SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

Can't stomach this fucking shit any more.

Penalty.

All day.

But no.....of course not.

Vite lost the ball before Mane grazed his shin.

 

Sane's favorite play seems to be running at pace with the ball down a wing right into a defender in order get dispossessed.

 

Well deserved win for Ecuador. Overall simply worked harder.

I'm not sure if the Ecuadorian keeper had anything to do other than handle some back passes.

 

That's it. They needed it more and acted accordingly. Very German in their approach.


Germany were disappointing and sloppy.

 

Sweden have the most interesting strip. Japan have the most boring strip.

 

I'm well familiar with the pragmatic German approach and all that. They're acting like it's the old days where they could often kick into higher gears if needed.

These modern sides just don't have that mentality or ability but approach games like they used to. It's why they were eliminated at the group stages twice. Only reason they are through is because the group was weak enough.

 

There's the other old theory too that "The Germans get better as the tournament goes on"

I don't think so this time

 

Who is Trae Young? I should give a fuck?

Also this:-

 

Save!!!

Good game this, Japan vs Sweden.

 

Celtic players bossing it on blue! 1-0 japs

 

Yep. He probably got an "appearance fee" to be there.

 

I wonder if master sushi chef could make surströmming appetizing.

 

Elanga appetites it

 

Beautifully done.

 

This is good football. Both sides really playing good football.

 

Lindeloff good smart run. Elanga bent it.

Actual thinking football.

 

Good save by the Japanese keeper. If wasn't alert it would have been in.

 

It must be time to interrupt the game now for drinky-poos and an introduction to some fucking point guard or defensive end.

The problem for Japan will always be simply getting outrun and out muscled. They can't afford to compound things by unforced errors.

 

Where was that version of Isak for Liverpool.














Oh that's right his leg was broken

 

Junior Ito is on. If he scores he will become Hero Hito.

 

I think it would be cool if after the game instead of swapping jerseys it was a Viking and Samurai sword.

(that are not replicas made in China)

 

Chinese stuff is good these days though.

 

Japan fading a bit. Silly fouls.

They will need a good finish. Try to nick it.

 

The camera showed a Japanese fan with a huge blue afro.

I suspect it was a wig.

 

You already got paid shilling for the Saudis. You don't need China's money too Beckham.

 

Just a reminder : Sweden went to the World Cup. Ireland did not.

Sweden will conceivably finish last on their qualifying group, second last in their tournament group....... AND STILL PROGRESS.

 

Why hasn't anybody called a doctor!!?

Oh right. Too costly.

Phone lines probably down anyways.
