2 missed their chances.
Got knocked out by the Mexicans. Just watched the match. Losing to them in Italy—now that’s a massive embarrassment.
Too bad the Mexicans got bounced by Portugal right after.
Nobody plays 4-4-2 anymore...
For instance...
People are bringing up Wales and all that.
What can you even say about Iceland 😁
Only 500,000 people living there 😁

Look at Italy, for instance—they aren't even playing. And they haven't been for a while.
The Dutch are in the same boat.

The evolution of players and the game itself...
I read this on some foreign forum ages ago—someone actually predicted a team (they were thinking of Los Angeles) would emerge that acts like a pure goal machine.
That’s just where the sport is headed.
Especially after we move past this whole "physicality-first" era...

I feel like we’re missing a thread like this here.
It isn't just about being nostalgic.
It's more that soccer—the whole game—has taken hits and is constantly shifting.
Trends cycle back.
And they keep introducing new stuff.

We could've set up a fantasy league.

Panthers.
Patriots. Just when you think they can't get any worse—they find a way.
Jaguars.
Chargers.
Packers.
Buccaneers
