Yeah, definitely. Ever since PSG replaced him with Donnarumma, he’s just not getting the consistent playtime to be in form. Plus I heard US commentators mention he’s struggled with a back injury lately.
That's putting it lightly. We live and breathe football here - this will literally devastate morale nationwide. It will have legitimate social consequences (e.g. there's a history of spikes in domestic violence, drunk driving, vandalism, etc whenever things like this happen to the NT).
It is. But this is a new thing. Germany vs Japan had a total of 24 extra minutes (14+10) I don't know what the fuck are they doing with the added time. Yesterday it was too much, but I don't think the referee could just have added 2 or 3 (new rules in this WC, Idk if the extra time is one of these)
Gavi went from not being able to pick a pass in the first half to just dominating in the second half. Feel bad for CR, but Navas having not played since June has really shown. Good win for Spain and start the WC, the youngsters looked great. Pedri, Gavi, Balde will be playing in hopefully a lot more of these
Navas chose that fate for himself. He knew before the season started he was getting benched and decided to stay, cash that PSG check every month, not show up to any NT match, making up injuries for every match, getting complacent and letting his level drop. He knows he's on the way out and doesn't feel like putting any effort into stopping it - I think he just wants a couple easy years making as much money as possible and then call it a day.
Yeah the part where in the tournament arc where the protags watch the big bad wipe out another crew. And they gave said crew generic designs so you know they're fucked.
It means the ball is "in contest", e.g. after a duel when no one fully controls the ball yet. Although in the case of this game Spain is usually in control even when the ball is loose.
If goal difference matters then it Shouldn’t matter if it’s a blowout. PSG and Benfica in the CL is an example of why all games should be treated the same.
in all honesty I expect canada to lose but not nearly as horrifically as costa rica just did. its cliche but participating in the world cup for the first time in my life at 27 it feels good to just be part of the club this time. hopefully something to build off of in 2026
The subs has been horriblem
Asensio missing for fun
Spain took the piss
Ok chat, 1,000 more subs and we'll score 3 more!
when i watching comments here I feel like I am watching different match XD
Without a hint of hyperbole, that's probably the most dominant performance I've ever seen. 82% possession. No shots whatsoever for the other team.
Watch Psv feyenoord 2010
I completely forgot that Keylor Navas is the GK for Costa Rica. Has he just dropped off lately?
Navas sucks. They give him to much credit .
He stays on the bench for psg. Not kidding if he was playing against real madrid in ucl. They wouldn’t have lost
Injured forever
Yeah, definitely. Ever since PSG replaced him with Donnarumma, he’s just not getting the consistent playtime to be in form. Plus I heard US commentators mention he’s struggled with a back injury lately.
Spain vs Brazil. Thoughts?
Possible quarterfinal match if we both win our groups
Would not rule out Argentina just yet - Would not rule out the dutch either. They will be a tough team to score against.
Spain vs Brazil was the betting pick in both 2010 and 2014.
Need to see Brazil first bro
I am proud of this team standing up for human rights and free speech by boycotting this World Cup!
joining us in solidarity
Spain are my favorites as of now
Why did Spain never call up Iñaki Williams? I think he’s the most complete Spanish striker currently
He really isn't.
He plays for Ghana :(
If Saudi’s added a Holiday Costa Rica need to take one away.
Straight to jail
weekend is cancelled!
Ferran Torres? Or Fernando torres?
Yes
Ferrán Torres.
Pura Vidaaaa
Legend has it Spain are still scoring goals against Costa Rica
Luis Enrique will stop streaming on Twitch and go to Onlyfans... damn.
F in chat for cosra rica
F
Cos7a rica
Vamosss
Brave of you to be typing in Costa Rican after that match
Refs been adding a lot of extra minutes almost every match. I think it is good.
It's going to help against all the shit housing teams. Atletico's nightmare is this timekeeping.
Lucho start the fucking stream.
Good 'nuff
Costa Rica the only team to not have a single shot in WC history since they also did that themselves in 1990
Want Spain to run the 7-1 train on Germany now😈
Found the Brazilian
Nacho Vidal vs Katja Kassan
They already did 6-0.
Please Canada, don't let Concacaf be the Cup's bitch
Always has been
Update: my buddy talked to crying Costa Rica smoke show and she is gonna watch the Canada game with us 😂
Niiiice
how much crying can she bear for a day xD
1056 passes
That's a world cup record
World Record!
Spain remember that signs of affection (fuck) in public are illegal!!!
Pura vida
That was such a dominant performance by Spain 🇪🇸 👏
spain had 7 shots each on and off target and 7 goals
That last goal scored by no.7
Spain had 1,043 passes in regulation time. That has to be some sort of record, WC or otherwise, right?
it's a world cup record now
I remember Bayern had a match with over 1000. Don’t remember the exact number but Lahm had like 130 of the passes completed.
Tiki Taka reborn lmao.
Holy shit
Costa Rica: Today I feel destroyed
That's putting it lightly. We live and breathe football here - this will literally devastate morale nationwide. It will have legitimate social consequences (e.g. there's a history of spikes in domestic violence, drunk driving, vandalism, etc whenever things like this happen to the NT).
Spain havent owned Costa Rica this hard since the conquistadores 😔
stadium is empty wtf
This iteration of Costa Rica are unfortunately a rather poor team benefitting from where they are in the world.
They had to beat New Zealand in a play off
Spain got that dawg in them.
We always do 🙌 Football is seriously in our blood, brother.
fuck the ref, adding 8 minutes, savage sob, you've made this, you've made:
It is. But this is a new thing. Germany vs Japan had a total of 24 extra minutes (14+10) I don't know what the fuck are they doing with the added time. Yesterday it was too much, but I don't think the referee could just have added 2 or 3 (new rules in this WC, Idk if the extra time is one of these)
Gavi went from not being able to pick a pass in the first half to just dominating in the second half. Feel bad for CR, but Navas having not played since June has really shown.

is that the anime introduction of the new villain after germany?
Yeah the part where in the tournament arc where the protags watch the big bad wipe out another crew. And they gave said crew generic designs so you know they're fucked.
Zero shots from Costa Rica. That's just embarassing even if you're playing against Spain.
It is, lmao, I remember that in 2014 they were the cool underdog, but I guess it was just hype
Possession Spain 72% - 18% Costa Rica , 10% "disputed"
It means the ball is "in contest", e.g. after a duel when no one fully controls the ball yet. Although in the case of this game Spain is usually in control even when the ball is loose.
10% was picking the ball out of the net
Credits where credits is due spain played efficient today, think they are the favorite after today.
Spain just making sure, the opposition won’t come from behind
It was touch and go for a while
Qatari cops ready to arrest the spainards because this kind of assfucking is illegal
😭😭
Too much signs of affection,call the qarari cops
Spain smacked CR so hard it probably transferred their lisp to them.
All have to pronounce Barcelona the spain way
That was like watching Real Madrid v DC United
*Barca
Man that one was down to the wire, was about to put a last minute bet on Costa Rica to mount a come back in the final 15 but held off
I get the crackdown on time wasting and shit, but 8 minutes was a little cruel
If goal difference matters then it Shouldn’t matter if it’s a blowout. PSG and Benfica in the CL is an example of why all games should be treated the same.
it's just consistent
Yeah I don’t like seeing blowouts be extended, 3 minutes should have been the added time
Germany might shitting their pants. That was brutal to watch
Nah, I've already accepted that we will boycott Qatar after the Groups.
So no upset then?
It happened already
Costa Rica are plenty upset
Nope 🤣
Well if Japan-san beats CR (strong feeling they will), Germany will be in big trouble 😱
Today I feel bored
Its funnier to lose against Saudi Arabia right? hahaha
Better than yesterday tho for you
If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with putin and hitler and luis fernando suarez,I would shoot suarez twice.
Only one team in the field
i can understand spain not stopping the beating they've given especially with the japan result
Respecting your oponent means playing at 100% and giving your best no matter what
No mercy in the WC
Let's go Canada we got this
Lol
Almost 1000 completed passes wow
mah gawd, they killed him. What a hopeless display on the world stage. I feel bad for any CR fans who made the trek to Qatar to watch that!!!
I feel really bad for the thousands of Costa Ricans who'll have to pay off their credit card debt for years just to go witness that live.
Think Spain just missed 1000 completed passes 😳
1056 pases, new world record (inside and outside WC, old record was 1033 from 2014, in the Bundesliga)
i think they did that 2018 when they passed themselves to death
Setien would nut reading this
Who you guys reckon for Belgium and Canada?
Belgium 2-1 or 2-0
draw or canada win
Either 1-1 or 2-1 Belgium
0-0, I don't see Canada scoring, and I don't think Belgium as it used to be
1-0 hazard goal lfg
0-0
in all honesty I expect canada to lose but not nearly as horrifically as costa rica just did. its cliche but participating in the world cup for the first time in my life at 27 it feels good to just be part of the club this time. hopefully something to build off of in 2026
Spains future, it's unfair.
geez
Costa Rica got their cheeks clapped in Pound Town, Spain.
Well Qatar is no longer the most helpless team of the tournament.
imagine if Qatar had to play Spain..
the white stuff reffree spray, is that paint, does that go off after a while?
Gillette shaving cream. They are WC sponsors.
It’s a foam
Yes
Nope, it’s there forever
It’s foam that does indeed go away
It's like shaving cream foam. It goes away.
it dissolves
the decline of navas is sad to see
Sadly he didn't get much game time in PSG
Scoreline felt more than 7-0 to be honest lol
90 minute training session
Spain look amazing but gavi such an annoying little shit
Best thing about Gavi is the fight in him
Love him tbh, lads like a little Pitbull who can pirouette
Gavi has that dawg in him
Holy shit Spain, they’re already dead you can stop now
Don’t worry Costa Rica, you’ll get em next time for sure
That was painful
Even as a neutral
Dollaruma will use this match for propaganda purposes
At least Navas made it to the WC
god, id say i was happy but i feel like that’s sadistic at this point
Gavi has a fucking ENGINE on him
Wow, I had written off Spain to be knocked out in the quarter finals.
Most of us did. Their last two cup performances were horrendous.
Its kinda sad tbh lol
costa rica said: today i feel iran
they sure did some running
Nah they at least scored 2
Germany needs to beat Spain and Costa Rica to have a chance to advance. Clearly can’t rely on Costa Rica to steal a point against Japan.
Yeah, I do think Japan and Spain will advance as well. I'm sure Germany is shitting their pants after that game. This is coming from Germany fan
What a dog fight that was
This was a massacre
FIFA needs to field more CONCACAF referees and linesmen to make Costa Rica look a little competent in comparison.
Spanish Cup
Spain is a scary team
And this is the Spanish team with their "core" in their teens. Imagine them in the next few World Cups. Damn.
Costa Rica vs 16th century spain
NOBODY EXPECTED IT
