Well Thats It For Another Four YEars
Well Spain won.
Congratulations Spaniards.
Everyone has an opinion. Vox is about the only person I’ve seen call it a good game. I myself thought it was a crap game. It certainly was a close game. I popped in at about the half-time mark and it doesn’t seem like I missed too much. Argentina didn’t play to win and so deserved to lose. Thank God I chose to skip the half time show. I saw a ghoul I suspected of being Justin Bieber moan a vowel and decided to mute and go make my morning coffee or whatever it was..
But then how much of this was real? What role did the refs and the betting markets play and the various needs for optics from politics and advertisers?
How many people think this was a legitimately played game? Much less a good one?
IMO the best team was Norway and the real final played was the Quarter Final where Norway narrowly beat a dogged and spirited England. Capo Verde did very well to get to the Semis on their first appearance in the tournament.
Messi and Capoferro Ronaldo shouldn’t have taken as many drugs as they did if they had hoped to win the tournament again. Señor Gazpacho was a great advertiser and his cold gruel of defeat would’ve been a scant consolation for Argentina’s sad pack of wussy sissy losers. Go find something else to be good at Argentina. It’s way past time. The barbeque isn’t gonna be sufficient, we can all do that. Maybe computing?
If you wanna win the trophy spend more time on two legs shooting at goal.
Spaniards have been using the opportunity on 4chan, Substack and the likes to extoll the other merits of their nation. This is similar to what them Eyetalians were doing in 2006. Spain is doing pretty well economically apparently, the immigration has been cohesive and beneficial and even the Muslims are getting along (“muh al-andalus” is a thing apparently, as are Romania-bros, the Russians AND Ukrainians are there and getting along fine, everyone hates Israel), the industry is coming back via Chingchong investment, the sun is shining and the times are good in Iberia. How much of that is true I have no fucking idea. That 4chan account could be just one of their 500 ministers of government blowing shit out of his ass on the Euro taxpayer payroll. Or her ass. or Xherr ass.
Or it could all be true and I live in the backwater in Melbourne Australia, the commie asshole of the world. They’re probably both true tbh.
I’ll give this tournament a 7/10 overall. It was corrupt, and the best teams got knocked out before the final via wicked and cunning latin-language—group duplicity, but that’s usually par for the course anyway, and there was some good high-scoring games, good weather, decent fandom, and some amusing geopolitical controversy on the side.. The music acts were terrible, the Socceroos, apart from their decent onfield performance, were a blight on the senses, Christiano Ronaldo looked pretty much a man with more of a reputation than a game, and I didn’t know any of the names of the players from the winning team. Man Of The Match in the final was definitely Donald J Trump. To have been an American President of his temperament enduring such a boring game in what is supposed to be the pinnacle of the sport (or World Sport full stop) and still appear so dignified and gracious really took alot of character.
Edward Norton talking to himself in the USA- Turkiye game was also an amusement for the viral nerdsphere, As was Erling Haaland and all the Norwegians.
Influenzo or whatever the new FIFA chair is looks as corrupt and slimy as his predecessors, like Blatter and all. But until you get caught, and even for some time after that, you are pretty much clear to carry on as you were.
SBS were diabolical commentators and even Kevin Prince Boateng couldn’t save them in the end. I had to mute the lot of them whenever they were talking. Tommy Oar is gay as shit as was Christian Volpato and Dykey whatsername. We are all very fucking sick of the gays and globohomo generally… in case you didn’t know by now…. And if you’re gonna try and defend them. Don’t. Just shut the fuck up. Time to re-establish heteronormalcy.
Well that’s a wrap. Back to life. Back to reality.
Vamos Spayne……. Vamos…
VAMOS!!!
The Sun sets on another incredible tournament unblighted by any controversy or foul-play. Well done to all concerned or making this the greatest tournament yet!
