Goals in World Cup final without France in it since 1998 (3 finals): 4 Goals in World Cup final with France in it since 1998 (4 finals): 17 People should hope for us to reach the final every time just for spectacle alone tbh

An appreciation post for Randal Kolo Muani who I've watched grow as a player over the last few years and comes into this game to be arguably the best French player on the pitch and was an absolutely staggering save from Martinez away from giving France its third World Cup. He also scored his...

3 on 3 in watching my team lose a final after regular time

Those quarterfinals were beautiful. Each of them were memorable in their own way and each reminded of this basic fact: the World Cup belongs to the winner. Those cutthroat games very close to each other are what make this competition unique, cruel and beautiful. For big nations like England...

In 2018 Brazil was eliminated by a Belgian team that was better than them, this time Croatia wasn't better than Brazil and their elimination is more of a statistical anomaly than anything else. That being said, they did absolutely everything they could have done to get the boot between that goal...

You are five minutes away from a world cup semi-final and you're leading 1-0, what do you do? answer A: You keep the ball for yourself and are pragmatic answer B: You attack like you were led 0-2 and open yourself to counterattacks you defend in inferiority like 10 year olds. Brazil:

Spain about to dread penalty shootouts about as much as England used to before the 2018 WC lmao. Fantastic night for Morocco!

I am grumpy because I was having my 3-0 bet for France correct and suddenly the referee decided he wanted to take it away from me! Mbappé's second goal is an absolute stunner, more than the trajectory it's the speed of execution that was most impressive to me. I've seen him score similar goal...

I am really not good with predicts huh. Well anyway I'll give it a go: Netherlands vs USA: Match of outsiders here and I have to give the edge to the Netherlands who look superior both collectively and individually. I remember the Euro the Netherlands did and they were eliminated in the round...

De Bruyne said before the tournament (way before, in fairness) that Belgium had no shot at winning despite having a good team because they were too old but Belgium exiting the tournament before the rounds of 16 is nonetheless a huge blow to this team. One can appreciate De Bruyne's honesty but...

BW UU's matchup moth :ss/venomoth: (I'm using a modern model because the bw sprite doesn't loop perfectly and i hate it, don't mind it) In recent times I've been wanting to write more about this tier, in large part because I think it is in a pretty good state right now and that's a nice change...

Gotta like some good ol' lefties protect, passive Slowking. Also know as the only one this list that doesn't let keldeo potentially style on it

I think you forgot 2 suggested checks in Life Orb Reuniclus and Mew as well as Sableye as a counter.

:ss/slowbro-galar: What effect did Pokémon have on the metagame? Lasting only a little more than three weeks in the tier, Slowbro-Galar's (or Glowbro, affectionally) tenure in NU was short-lived but it was certainly eventful. It fell to the tier during the first shift of December 2020...

Monky

With BW UU finally a monthly ladder I thought I would finally have an opportunity to share some sets I've been using or thinking about as fun or worth exploring in the current meta. I obviously can't say in good faith these sets will be mine and when I can I'll give credit but I haven't been...

Why was Nidoqueen unranked? What motivated it being unranked over pokes under it like Mantine, Froslass and Seismitoad?
