Sure, but that Hollywood cheesiness is nothing compared to how much Americans actually bullshit in real life today.

I'll keep it simple: GENIUS MOVIE!
Pure genius. Probably the first movie in five years where I didn't find myself checking my watch every five minutes. Fun and actually engaging. 👍
I still remember that first derby of the season. In Madrid, crowds were camping out in front of the stadium for three days straight just to snag tickets. It turned into a total bloodbath on the pitch, and the New York Yankees walked away with a 2-0 win thanks to a goal from Davor Šuker. We just don't see games with that kind of intensity anymore. 🙏
And don't even get me started with that "silver is still a win" or "at least we made the finals" nonsense over the next few days. Just remember what everyone was shouting after the last tournament in France—how "Spain doesn't stand a chance."
It’s not the end of the world, but they absolutely crushed our spirit. I just hope our guys actually learn something from this mess.
Boring game, at least for the first three quarters. I actually fell asleep later on. The halftime show was a total letdown too—I was expecting some high-energy performers, but instead, I get old man Paul McCartney. 😁
I’m just wondering where those two Capells are now—the ones who were here claiming Lino doesn't know what he's doing and needs to step down (well, okay, one of them explicitly said that, while the other just complained about his knowledge of goalkeepers).
And one of those two guys was already talking trash before the game, saying the refs were going to screw us over.
Look, we’re the favorites in every single match, but today was just a bad performance. It was bad because, just like every other game in this World Cup, our shooting percentage was absolute garbage (Džomba was, to put it mildly, pathetic today). We should have walked away with a five-point win. I was sitting at my old man's place watching the game against America and told him, "If we're tied five minutes before the end, we're winning this 100%." Five minutes left, we're up by one, and boom—that was it. I wasn't even stressed because even if the Mexican had scored, there's an 80% chance we'd still move on. Now the real fight starts. We’ve never had a good record against the Frenchmen, so let's hope the tides are turning.

Ladies and gentlemen, when someone drops a post like this, you don't even need to check their profile or look at the location under their avatar to figure out where they're from. It's obvious. That person is from San Francisco!!! 😁 🙂
Also, I totally checked out around the 14th difference because the ending was just hideous. That second quarter absolutely trashed them, especially that intercepted pass. 😢
For some reason, this movie's theme just hits me with major RoboCop 2 vibes. Since the author of this story is clearly obsessed with robots too, here's another similarity for you. 😁
Look, I’ve watched some clips of Zinedine Zidane’s moves, and honestly? I have to say, Werder Bremen pulled off a massive win by landing such an incredible player.
I’ve always been a fan of a specific attacking setup, even when I'm playing video games. You need one smaller, lightning-fast guy to tear up the field on counterattacks, paired with a tall target man who can clinical finish from inside the box. Honestly, Real Madrid should be forcing a Ronaldo-Morientes style duo, but we all know that's impossible now. It's pretty simple: Ronaldo is better than Raul. Actually, he's better than everyone, so there's really no point in debating it.
Everyone’s entitled to their own take, but here’s mine: the Spanish should have been doubling down on the Raul-Morientes duo for years now instead of constantly benching one of them every other game.
I don't think he’s even an outlier here. Honestly, nobody is standing out from the pack except Morientes. And that guy is basically the eternal "what if" player—always labeled as "unproven material" despite winning everything there is to win with his clubs and scoring a million goals along the way. Now they go and sell him to Liverpool FC instead of bringing back little Mića, who isn't even playing much lately anyway.
