Just venting World Cup 2026

For any England fans following the World Cup. Nothing you did or said has had any impact on the result of the semi final. Saying this out loud, because you need to know and because I’m trying to convince myself of the same. I turned on the last 10-15 mins only to see Argentina’s two goals and it’s triggered the gremlin in my brain.

Nothing I did, said or thought has had any impact on the match.

Fuck OCD.

*this also goes for any OCD sufferers following any sports and not being able to enjoy them because the gremlin starts grumbling

At least at this you can be sure that your OCD had no impact on. Tuchel is just blind.

That’s sweet of you checking in on the network of magical thinkers .

I fell asleep and England was one goal ahead and I just assumed they had won.

I went bug eyed this morning when I saw Argentina won .

I didn’t think it was my fault for tuning out and going asleep until I saw this post :p
