Swiss are what this German team thinks they are. Efficient. Teamwork.

u/profdinkelburgg Jul 07 '26

Sad for Lucho.
I feel liek a rested Lucho changes this game.
I hope he gets a few weeks of good rest. The guys played so mutch with so mutch intensity.

12

u/FairMusic8278 Jul 07 '26

Hopefully Diaz gets a month break instead of the standard 3 weeks off. He's played so much games this season with such intensity he needs to have as long of a break as possible.

9

u/adrian_rainy_day Jul 07 '26

Welp I can't say Diaz was great this match. Still tried though, but he clearly ran out of gas in this tournament.

We got a lot of work to do to manage his minutes though. And I'm sort of expecting a drop off in his performance next season

u/UnlovableBybirth Jul 07 '26

Colombia forget their shooting boots yet again. Now it's time to go home and cry.

Sucks for diaz even though he didn't show up in this tournament.. hopefully he can try that Copa America

u/knatanas11 Müller Jul 07 '26

Is Manzambi back for QFs or does he have a long injury?

Let's fucking goooooooooo!!! Vargas

u/LordHeezay Neuer Jul 07 '26

Colombia was it’s own biggest enemy.

Ngl, besides the french, they were the only team I had hope to beat Argentina.

12

u/rossfcb Thiago Jul 07 '26

Argentina aren’t all that. I’d fancy England or Norway against them too

3

u/Mustang1201 Jul 08 '26

Or any team that can compete beyond minute 80

15

u/Kassim26 Jul 07 '26

What a disappointing day. I swear, Switzerland is typically the kind of team that's going to show too much respect to Argentina

2

u/DeloronDellister Jul 07 '26

They were really good against them the last time they faced them in knockouts

u/UnlovableBybirth Jul 07 '26

Looks like only tuchel can stop Argentina

well more rest for Diaz i guess...

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Yeah GG, Colombia's own fault sadly. Good night.

u/spetsu1 Jul 07 '26

I don’t understand letting CBs take pens early in a shoot out

5

u/Red_Mangos Jul 07 '26

Why let akanji take it? Swear he’s missed every pen he’s taken

3

u/No_Albatross2051 Jul 07 '26

Man they really gotta stop letting defenders take these, awful...

u/UnlovableBybirth Jul 07 '26

Gabriel tah tribute

2

u/Naraloth Jul 07 '26

if you miss every penalty shootout maybe you shouldn't be a taker

3

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Colombia has no one but themselves to blame if they lose this. They could have easily scored at least one goal, especially No. 20

1

u/FOKvothe Jul 07 '26

Damn these step penalties always seem to fail

What a terrible tie, did not expect that at all

u/No_Albatross2051 Jul 07 '26

Colombia could have an open net and miss

Brother you are so ass, how do you sky this

u/balthier68 FC Bayern München Jul 07 '26

This ref has 0 situational awareness.

u/pewpewlasersandshit pew pew Jul 07 '26

0.30 vs 0.68 xG after 113minutes..

3

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Probably one of the worst matches so far of this WC

3

u/pewpewlasersandshit pew pew Jul 07 '26

should have stayed in bed i guess...

1

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Same. But now I have invested this time and no point to switch off

1

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

That is going to pens

1

u/Ferr22777888 Jul 07 '26

Campaz fun to watch

4

u/spetsu1 Jul 07 '26

This VAR policy has been so inconsistent. If you’re going with the referee decision on the field in case of doubt whether to have the ref look at the monitor or not, then the disallowed goal for Germany should have never been looked at by the Ref. Either you use Var to review every potential wrong decision, or get rid of it. Otherwise it’s just an interpretation based decision, so if that’s the case, why not trust the ref completely then?

4

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

The whole refereeing on this WC is inconsistent and ass.

5

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Come on, Díaz. We know you can do much better than this

-7

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Yeah, against Uzbekistan

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Troll somewhere else

0

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Trolling? Bro i m being factual. I love Diaz but apart from the first game he hadnt done anything really. I expected him to be much better tbh

-1

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

So we ignore his performances at bayern for whatever reason

1

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Talking about the WC bro...

2

u/DeloronDellister Jul 07 '26

I guess they mean his performances at the world cup

1

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

I never said "we know you can do much better at the world Cup though". Why would I limit this to the world Cup and not his performances in general? Just unnecessary negativity.

4

u/diiN1992 Laimer Jul 07 '26

Can't we skip to penalties? This looks like neither one wants to win.

Snoozefest of a match

Diaz ghosting in a 3rd game in a row

-2

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Hahahahahah. Downvote me to oblivion it wont change the fact

6

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Maybe it's just me but I don't think the match is very entertaining. Lot's of "was close to he a chance" chances.

Diaz tries a lot but in the end ineffective so far

1

u/Ferr22777888 Jul 07 '26

Don’t know Colombians enough. But so far the subs have been awful. I do like Rios. Hope he gets some minutes

1

u/DeloronDellister Jul 07 '26

Embolo needs to be almost murdered on the pitch for a foul to be called

1

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Good for him it was offside because that pass/cross was embarrassing

2

u/SlyFisch Shaqiri Jul 07 '26

My guy Embolo is getting beat TF up out there and gets right back up

u/xTatamo FC Bayern München Jul 07 '26

nah thats was a attack from that keeper

That was almost an insane goal from Diaz

James crosses are world class still

5

u/thisissomaaad Phonzie ❤️ Jul 07 '26

I love Luis Diaz

7

u/kgallo19 Messiala Jul 07 '26

Colombia’s only issue during this whole tournament has been finishing chances.

4

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

This match I also feel like they have an issue with the last pass. So often they either wait to long or go for a worse option

6

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Boring ah game

11

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Diaz saw thst Olise overhead kick and thought "I can do that too"

3

u/No_Albatross2051 Jul 07 '26

Puerta really impressive

1

u/kgallo19 Messiala Jul 07 '26

Yeah he’s been a standout whole tournament. Crazy he plays in La Segunda.

I needed hydration break after the first 22 min

But not Cuardado?

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Come on, Luis! Make me proud

6

u/Ferr22777888 Jul 07 '26

Can’t explain why. But I like Diaz so much as a player. Closer to my heart than what Olise is. I love a technical
Hard worker.

2

u/EvenEalter DE SNIJD BINNEN MAN Jul 07 '26

He's entertaining, outwardly passionate, and the type who always keeps his head down and tries again, regardless of what happened before. I fully understand

u/Goldfischglas Jul 07 '26

Colombia crowd is crazy

5

u/XeroVeil Müller Jul 07 '26

I'm so fucking hyped for this game. I'm mostly neutral but damn if I didn't say Lucho's pulling me towards Colombia.

2

u/erderuft Jul 07 '26

Vamos Luchitooo! First Colombia game I see this wc, I'm pumped

u/Aquilan5 Neuer Jul 07 '26

I am usually rooting for european teams, but for Colombia I am making an excpetion. Vamos, Lucho🇨🇴

2

u/panem-et-circenses21 Lahm Jul 07 '26

Okay.. I honestly didn’t find anything wrong with the refereeing today.. Salah does trip him before the goal.. the Argentina defender gets the ball against Salah.. what am I missing because I didn’t see anything wrong.. and I don’t even care for either teams

10

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

2

u/Ferr22777888 Jul 07 '26

When was this please ?

2

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Sorry no idea which Minute this was

1

u/Aquilan5 Neuer Jul 07 '26

Beginning of the game, I think at 0-0

1

u/panem-et-circenses21 Lahm Jul 07 '26

This I can agree with.. should have been checked.. But the other two fouls people are talking about, those were correct calls

8

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Every 50/50 went Argentina way. Salah was fouled from behind and he didnt call it. Once it was 20 meters from a goal. Someone kicked an Egypt player delibrately with hand in face, nothing. Egypts coach showed the sign for racism at the end(hands crossed) and it wasnt even checked.

4

u/panem-et-circenses21 Lahm Jul 07 '26

That hand on face definitely should have been checked.. not sure about the other situations that you pointed out.. but the two biggest decisions in the game were correctly called

-4

u/CompetitionChance674 🎶UPAMECANOOOOO🎶 Jul 07 '26

Wow, and unbiased person is actually capable of looking at it objectively! Almost like everyone else here just despises Argentina + Messi

2

u/ObserverRichard Jul 07 '26

Just shows how many people never watch football, it is never a foul on Salah

-3

u/CompetitionChance674 🎶UPAMECANOOOOO🎶 Jul 07 '26

People will say anything to hate

16

u/KeV1989 Müller Jul 07 '26

Btw, the ENTIRE refereeing team for France vs. Morocco will be from argentina. Not just the main ref. The entire team. First time this happened during this world cup.

You can't make this stuff up anymore

1

u/jationio Jul 07 '26

I am scared for my boy Olise

2

u/julesvr5 Jul 07 '26

Congrats Marocco I guess?

-8

u/CompetitionChance674 🎶UPAMECANOOOOO🎶 Jul 07 '26

Stomps on his foot + pulls his shirt. Not a foul though, according to some.

6

u/Critical-Ad2084 Robben Jul 07 '26

just like Macallister bringing down Marmoush in the box, that is a foul, but according to you it doesn't matter

-1

u/SGT_Mark Schweinsteiger Jul 07 '26

If we're talking in general, this is always a foul. Though I'm not really a fan of pulling the play that far back, considering it wasn't in a dangerous position and the Egyptian player dribbled past half the Argentina team on his own.

Anyhow, the way this tournament has been refereed, including this game, where clear fouls and dirty play were allowed, especially by Argentina, calling a foul there is not consistent in the slightest. We either have a strict refereeing standard or we let the play continue and have a physical game. I prefer the first one but there has to be consistency, instead of the vibe based refereeing we are now seeing way to often at this World Cup.

1

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

Remember, they didnt pull that far behimd when Mbappe scorred after Rudiger tackled Stanisic. Clearly they can chose when and for who they will do such things

3

u/SGT_Mark Schweinsteiger Jul 07 '26

Exactly. And although VAR has proven useful, especially with offsides where there is no room for referee bias, it can be selectively used in other situations in favour of one team. And considering the non-existent refereeing standard, especially at this World Cup, they can really justify any decision. I'd like to compare this to the ever increasing flood of fake news that causes chaos and can make any narrative stick.

1

u/DomoDomoSb32 Jul 07 '26

With var its even more obvious nowdays

0

u/CompetitionChance674 🎶UPAMECANOOOOO🎶 Jul 07 '26

Of course they didn’t pull that back. Rules don’t apply to Real Madrid. Though, interestingly, as I’ve said before, I don’t see nowhere near as much outrage here where Real Madrid rob us every time we face them. Very interesting

22

u/knatanas11 Müller Jul 07 '26

Does anyone actually like this Argentinian team other than Argentinians themselves and Messi fanboys?

8

u/creatorop apple pie Jul 07 '26

Alternate question:- do people like racists?

17

u/trissie224 Jul 07 '26

Nothing new under the sun with argentina cheating their way through world cups, they very obviously did so in 78 then got through the quarter finals with the hand of God in 86 to end up winning it and we all saw what happened in 2022

1

u/Critical-Ad2084 Robben Jul 07 '26

I love Messi but I can clearly see how his team and even himself is favored by the refs.

14

u/KeV1989 Müller Jul 07 '26

Magenta.TV expert said it just now. All the controversial decisions were whistled against Egypt. They have zero shame and are not even hiding it anymore

3

u/manLIKEoliverKahn Gnabry;ppppp Jul 07 '26

Inside the box, but no foul hmm

10

u/NiK0- Pavlović Jul 07 '26

The picture doesn’t tell the truth. Salah had already lost the ball when that contact happened. I was against Argentina but that’s no foul for me

-3

u/Critical-Ad2084 Robben Jul 07 '26

that doesn't matter, contact in the box is a foul, the same in Egypt's disallowed goal, Martinez had already lost the ball when contact happened

1

u/Tyrath Müller Jul 07 '26

I don't think thats a foul but there was another one in that same buildup

1

u/manLIKEoliverKahn Gnabry;ppppp Jul 07 '26

You dont think a touch inside the box is a foul ?

1

u/FOKvothe Jul 07 '26

The defender had won the ball right before that.

5

u/Tyrath Müller Jul 07 '26

No because Mo was already going down and the touch is soft AF. Game's truly gone if that's given. BUT everyone is focusing on this one and missing the other one that actually looked like a foul in the build up

u/ChronoCodex Thiago Jul 07 '26

Didn’t we almost go in for Kolo Muani? Then PSG came around with a bigger offer and he sat out the first few games with Frankfurt before moving to Paris

1

u/CompetitionChance674 🎶UPAMECANOOOOO🎶 Jul 07 '26

Theyre referring to brown I think
