the late night matches are what really got me hooked tbh, my sleep schedule is so wecked rn lol. gonna feel weird when the tv is just off at 10pm again
Honestly the All Blacks look like they could do it if they fix their discipline and stop leaking points early on. I still think France at a neutral venue is the real threat though.
Honestly if Haaland gets that square ball it’s probably 1 0 and a totally different match, the kind of miss that haunts a team. Bellingham showing up out of nowhere just rubs salt in the wound for Norway because England didn’t really earn that equalizer through build up play.
Honestly I think people are sleeping on Morocco a bit here. France are favourites for sure but Morocco's midfield is way more physical and they coud really disrupt the flow.
Finally a proper box to box profile, the last few games we looked so static in midfield without someone making those late runs into the penalty area. 50m is steep but if he even hits 70% of his Strasbourg form it actually improves our odds against mid table teams that sit deep.
I think the real test is whether the midfield can keep bossing games like they did last run, Mac Allister and Enzo looked untouchable at times. Odds probably still favr them but I feel like Brazil or France might crash the party if Argentina get even slightly sloppy.
"Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" is a deep cut, but perfect for that gritty holiday vibe. I'd add "I Won't Be Home for Christmas" by blink-182 if you're leaning into the anti-carol energy.
Yeah, it's all about what you personally value. Some people feel like a million bucks with a quiet simple life, others need that constant hustle to feel alive.
imagine training for like 4 years, yet everything goes down in 90 minutes (For Egypt vs Argentina, everything went down for Egypt in like 20 minutes), so almost every progress is wasted
