Spain 2-1 early in the second half.

I swear somebody is going to get a goal from midfield before this tournament is over. Both Georgia and Slovakia came close Sunday.

Yamal from Spain is only 16 and he's already phenomenal. Yikes

Missed, this … the new name is now the official name of the county to avoid being associated with the thanksgiving bird…

from 2022
The Turkish government is asking that the country be called by its Turkish name, a change which the United Nations has now adopted.

They don't get to tell us how our language works.

I'm pretty sure they're not saying "United States of America" with the correct accenting in Turkish.

Either way, their Turkiye is cooked.

Isn’t it the same thing as updating the spelling/pronunciation of Beijing and Mumbai?

Britannia may have ruled the waves, but they sucked at phonetics.

Now we rule the waves and suck at phonetics. I'm pretty sure that Bombay isn't far off the Hindi version, lots of languages in India. And romanizing words can be tricky. Just ask good old Nippon.

Also, reading up on this it seems it was the Portuguese that just liked making names up they thought sounded good

Should've known

FIFA #2 vs FIFA #3 and that shitty ass goal is going to decide it.

gross.

 

[Bestbuck36]

As a whole Portugal is so fast and skilled, they just can't finish.

 

[Dee-Liem]

There's about 20 min left in regular time and I don't think Portugal is scoring.

If anything, Slovenia could catch Pepe isolated and score a counter breakaway.

 

[Dee-Liem]

I'll call shootout (0-0).

No finishers on Portugal unless a time machine can subtract 10 years off of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Slovenia defends the cross too well and Portugal lacks any other type of attack.

I can see Djota slicing in for the winner. Watched it several times in Anfield. He just has a knack although Ronaldo is going to keep trying

Since I just lost money on Portugal, I hope Slovenia drills them in ET.

Lol same.

Yep tackled him in the box. Now CR gets the glory. Jiota just produces over and over again

Karma

 

[Dee-Liem]

Well, I'd put cash that Ronaldo makes his kick in the shootout.

At least he got some practice on Oblak
