Final: Spain 1, Argentina 0 | The 2026 World Cup is decided in the second overtime, when Ferran Torres scored the game-winner.
Let's be honest: Aside from the Muppets showing up and the fact that an Argentine player got a red card, this game has played out exactly like we all thought it would.
“Football reminds us of what we all have in common” uh, that we hate fifa?
I am watching the World Cup halftime show, and ... did I suffer a head injury?

"The ref can't miss that [call] ... then I have to play with a contusion in my leg the rest of the game." – Caitlin Clark I find much of the Clark hate to be over the top, but I'm pretty sure the ref can't prevent a player from kneeing you. Just punish the person who did it.

I am again asking you to pick up the American flags that you put at the end of your driveway for the Fourth of July. Cooper is as patriotic as any dog, but it's still a challenge getting him to walk past.
In 56' Reeves comes out of his box and fails to clear the ball. The Belgians take advantage and go up 3-1.
Two minutes after UMNT ties it, they fall behind again. De Ketelaere is killing them.
GAME ON!!!! Malik Tillman scores on another FK. It's deflected in but result is the same and the USMNT have tied it at 1 in the 31st minute. Lumen Field might explode.
Belgium 1, United States 0 | Uncoordinated defense by the Americans leads to an early deficit.

A thing I love about the World Cup golden boot race is that it’s currently a three-way tie between Messi, Mbappé and Haaland — radically different players both in terms of how they play and, well, their sizes. Like, Messi is 5’7’’. Haaland is 6’5’’. Both are elite. Soccer has *range,* man.
