Certainly, but most people here are disappointed. They think it would be different with Neymar or that the best players weren't called up. Honestly, if we were close to the form we were in 2018, I'd already be satisfied.
But I can't judge either; football is a national pride. 

Poland score , 1-1 with Albania.

beats  2-1 after another unconvincing performance for large parts.

Anyway I won't watch too many WC matches this edition due to time zone, at least I will sleep well

First do or die for  . Another WC without them would be a nightmare. 

Our media kept telling us two weeks in a row that Turkyie has super-mega-stars of the world and they weren't capable to score a normal goal. Our defenders slept at Guler's pass to Kadioglu and that was it. I hope Slovakia will beat them in the next play-off. About Romania vs Kosovo (most likely), friendly match which will be played on 31st March: WHO TF CARES ABOUT A FRIENDLY MATCH AGAINST KOSOVO?   GOOO SLOVAKIA

Giorgia Meloni is no longer unbeatable.

some changes in the team and less importance to the sport, the two big teams until 2022/2023 ( and ) in south america started to decrease a lot and in the other hand the 3rd in South America () is growing a lot, is really impressive. We are currently the favourites for the LA2028 quota

What happened to Brazil's women's team? On the other hand it looks like Argentina may be the top South American team on the women's side. Defeating Spain, China and South Africa was unlikely up until this year

A complete and utter joke. Morocco will be forever mocked for this "success" and rightfully so. Can't take African football seriously... again.

Cant take this sport seriously 

Morocco gets awarded win in the tournament by 3-0, CAF decided to about walkover because Senegalese players did leave the pitch during match.

This is the biggest joke I have seen. 

So Reagan was right in 80s?

NEXT: 2026 SVNS World Championship #1/3 in Hong Kong  (April 17-19, 2026)

Chile laying a claim to be the authentic successor state to the Inca Empire, famous for wall building?  Kind of like the quarrel between  &  over who are the authentic heirs of Alexander the Great. 
 

Last week of the electoral campaign in Italy for the referendum on the organization of the judicial system—a constitutional reform that separates the careers of judges and public prosecutors (their functions are already separate; the reform would only change the structure of the judiciary).
It’s a crazy campaign, with terrible propaganda on both sides, but it could become the first major electoral defeat for Giorgia Meloni.
As for me, it will be a week on the road across Italy—between Campania, Basilicata, and Puglia. A lot of kilometers ahead of me
