***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

The only part that’s controversial on that pk for me is whether the Belgium guy was stopped from making a play on the ball. I think he probably was but it’s pretty close, wouldn’t have minded a no call there either.

If I go to kick a ball, and at the last millisecond you come in from my right side and stick your foot right in front of mine, I’m going to kick your foot instead of the ball, nothing I can do.

You know what…. it’s funny because I really don’t give two sh*ts about who won that game. Just didn’t like it decided like that is all.
I don’t like how it was decided either, as I think the ref should have called it in real time instead of relying on VAR, but it doesn’t change the fact it was a foul. I know you don’t follow soccer, but I know you follow football. This particular play is no different than defensive pass interference.
