FIFA World Cup 2026

Losing sucks especially when the consequence is you go home but losing like this is the worst because of the hope that you're a few minutes away from beating defending champs and advancing. I rather get blown out and feel the sting of humiliation for very short term than the feeling Egyptian fans are feeling right now, and as a Padre and once Charger fan I know exactly what Egyptian fans are feeling. This kind of loss/sting last for days to the point it makes you a bit sick.

I'm a Pittsburgh fan through and through. As Jim McKay once said, "from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat".

I've become accustomed to the latter.

I'll never forget the 2006 NFL season where Chargers had homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and first game they literally gave the win to the Pats which started the phrase Chargering. For 24 hours I was miserable and irritable and I'm assuming Egyptian fans will go through this too.

Argentinians are very racist. They think they are Europeans.

Argentina won't make it to the final I think. They are vulnerable. Semi final at most.

I assume you've been to Argentina?

There's a lot of blonde hair and blue eyes there.

That explains their racist behaviour. They are not Europeans though.

Extra time and now a shootout.

They showed the crowds in BOG. I miss that city.

Well....most of them are of Spanish and Italian descent and not really mixed with the natives, unlike central America or northern South America. Their racism is still uncalled for.

A lot of Germans settled there as well.

Switzerland v Argentina for the quarter final. Swiss team barely survived the Colombia challenge so I think Argentina is going to the semi final.
