Era gol

>>149725462 (OP)
No fucking way it was almost 16 years ago, 5 wc ago????? How times flies so fast after covid, like 2022 Qatar riggi wc was like just on December, boom we are at 2026 wc already????

>>149725462 (OP)
Kino moment

>>149725522
The 2022 World Cup ended 2 year and 6 months ago only.

>Robben who missed the big chance also made a big blunder here

kek wab

>>149725462 (OP)
I was 4 and don't remember anything about this match but my dad says I was there watching it with him

and you killed football in the process, thanks paella munchers

>>149727058
>Robben who missed the big chance
Such a dumb fuck for that

Reminder that Mexico should have been there.

>>149727255
they were
they served the tables in the vip area

>>149727255
We were fucking robbed against argentina with that offside goal but it was very nice seeing pissi and those argies get rekt 4-0 by Germany and Muller.

>>149727283
lmao

In terms of quality matches 2010 was much worse than 2006 and 2014 but the atmosphere was kino. Waka waka, vuvuzelas, jabulani, Paul the Octopus, etc.

>>149725462 (OP)
It was rigged (just like every professional sports event ever). The Netherlands should have had a corner, but the bald fraud Howard Webb awarded a goal kick to Spain instead, and they scored. What a fucking disgrace.

>>149729111
You are delusional, the Netherlands should have received at least 2 red cards in that game.

>>149729111
If it was rigged for Spain then De Jong wouldn't have got away with the kung fu kick to Alonso's chest lol

>>149727283
keeeeeeeeeek

>>149725462 (OP)
Sloppy passing from Spain, shit defending from Holland. Complete sloppy shit

>>149727341
>we
Also nobody in Argentina remembers that anymore, meanwhile apparent chicanos still remember it like they won the WC

>>149725462 (OP)
Catalans desu, literally Barvelona won the world cup

>>149729574
Dr Fuentes won that world cup.

>>149729604
I’m not giving Barcelona any praise, that goal against Portugal was clearly offside. And desu Tiki Taka wouldn’t have become a thing without shady refereeing

>>149729650
They have always relied on refs
>>149729604
This

>>149729604
>>149729824
Problem?

>>149725462 (OP)
Prime Barca, Prime Spain

this was 15 years ago but you wouldnt be able to tell when it took place if you werent familiar with football , but when you look at euro 96 or world cup 94 and compare it with world cup 2006 or even euro 2004 it feels, to anyone, as if 40 years have passed between those competitions

>>149725462 (OP)
This was the most boring WC final of all time. But I guess for others 2014 was just as boring, so I understand if you're from spain you probably enjoyed it

>>149727283
jjajajaj

>>149727196
The guy watching it next to me in amsterdam was on magic mushrooms and insited throughout the match that iniesta was some kind of demon

>>149727233
This was the era that ned abandoned their pretty football which was part of their identity up until this period of time

>>149731413
86 was the only final I remember enjoying

>>149730788
This. They were so good they really deserved that world cup.

>>149725462 (OP)
Imagine being Spanish at this precise moment. Imagine being dutch at this precise moment.

>>149727255
We're only there when the world needs us.

>>149732107
You mean when the world needs a laugh?

>>149732124
>Po lil angry Anglo

Something like that, big boy

>>149727196
>I was 4
what the fuck I was getting smashed in walkabout

>>149725462 (OP)
stunning

>>149727196
I was 6 and my dad threw me into a fountain to celebrate.

those 4 years from 2008 to 2012 where Spain were doped out of their minds were indeed very weird
especially since several of their doctors got convinced for doping

>>149732735
you were expected to stay there

>>149725462 (OP)
This was fixed for Messi

>>149732056
you didn't enjoy 2022

>>149732735
I was 16.

>>149733185
Yes, that slipped my mind but 22 was pretty good

>>149732735
based dad
you have to cherish those

>>149727233
it was literally possession catenaccio lol, italy is to blame

>>149725462 (OP)
More like your country put the last pike in Football. Shit hasn't been watchable since then.

>>149725522
>2022 Qatar riggi
Yeah FIFA paid Kolo Muani to miss a 1v1...Haha cry forever

>>149725462 (OP)
>>149727233
I never thought I'd miss 4-4-2 formation. Sucks that every team now plays the exact same way. At least before 2009, there was always variation. I doze off watching modern football because no team has an identity that doesn't look like they're trying to copy 2010 Spain...I guess current PSG look fun, but that's it.

>>149734616
4-1-4-1 is the only way to play football

>>149732138
Lol whenever I feel down I remind myself that I'm not Mexican to instantly improve my mood kek

>>149727283
Hahahaha SHITcanos btfo

>>149734981
But then you remember the abundance of jeets that replaced you

>>149725462 (OP)
What the fuck, why is literally NO ONE marking Iniesta? He's open all the fucking time. Nobody goes man on man on him. Dutch players are all slow as fuck, you could put this a black and white filter and I'd buy it's 1950s plumberball footage.

>>149738399
after the whole season plus the whole tournament plus playing overtime might be the reason they dont look so fresh...

>>149738399
The captain was marking him

>>149732025
He was right

>>149725462 (OP)
>115 min
Why are world cups always such pussy football?
Every Final should be an exceeding of skill like France-Argentina instead of a loss of skill. Whats the point of these tournaments otherwise?

>>149725462 (OP)
feels like it was yesterday desu, time really flies huh

>>149725462 (OP)
>Number 17, blackie, Eljero Elia
him jsut standing there while the defender jumps, falls and tries to catch iniesta again is state treason.

>>149727283
BWAHHAHAHAHHAA

>>149725522
Time flies when you are dying in a ditch, fighting hohols...

>>149738458
That period was the death of Total Football and NL never got it back

This one
>>149732025

>>149727196
I was 16 and after the game I banged some 5/10 bitch but with 11/10 tiddies.
Completely worth it, thanks Iniesta for yet another unsung assist

>>149725462 (OP)
years of tiki taka just to win with a counter attack kek

>>149725462 (OP)
What's with the sp*nish inferiority complex to the Dutch?

>>149740317
inferiority? they colonized the dutch

>>149741212
I'm getting tired of this twitterspeak manner of naming any sort of unsymmetrical political relationship "colonization".

I think they were taking steroids. That's not normal.

>>149725462 (OP)
>recovers a ball and gives a clean pass to maintain possession
>immediately positions himself better than any striker
>makes a decent control for a shit pass under pressure and finishes as quickly as possible
Iniesta truly was the GOAT

Root for Argentina in QF, they lose
Root for Germany in SF, they lose
Root for the neverlands in the final, they lose
(I'm really sorry to all three teams and the mufa I brought, literally nothing went my way that year and I'm not talking only about the WC)
>14
Root for Germany after Japan gets eliminated, they win

Root for France after Japan gets eliminated, they win

Root for Argentina after Japan gets eliminated, they win

For the record (and assuming they qualify, which they probably will) I'll probably be rooting for Portugal in the case the Japan gets eliminated in '26

>>149741274
But that's true.

>>149742329
If we follow the pattern, 2026 would be your mufa year though
How have things been going this year for you anon?

>>149741516
>i think

Spain Futbol team 2008-2012 is my magnus opus.

>>149742470
This year has been quite alright, who knows about next year though

>>149725462 (OP)
Reminder uruguai was refballed

>>149739567
Nice. made me lol.

>>149727283
FATALITY

>>149742425
It's not a colony. This land was inherited by Spanish Habsburgs. And there was no mass settlement wave of Spaniards in Belgium as far as I know.

>>149740317
we live rent free in dutchies heads

>>149727196
you have to go back

>>149742470
>pattern
Good point anon, but not necessarily. We can't be sure that 10 wasn't just a random happening which will be repeated. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Maybe Japan wins 26

>>149759254
Yes they profess their German bloed and honour the king of Spain.

>>149734564
they rigged it by asking deschamps to play this shitter when he could have selected the great martin terrier who would have never missed it

>>149725462 (OP)
Life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

>>149725462 (OP)
PWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>149740317
We didn't care about the Habsburg chimpouts like they did

>>149727196
i was 15 and i have no memory of that WC

>>149738399
We were playing with 10 and had no special doctor. Also defenders moved up front for a corner that wasn't given.
