Tottenham3 - 01899 Hoffenheim
was in the stands for this one!! i don’t have much to say except what a performance, i’m super proud of us :) there were defo some moments that had me STRESSED because our attacking players were occasionally lacking a little, BUTTT we made up for it by keeping a clean sheet so😋 That being said though i’ve been converted to Tel-ism, not like i ever really doubted him but christ he works so hard so consistently, love him!! also tonali + senesi + van hecke were on fire tbh i was pretty distracted in the first half of the match after seeing robbo train like 5m away from me 😵💫 i fear i’m never gonna get over it. AND HEY!! ROBBO ASSIST!! people (me) died
Spain1 - 0Argentina
the poetic justice in this match… ferran scoring and enzo being sent off… what a way to end the world cup. while the match was very much anticlimactic, cheeks were clenched YET again bc it went on too damn long pero VAMOSSSSS!!! VIVA ESPAÑA!!! so glad i watched this match w my bsf and my bf because Lawd i probs would’ve shut my computer after 90 minutes if they weren’t there, but they made it super fun and just slightly more bearable when we had to see trump hand over the medals and basically ruin spain’s celebration. YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE TEAM! YOU ARE SENILE! GO BACK TO BED! the half time show felt so empty to me. i’m grateful that i don’t have to deal with ‘soccer’ or even think about the MLS for the foreseeable future. the americanisation of everything, all the pomp and circumstance was just hideous, and really goes to show the levels of corruption that FIFA so willfully entertains. it’s sickening, and i hate the fact that FIFA runs a sport that’s meant to be democratising, by selling it to the biggest dictators you could think of. fuck fifa, fuck trump, and well done spain for taking the future of football out the hands of that fuckass argentinian team because it needed to happen sooner or later
Spain
France4 - 6England
this felt like a fever dream. lowkey one of the best matches i’ve seen so far from this world cup, it was just so fun to watch england ACTUALLY be good now they’ve got the pressure off them. idk man, we’re not in the final but i’m still super proud of us. let me not get emotional now omg… also BUN north london allegiances, saka ily you deserve the whole world 🫶🫶 one question remains to be answered tho which is why was rashford subbed off so early wtf😭😭 tommy tickle making my head spin w those subs but whatever we still won YAY! sad to see didier go, i did want france to win for maybe like 5 mins but i had to let myself be a bit patriotic
EnglandEngland1 - 2Argentinait’s no use Djed. Djed, we’ve gotta have it out. i have loved you ever since i have known you, Djed. i couldn't help it and i've tried to show you but you wouldn't let me, which is fine, but i must make you hear now and give me an answer because i cannot go on like this any longer. i’m so fucking tired of argentina bruh. that guy joe from trevor noah’s podcast saying he’s got harry kane on fraud watch… truer words have never been spoken😭😭😭😭 #wherewashe
England

Egypt
Portugal0 - 1Spainwe all spanish today… put this match on the background bc it was boring as hell but i HAD to see ronaldo be sent packing. FUCKKKK him and everything he stands for (fascism, misogyny, rape culture, etc) he’s so washed it would be painful if i actually gave a fuck. north london divisions aside GWAAAAAN MERINO!!! idk i literally caught ab 15 mins of this match but his goal was great 👍
Spain
Mexico2 - 3Englandi’ve been saying that i don’t support england until we get through to the quarter finals, and this match proved i’ve pretty much been lying through my ass cheeks. never been so proud of my country’s team tbh. the concept of being proud to be english… genuinely unheard of for me before this. it felt like an out of body experience - TWO NIL BEFORE HALF TIME. TWO GOALS SCORED W/IN TWO MINUTES. JUDE BELLINGHAM!!! WHATTAMAN!! i love you, you absolute beauty. so glad i stayed up for this one, and watching it w my friends over the phone was peak cus i would’ve died if i didn’t have someone to talk to about it like i was stressed THE FUCK OUT
England
Brazil1 - 2Norwaywheeling neymar onto the pitch for that last pen felt like a mercy killing motm goes to martinelli for @lukamos’s sake idk
BrazilArgentina3 - 2Cape Verde Islands
i only caught the last 30 minutes of this but messi you will receive your lashings imminently. also i’m jumping on the anti romero bandwagon after that goal, at first i didn’t want him out the club but yeah he’s gotta go he’s dead to me cabo verde from the little i saw, you guys played super well and should be massively proud of yourselves🙂↕️🙂↕️ we all know who the real winners were anyways
Cape Verde Islands
Paraguay0 - 1Franceparaguay tryna act like this is a wrestling match and not a football match… fucking hell. what a disgraceful performance. and that ref?? do you hate black people yes or no because why in god’s name did france get 3 yellows and paraguay got NONE??? he’s got to go. well done to mbappe for keeping his cool, he shouldn’t have had to tbh. every time he smiled at the paraguayan players after they’d try to antagonise him, ohhhh he’s the goat for a reason. also that celebration after his penalty made me LAFFFF. paraguay put up a great fight in the first half and france really just weren’t at the top of their game, but lbsr france deserved to win after allat😭😭😭 ALLEZ LES BLEUSSSSSSS
FrancePortugal2 - 1Croatia
my therapist will be hearing about this. luka you were robbed, i’m literally gonna be telling ppl in the retirement home ab this when im old as fuck despite it being physically painful to think about. croatia you’ll always be the winner of this match in my heart ❤️🤍💙 and of course FUCKKKKK RONALDO
England2 - 1Congo DR
kane scored bc of me and @lukamos btw being serious for a min - i wish DRC had won. they deserved it, they played so much better than england did😭 it is CATEGORICALLY not coming home. anyways, i have to reluctantly give it up for gordon… and ofc mpasi cus those SAVES!! but player of the match goes to hazza because im a spurs fan unfortunately
EnglandFrance3 - 0Sweden
getting a bit parasocial ab the french team… those goals were BEAUTIFUL, if they’re not in the final i’d be very surprised also saliba gripsing up gyökeres FRIED MEEEEE not the arsenal on arsenal violence
France
Ivory Coast1 - 2Norwayhaaland literally walked into the goal to score and walked back out again like he’s so irritating
Norway1 - 4Franceok so where was the biblically accurate viking dembele hattrick was amazing and it’s always great to see the dictator (and olise…😛) on the pitch but omg wheres that gif of #DaBap grabbing the refs arm to check the time on his watch cus that’s EXACTLY how i felt during this match. so so boring, and tbh it makes sense for norway to bench almost their entire starting 11 but damn it made for an unentertaining time. haaland v mbappe when bro…
France
Ecuador2 - 1Germany
WHAT A MATCHHHHHH!! big up ecuador, WE’RE ALL ECUADORIAN TODAYYYY
EcuadorScotland0 - 3Brazilangus gunn when i catch you
Brazil
Panama0 - 1Croatiapanama had motionnn in the first half and croatia were a bit shit tbh but defo got more confident + picked up momentum after their goal. livaković pretty much carried the team, those saves were incredible!! croatia better WAKE TF UP and make it as far as they can in the WC for @spectorinc’s sake. or at least, i need them to go out with a bang and not with a fart
CroatiaEngland0 - 0Ghana
i was in and out of this match because i was travelling home, but jesus christ from what i saw england’s performance was doodoo garbage. “shit from a butt” as @spectorinc aptly described it. this was practically a ghana win because they played SO much better than we did, were our players sleepwalking? we defo picked up the pace w/in the last 20 mins, but fucking HELLLL they stressed me out because how many attempts does it take to actually put a ball in a net… anyways i hope ghana make it into the round of 32, and big up the african countries playing in the WC, they deserve so much more recognition than they get!!! also the witch doctor that cursed harry kane had a better performance than most of the english players #truthnuke
Germany2 - 1Ivory Coastwas rooting for côte d’ivoire and tbh it could’ve gone either way! both teams played really well, i’d say the first half had me convinced CDI would win it but undav saved the game for germany, WHAT a player omg because germany’s performance was getting a bit embarrassing lolll. don’t remember much else apart from havertz aging about 5 years every time he missed a goal, and me and @spectorinc screaming when GORETZKAAAAAA got subbed on
Germany
Netherlands5 - 1Swedenthe saxophones kept getting louder and louder😭
NetherlandsScotland0 - 1Morocco
this one had me stressed OUT… cheeks clenched n everything. felt so bad for scotland (ROBBO😩😩) but morocco just had more energy. it picked up in the second half (despite everyone ducking and diving) but MAN i would’ve loved for scotland to have equalised before the game ended. scotland abeg lock in for ur next few games cus i need u in the round of 32😭😭😭
