Having a bunch of fat, drunk ,chavs sing Oasis in your vaunted, legendary home stadium after they beat you playing half the game shorthanded is a top 7 humiliating sports moment of the last 3 half decades.
It just is.

Norway players and fans doing Viking Row after their victory over Brazil in the World Cup
The Mexican crowd got tight at Azteca stadium because they remembered Hernan Cortes overthrowing the Aztec Empire.

For the people who follow soccer closely, is there a reason Brazil has gone downhill?
Or is it just bad luck?
And if you're *really* knowledgeable can you answer the same question about Italy and Germany lol
Soccer is the one sport where you can say the losing team was the better team without sounding like a whiny loser
Everyone clowned on the Cavs for their analytical series win (rightfully so) but sometimes it’s the right take in soccer.
Let’s see if MX can be the better team AND get the win in the second half!
Brazil getting knocked out of the World Cup hits just like Duke getting knocked out of the tourney
Same entitled energy. And it only happens every four years, so it’s an even more concentrated high.
Kier Starmer doesn't have the rizz to rescind that, he just doesn't.
You shouldn't force your PM to resign during the World Cup.

reddit.comIf you don't know about how baseball is currently being managed, look no further than the Marlins/A's game from today
Eury Pérez had pitched a perfect game through 7 innings with just 92 pitches. However the manager took him out after 7 to protect his arm or something. Marlins were winning 8-0, and won 9-8 after almost an all time collapse by the bullpen. You wouldn't see this 20 years ago.
I love when a great game on paper lives up to expectations
First half of Mexico-England was electric holy shit
