Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
I am not a soccer fan or care about it much, but my country lost 7 - 0 in their first match. I could not find a better meme than this:

They have their next game in some hours and do not expect anything more than to lose again.

Well, I wish them luck.

It's crazy to think that they made it to the quarter finals back in 2014, I was rooting for them, they had a great run. Two games away from being in the final

Argentina was playing jack until the goal. How the hell they let Messi completely free to kick from there?

Sorry Mexican friends but your team is simply awful with that inexistent middle field.

I know Argentina is good, but Mexico play must had been the worst team out of all the matches I've seen. They got no flow and never seemed to run hard. They all seem to be short too as the Argentina players almost always jumped and headed the ball over them.

Indeed, but that was because the guy behind them (coach) make them earn the "money", but what they did do to him after that? Complained he was too strict, he did not let them do what they wanted and kicked him out in disgrace, and pretty much backstabbed him. After that, this is what is left.

Wow, surprise, CR winning 1-0 in 87th minute.

And it's final now. What a rebound. Who could have expected that after the 7-0 thrashing Spain put on them.

gg Witsel still playing for us... man has been done for ages. Slow play again. Also thorgan Hazard instead of Trossard is disgusting. If I was Trossard I'd just tell Martinez to suck a.dick and go back home.

The one thing I noticed from watching these games is the players constantly falling over. It seems like every minute one of them is rolling on the ground holding their knee after being tapped on the shoulder. I don't get it. Ain't these guys supposed to be top athletes?

Soccer is a physical contact sport, when you run at full speed and on top of that you have to control the ball with your legs it is very easy to lose your balance even if someone only slightly collides with you.

Well, it is exaggerated and some teams do it worse (better?) than others. It is to put pressure against the referee. Although it is pointless now with VAR but they keep doing it anyways for some reason.

Give credit where credit is due but you have to admit that Canada was really good against Belgium and at every right to win that game so it's easy to call their defense garbage but while giving Croatia credit is good it doesn't necessarily invalidate Canada.

Their defense was extremely suspect against Belgium too. They had as much of a chance to win it as lose by 3-0.
