World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

Jurgen the German said:
I think they crossed the line on more than one occasion, and the officials allowed them to keep doing it. If the referee books players early and consistently, it usually puts a stop to it. Instead, France eventually reacted and ended up with three bookings themselves.

I watch football because I enjoy seeing skilful players score great goals, produce brilliant passes, and find ways to unlock stubborn defences. I'm not against great defending at all, but attacking quality is what makes the game special for me. I don't want to tune into the World Cup final in two weeks' time only to find the spectacle diminished because players like Messi or Mbappé have been kicked out of the tournament through cynical, overly physical play.

By all means, don’t make life easy for the best players—but don't reward thuggery. Paraguay got what they deserved last night: nothing.

Exactly though, France reacted, tremendous plan that paid off for them at the time, overall though they came up short.

I like both TBH, its a battle of styles, I have not really enjoyed seeing teams beaten by 3/4 goals because everyone adopting the same style against France, last nights game was the best I saw them involved in because it was a battle and the better side came out as winners. All in all, enjoyable
 
When you reach the point where getting a result is all that matters you're not in a sporting contest. You're just doing a job and ripping off most of the people paying to watch. It's difficult for some people to grasp the idea of fair play and respecting your opponents. I just despair for the future good manners and respect for others are redundant in this century irrespective of age, nationality, race, gender.
