Egypt W1 - 3Malawi W
Better performance but not good enough. We need a better goalkeeper. Not to be mean but she’s just not good enough
Egypt W1 - 3Malawi W
Not an awful game. Encouraging from Egypt. They definitely need to get a new keeper but other than that not bad. As for Malawi not a great performance but good enough. Chawingas minus that one goal from Temwa were pretty silent
Egypt W1 - 3Malawi W
Tuned in for the second half because i had to finish watching Lion King first, decent half, quite enjoyable. Silly red from Malawi though, so unnecessary to make it more difficult for yourself. Luckily for them they have the Chawinga sisters so even with 10 they were honestly better. Ref giving a pen last minute and VAR overturning it was dumb, it was a clear handball but whatever Malawi already won anyway. Good for Egypt i suppose because now they only conceded 9 goals in two games, they are unbelievably fucked 😭 Temwa easily woman of the match she was great.
Spain1 - 0Argentina
Ah, the Men’s World Cup final, perhaps i will keep my review short this time. All 104 games watched, happy with that. I love watching this Spain side, it’s boring for most, but to me this is one of the most beautiful ways of playing football. The way they confidently pass the ball around with no fear, despite this being the biggest game for every single one of them, is just amazing. Really unfortunate to have Licha get injured, one of the best players of Argentina this tournament and so important for them. Spain had Argentina by their throats though for the first 45 minutes. 0 shots, 0 shots on target, no chances created, blah blah blah a lot of zeros for Argentina in the first half lmao. Really high intensity from a defensive perspective though of Argentina. Second half was more of the same, quite some chances for Spain but everything being shot straight at Dibu. Ref was really in control of the game though, he deserves his praises as well. What a way to fuck it up though from Enzo Fernandez, incredibly stupid challenge when you’re already on a yellow. Actual idiot. Great save from Dibu in the last minute though, good game from him. After 90 minutes 15 shots to 0 shots lmao. Argentina the first team to have 0 shots in 90 minutes of a World Cup final. Disallowed goal was weird, I’d probably agree with the ref but it was a bit weak. Weird Eric García and Zubimendi got subbed on, both had made 0 minutes all tournament. What a shot from Ferran Torres, all the slander this tournament but he does it when it matters most, incredible. Man of the match has to be Pau Cubarsí, insane performance and only 19. Lastly i really want to thank everyone who have liked my long ass reviews the past month and the kind words too, genuinely means a lot to me to be able to say everything i have to say about games and people actually reading that all ❤️❤️❤️. Club season will have more long reviews from me. Some stats in comments for those interested.
SpainSpain1 - 0Argentinathere is something so magical about football something in the way football strings its unique emotions, something in the way football relates us, something in the way football seeds these ridiculous dreams we sacrifice our bodies and souls for, something in the way football reflects the human experience's beautiful intricacies, something in the way football feels more human than anything else in the world football is the thing in my life that has made me feel the most human, dream the most, relate the most... and to have found a community of beautiful people who feel the same about football and to watch the tournament emulating that something magical about football together... it's a dream. it means the world. thank you all of you for being on bookd this world cup 💚
England1 - 2ArgentinaFalklands war 2026 colorized. A first half that did not include much football, just mostly a ton of fouls and confrontations. When they did play football it was quite even. First half saw 19 fouls and 0 shots on target. Also 3 shots in total which is the lowest in 45 minutes out of all the games this tournament. First time no shot on target in 30 minutes in all of World Cup history (last record was 29 minutes between England - Norway). Second half wasn’t as extreme as the first 45 minutes luckily. But a brilliant cross from Rogers and a good finish from Gordon was enough to open the score. Which was really needed in a game like this, because it completely opens the game for both sides to have more chances. Really really brilliant tackle from Djed Spence, for me its the tackle of the tournament. England were actually hanging on by a thread in the last 15 or so minutes and thats what killed them. Enzo Fernandez being allowed to shoot from distance and force a corner is one thing, him being allowed to do the exact same thing again without anyone marking him is genuinely a disaster. Then the second goal is just more of the same with bad defending, no one rushing to block crosses and just hoping for the best, awful. Maybe unpopular opinion but Argentina deserved this one, they took advantage of England their massive weakness here. Two more Messi assists, has g/a in each of his last 11 WC games. 12 g/a this tournament too, one more than Mbappé. First time from at least 2002 that i checked that a team ranked 1st in the FIFA rankings reached the final (or semi final for that matter) Man of the match probably just Messi, so important yet again.

England
France0 - 2SpainSpain dominated from the start, according to my gimmick i have to talk about the midfield again because i have every single game of Spain. They used the midfield they had in 2024 again, yayyyy!!! Took until quarter finals but they now use a good midfield again for two games in a row. I do of course like Pedri, but with Olmo and Rodri he doesn’t work. With this midfield they perfectly dealt with France their entire attack which often went through Olise down the middle. While the French wingers both were dealt with easily too, and also had a bad game. More or less completely nullifying the deadly French attack, especially Mbappé who couldn’t be reached. Digne with just an awful challenge that led to the penalty after generally a good tournament by him, definitely because he left Villa. Spain just deserved this one, they came out with a plan to beat France and they worked it out perfectly. They will be huge favorites to win the final. A great tournament by France nonetheless, obviously wouldve hoped for more but losing to Spain is not a shame. Not the greatest of fans of Deschamps as a manager but he has done an incredible job for 14 years now and deserves a nice retirement. Very excited about France being led by Zidane though. Fun stat, never has someone who won the Ballon d’Or before the world cup, gone on to win the world cup, lmao. Man of the match is Fabian Ruiz for me, the man was just everywhere and he makes this midfield work. I think he’s generally very underrated as well. Such a good player.
SpainArgentina3 - 1Switzerland
Theres a WW2 history joke somewhere between Switzerland and Argentina but im too tired to think of anything funny. Switzerland without Manzambi vs Argentina with Scaloni who famously has no tactics. As someone who loves the deeper parts of the beautiful this game it is not something to necessarily look forward to. Messi is all i was really interested in, and Licha and Taglia my Ajax goats. Who would’ve thought the game went exactly as expected? At least a Messi assist so that gets all kinds of records again. Also that Embolo dive lmao, why the fuck would you do that on a yellow? What a fucking goal from Alvarez though in extra time, fucking unbelievable really. Even a third goal still from Argentina, they actually did shit for once. Messi with 10 World Cup assists now, first to reach that. Also Argentina have scored 2+ goals in 12 consecutive games. Breaking Uruguay their record of 11 between 1930 and 1954. Switzerland out but their first quarter final since 1954, i think this achievement is more than they could have ever imagined. Argentina somehow survived again, im very skeptical how they will do against England, its not looking good at all they just play so so bad. Its Messi and thats all. Man of the match Licha, hes the goat, hes the best, hes everything. 8 defcon, heatmap being everywhere, joint most dribbles completed lmao.
ArgentinaSwitzerland2 - 0Algeria
Despite Switzerland being a incredibly boring country to me i was quite excited for this game as it really felt like a 55/45 type game. Gotta say i was disappointed by the first half though, just not enough happening really besides the goal. But what a goal it was, great assist from Manzambi and Embolo had a easy goal from there. What a player Manzambi is, so so so excited for his future, hopefully he makes a intelligent transfer instead of going for the biggest bag of money. What a way to start the second half though to score within a minute. Great goal from Ndoye. Algeria just making too many mistakes and they get punished for it. Absolutely shocking miss from Rieder, how that didnt go in is just insane. Its mostly just a boring game though with not too much happening. Switzerland have finally won a knockout game again on the World Cup, last time was in 1938 so this is incredible for them. Embolo the first Swiss player to score multiple goals on two different World Cup tournaments so thats pretty cool. Man of the match is Denis Zakaria for me, very good defensively and also created a big chance, just a great game from him. Much shorter than last review but a lot less happened, and i’m tired lmao. (I say much shorter but it still ended up being 1300 characters)
SwitzerlandSpain2 - 1Belgium
Spain's strategy this WC is one that is incredibly simple. They will bore the opposition to death by passing around for 90 minutes, and then hit them with the Merino dagger off the bench. And, ngl, it's working.

USA1 - 4Belgium
Great hatewatch. So happy that Balogun red was overturned, the US has absolutely no excuse for that pitiful performance. No amount of corruption will ever make this country good at the sport. @kap @scartinelli @midgetlover here are the cat pictures you asked for
BelgiumUSA1 - 4BelgiumAnd just like that all the host nations being knocked out in the same round. A game with a very heated lead up due to the Balogun suspension. And the game honestly lived up to it. Belgium looked fired up and it’s exactly what i expected of them after all that. Initially surprised Doku didn’t start but maybe Rudi Garcia knows a little bit of ball after all. De Bruyne also benched which is a little strange but he hasnt had the greatest tournament. Shocking mistake from Freese, doing that at 2-1 behind is absolutely insane and completely buried the game for USA. Who wouldve thought that the worst position in USA their team would eventually be the one to kill their hopes and dreams. The whole team have looked quite nervous the entire game, which ultimately led to their downfall too. Ream had a shocking game but he’s also old as fuck so who’s surprised. Huge error for the 1-4 as well, glad Lukaku got his goal that man deserved it for all the slander. First Belgian to score 3+ goals at multiple World Cups now. Dare i say Belgium looked good today, wayyyy better than previous games which is surprising for sure. Still dont like Rudi Garcia though but he had a good plan for today at least. Really unfortunate to see Onana get injured, hope it’s nothing bad but it ain’t looking good. Personally very happy for my southern neighbors, and not because the whole red card situation was bullshit and goes against the integrity of the game, thats just an extra reason lmao. USA has a promising team so im sure they will be even better in 4 years. Man of the match De Ketelaere, brace and an assist I suppose lmao. He played a very good game though, so much better than he was in previous games.

Mexico2 - 3England
Hey Jude that was fucking crazy
EnglandMexico2 - 3EnglandGame of the tournament nothing comes even close what the actual fuck. Jude Bellingham proving me wrong and Jordan Pickford proving me wrong. Theres so much to say. A great start to the game, very close to each other, but Jude getting two great goals within 90 seconds of each other. Mexico scoring the 2-1 quickly after too to get into half time. Second half was so violent honestly, fair read for Quansah id say as well. Two penalties, one for each team to keep it 2-3. The moment Quiñones was subbed off it was kinda it for Mexico though, very strange decision. Gotta give credit to England, even though i called it after my Mexico - Ecuador review as well. England just have much more quality against a team that doesnt sit back. Obviously wasnt like that all game because of the red card. But the passion after that from all the subs as well was incredible, they put their lives on the line and thats something you only see in international football. Only 33% possession lmao. First team to beat Mexico at the Azteca in a World Cup game too. Its a unfortunate ending for a excellent Mexico this tournament, but they can still be happy i think all things considered, especially with someone like Mora being even better in 4 years. Having this World Cup classic at the Azteca made it a absolute 20/10 its not even close, my favorite World Cup game of all time. Ref was also great this game to keep a chaotic match in check. England - Norway will be a banger. Man of the match gotta be Jude though he was great, but honestly all of them were excellent. Just wow honestly this is what football is about.

Colombia1 - 0Ghana
Fuck Partey, quite annoying constantly having to start my reviews like this because players cant be normal human being. Shouldnt be so difficult to respect others. Pretty disappointing first half, few chances but its mostly quiet, especially a big hit after that Argentina game which was a banger. 1-0 was a good header by Jhon Arias, but there also were no defenders marking him at all. Besides that a disappointing half from Lucho and James too. Ghana havent shown much at all, theyve been so disappointing all tournament imo. Second half more or less the same, few chances on both sides and a offside goal for Colombia but not that much going on. Also not much to say about it lmao really nothing happened. Very disappointing display from both sides Ghana finally out, took long enough. So bad every game and all games they played were awful watches. Colombia was disappointing today, i liked them in previous games but they didnt show enough here at all. Colombia - Switzerland is a exciting match up though. Man of the match Jhon Arias, he was everywhere and also scored the goal so he deserves it. Lot shorter than usual but dear god this was awful. On towards the Round of 16 now.
ColombiaArgentina3 - 2Cape Verde Islands
Might need to visit the doctors after this
ArgentinaArgentina3 - 2Cape Verde IslandsFuck Ryan Mendes first of all, get some fucking consent first you idiot. Fairly slow game the first half, as expected a defensive Cabo Verde, couple of chances for Argentina but they needed a absolute beauty of a pass from Martinez (made in Amsterdam) and a even better finish from Lionel Messi to score the 1-0, what a first touch and what a goal, insane. Second half Argentina played way too slow, Cabo Verde got more into the game with some chances, but actually scoring the 1-1 is a beautiful moment for the country. Scored by someone born in Netherlands. Vozinha was again insane, few incredible saves. Incredible how this went to extra time, its Cabo Verde their whole identity or something. Lisandro Martinez scoring a quick goal which was perfectly placed, i love that man. But Cabo Verde, specifically Sidny Lopes Cabral, born in Rotterdam as well, scoring potentially the best goal of the tournament and him just running into the stands, standing there for awhile just not knowing what to do, and eventually getting hugged by his girlfriend, is maybe the most beautiful moment of the tournament for me, love that they didnt cut away from that. Thats just special. Is it Argentina if they dont still score the winner? Unfortunate goal to concede since it also deflected of a handball from a defender. Argentina were weird though, just so slow this game and every time when they got a lead they just stopped bothering to do more, they have enough quality to keep going. Huge respect for Cabo Verde though, they gave it their absolute everything. Messi is the first player to score 7+ goals in two editions of the Mens World Cup, first player to score 20 WC goals, he also now has 13 goal contributions in knockout games, surpassing both Pelé and Mbappé who have 11. Also 12 goals in the last 8 WC games. And also the first player to score in 5 straight knockout games. Man of the match Lisandro Martinez, he was great all game honestly and a incredible assist + a good goal.

Portugal2 - 1Croatia
First id like to say fuck Ronaldo, 2009 will not be forgotten. I would also like to say that as I’m known for my tactical analysis that Roberto Martínez is a fraud and should give his coaching licenses to me because i genuinely think i would make a better manager than him. I think the first half wasnt as bad as many people said. To me it was okay, ive seen muuuuch worse and there were some exciting moments. Cristiano Ronaldo played disappointingly as expected, but theres something beautiful yet weird about watching one of the greatest of all time to be this washed, i dont quite know how to explain that feeling because i also just really dislike him as a human so maybe that impacts some of it. He had zero touches in the box throughout the first half which for him is just disastrous, long gone are the days of him being the best in the world. Vitinha has been very disappointing too, just plays very safe but its also necessary because if he risks things than the attack will not be able to do anything useful as they are awful lmao. A super defensive Croatia too, not too many attacks from their side which was disappointing to see. Second half started incredible honestly, immediately some chances and who else than 37 year old Ivan Perišić scoring the opener. Most goals on World Cups now for Croatia. Almost a insane equalizer from Rafael Leão right after, im a huge hater so seeing how he hit that woodwork made me a bit nervous lmao. What a hit though. Ronaldo finally scoring a knockout goal! But it was offside, brilliant goal if he timed that run better. He got his knockout goal anyway though, not the best pen he has taken but it went in anyway. 100% pen too, no way around it. With that he becomes the oldest goalscorer in World Cup knockouts at 41 years and 147 days. Another fun fact i saw was two of the 7 oldest goalscorers scoring within 15 minutes of each other. Also as many international tournament goals as Ronaldo Nazario now with 25. More in comments
CroatiaUSA2 - 0Bosnia & Herzegovina
First half went as expected for me, a attacking USA while Bosnia sits back, early on almost a olimpico from Bosnia but thats the only chance they got. Balogun with a disallowed goal but after that he did get the 1-0 finally. Only the third USA player to score 3+ goals on the World Cup, Bert Patenaude with 4 in 1930, and Landon Donovan with 3 in 2010. Second half yet again more of the same, rough red card for Balogun, i think its red but also unfortunate since he didnt mean it. But ive seen them given for less too and i think ankles and such should be protected this way. Even with 10 USA still was better. Super disappointing game from Bosnia. Made even worse when Malik Tillman scored the 2-0. I quite like this USA team, they play well and its enjoyable to watch, didn’t think id be rooting for them lmao. Bosnia never showed any intent to score, or maybe theyre just not good enough to even be able to try. Either way i expect a little bit more from them, they played like they lost the game at kickoff. USA - Belgium will be interesting and with Balogun suspended i really have no clue who i rate more. Edin Džeko is the oldest outfield player to have featured in a World Cup knockout game. Proper old timer did he even do anything this game lmao. Man of the Match Antonee Robinson for me, defensively was good and was dangerous a couple times on the offense too. Just put in a good shift and he deserves praise for that. Also another exact prediction so im still first on leaderboard, yayyyy.
USA
