thank god I can go to bed now basking in the glow of the great international footballing community pastime of hating Argentina
damn I guess last night really was the People’s world cup final
fair play Wayne breaking through that glass wall when it matters though

ok so weirdly shakira is the only vibe that makes sense here. also she’s 49!!
absolutely illegal for the muppets to occupy the same space as Ted Lasso come on

building on this a large number of the Argentina team look like Some Guy I Know and I don’t like that

Turns out there’s still time for it to be the first kind
Rafaella Marcus@rafaellamarcus.bsky.social · 3mo agoI thought third place playoff would be a humiliation ritual because we would lose 3-0, instead it is a humiliation ritual because France have shrugged and not turned up, leaving us to look like desperate keen weirdos

Look, for about 10 minutes of my life I truly believed England were going to a World Cup final, and that’s magic in its own way.
Yep. There it is. You got to treat Argentina like fucking Dracula, they’re never dead the first time.
I’m just making Tina Belcher noises and hissing “what ifffff” now
GORDON UPGRADED FROM MEDIEVAL PRINCE DYING OF CROUP TO MEDIEVAL PRINCE WHO AVOIDS BEING MURDERED IN A COUP
True praxis would be both teams abandoning the match in the name of class solidarity and climbing the stands to escort Infantino to the guillotine

Bloody hell, France look like someone cooked them a big chicken pot pie before they went out. Spain look like someone cooked them idk cocaine
Winning in the great England tradition: grindingly and with minimal joy. beautiful boys
I’m drumming my knees, I’m full of an unsettling energy, I’m drinking a gin too fast. I love the futbol
Look I don’t want to take too much credit but I was staring at Bellingham willing him to remember he’s one of the best footballers in the world AND THEN
gutted for Egypt. If it’s any consolation (and why would it be) watching a 2-0 lead slip away is a very England thing to do
(yeah I haven’t posted for months but I got world cup feelings what can I say)
Rafaella Marcus@rafaellamarcus.bsky.social · 3mo agoI love that a ref can book people who aren’t even playing. Wish I had a bit of paper I could wave at people that meant “piss off now”
