored playing Fifa I just start mashing the tackle button to see how many players I can get sent off

Don't worry, King Charles can call Infantino in the morning about this.

I'd love to see Mexico win but seeing England lose against the Norwegians would be great too

The beauty of sports is you can just decide at any point “I give a shit about this now. Against all reason.” Ten minutes later you hate one of the teams more than life and it’s all downhill from there.

It's so wet lol

From my experience watching TV at this time of the morning, this thing is going to be decided by the suburban seats in the Midlands.

my hot take is that this is the actual america 250. just a ton of different people coming together, showing people what makes America weird and fun. people being welcoming. and yeah there’s some bullshit too, which is also very true to America! but the good and community far outweighs it rn.

i’ve never experienced a collective enthusiasm and fun like this month of the world cup. just consistently blown away how universal the enjoyment is and how deep people are plunging down the rabbit hole. doesn’t matter who i’m with or where i am everyone’s locked in and it rules

I confess I had not anticipated that living in DC during the second Trump term would involve quite so much immediate physical danger

iPlayer shit the bed and i missed that

Oh god they're going to be insufferable

boooo

Come On You Boys In Green!

Bayonets!! boxd.it/f6lPJ3

game delayed by an hour and pity the poor bastards who stayed up to watch this in England

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

I love how they expanded on the story in this game.
