Curacao's goal came eight after restarting from a freekick. Germany 4-4-2 block Fantastic diagonal switch to far side draws backline wide opening gaps. Run behind Wirtz to receive. Curacao quickly attacks the space behind the backline. I think the Germans were caught unaware

Livano Comenencia has just done what Emmanuel Sanon of Haiti did in 1974. Score his nations first ever World Cup goal by getting the ball past a legendary goalkeeper Sanon(1974), Dino Zoff Comenencia(2026), Manuel Neuer 🇭🇹🇨🇼 #ANFWC

Unlike most people, I’m not going to be revisionist about Cristiano Ronaldo’s career. Up until around 33–34, before he fully transitioned into a more traditional Center Forward, there wasn’t a player in world football who combined speed, dribbling, finishing, and complete dominance across all areas of the final third the way he did. Left, right, centrally, in transition or against set defenses, Ronaldo had both the tools and the effectiveness. And for me, a career up to 34 playing at that level is more than enough of a sample size to define a player at their truest level. For context, Ronaldinho was largely done by 30. Marco van Basten by 28. Diego Maradona declined in his mid-30s. Johan Cruyff in his late 30s. Di Asa Ronaldo was done by 34. So the fact that Ronaldo not only sustained elite output up to that point, but then reinvented his entire game and continued dominating with a completely different approach after 34 is something we’ve never really seen before. For me, that combination of peak completeness and post-peak adaptation is enough to call him the GOAT. Forever.

We're back again ❤️

Ghana was present at the #2026worldcup

The story of the opener tactically for me was South Africa’s expnasive build-up. It felt like they positioned every player as far as possible. The keeper became a central defender in deep build up with the other centre back pushing wide. Often a single pivot ahead of them and fullbacks wide too. Now this did pose interesting questions for Mexico, a pressing side. Mexico were unable to press and get out the South African players especially when it was shifted wide because the space they had to press was bigger. But the tradeoff was that the distances for passing were bigger increasing the likelihood for a turnover. The single pivot centrally was an easier trigger and in a more dangerous area if the ball was lost (which is what happened) and South African moved to a more double pivot after it. The lack of quality on the ball made building up in this riskier was less viable and more likely to result in losing the ball. But it’s a pretty novel and fun idea vs pressing sides. A better side on the ball might be able to extract the benefits of it even if it is risky.
