If Julian Alvarez comes to Barcelona, not only will Real Madrid have to be ready the whole world will have to be ready. What a banger from Julian Alvarez and once again, Argentina are giving us another fairytale ending. But there are still a few things they need to improve going into the next matches.

England played like cowards for 90 minutes. I’d say Norway outplayed them for almost the 90 minutes. But once Morgan Rogers and Spence came on after regular time, England finally woke up. Jude Bellingham is literally carrying this team on his shoulders. He may not be the best line-breaking passer or the most technical dribbler, but his striker’s instincts are unbelievable. He has that rare ability to smell where the goal is going to be.

Merino, the clutch. If your team is trailing by a goal and desperately needs one to stay alive, just bring on Merino he’ll somehow find a way to score. Yamal keeps getting better with every game. Hopefully, we get the same fearless Yamal against France—the Yamal who cooked them before.

I’ll blame the bald-headed guy for Portugal’s disappointing performance. He benched the Round of 32 match-winner for no reason. And as for the “best midfield”? Whenever Portugal tried something in midfield, it was mostly because of Neves. Spain weren’t at their best either, but they got the job done. Another clean sheet , Cubarsí is Puyol’s regen. The Yamal vs. Mendes battle was pure cinema. In the end, Mendes got injured trying to stop him. Rodri is backkkkk.

Disappointing performance from Brazil. There were so many moments where a better alternative could have changed the game, but it’s over now. It’s sad to hear about Neymar’s retirement. For me, it truly feels like the end of an era. For me ,Everything started with Neymar For the first time in my life, I couldn’t even celebrate a Haaland goal. What a player he is. The best No. 9 in the world right now, with every bit of potential to go down as the greatest No. 9 the football has ever seen

Absolute cinema. Cape Verde gave everything they had. Both uncs carried the team on their shoulders. Messi is proving, time and time again, why the GOAT debate is over. The best knockout match of the tournament so far.

Spain is back? Hell yeah. But the coach still isn’t using Yamal properly. If he can unlock him and use him the right way, he’ll offer more than anyone else in this team, and masterclass performance from Oyarzabal , Cucu and Rodri . Rodri is backkkkk! 😭🔥 Yesterday, the entire midfield was under his watch. He controlled everything from start to finish.

As expected a disappointing performance from Portugal. When they entered the World Cup, everyone was hyping them up as having ‘the best midfield’ but they couldn’t manage a single line-breaking pass.

Replacing Igor with Cunha was the best decision Ancelotti made this year. Vini delivered another MOTM performance, and it was great to see Neymar back on the pitch.

Even though the score was 5-1, the match wasn’t completely one-sided, but we can’t prove it from the result. But I can prove one thing Arne slot is the problem

Vini looked like he went back to his 23/24 version . Cunha was out there surfing through Haiti’s defence and one sad part is raphinha’s injury . yeeeeeee endrickeeeee got minutes and very highlighting point defence looked solid today

Deschamps fed Mbappe something at half time. He came out like a different beast in the second half. And man, Olise was cooking Senegal’s defence with those KDB-level passes , and Rabiot put in an unexpected performance . Mbappe hate watch unsuccessful😭

Please De La Fuente, play your players in their natural positions. Pedri still did an amazing job despite playing out of position. No Yamal, no party .The biggest highlight was the 40-year-old uncle showing he can still save a fucking Titanic.

The first half was really good, with both teams showing quality, and Vini’s goal was a banger. However, the second half was a bit disappointing. Brazil created some good chances but couldn’t find the finish. Maybe bringing on Endrick could have been a better option.

I’d say it was a very close game. However, Korea closed the gap with their quick counter attacks . Second half was a real remontada
