World Cup: Group E: Ecuador vs. Curacao, 6/20/2026

I don't think I've ever seen a play where it could simultaneously be the highlight of the night and the blooper of the night.

I hope that women posts the video of herself getting hit on YouTube

Curacao is having one hell of a tournament. First they beat us 1-7, now Ecuador 0-0.

That reminds me of an Irish player who was quoted as describing their group stage run in 1990: “we beat England 1-all, lost to Egypt nil-all, and we drew with the Dutch.”

Funny, the two teams that seemingly came up most often as dark horses before the tourney were Turkey and Ecuador.

He’s too old. Big contract in Saudi Arabia, maybe.

Never underestimate the World Cup boost.

I liked how it looked like Room was fist pumping the fact that the ball hit her in the head.

Yep. And the universal favorite was Spain, who also just did this

Room with the most saves in a 90 minute game in the World Cup. Howard had 16 saves but that game went to extra time

 

[Boreal01]

There might be 1000 Room jerseys sold for every save that he made

Turkey, Ecuador and Norway were the 3 dark horses that came up the most usually, 2/3 are pretty much gone already

The other context isn’t just that Curaçao got a draw, they almost certainly knocked these guys out.

Germany is playing in Boston for those who make plans. If they win they go to Philadelphia. They are equally likely to play Paraguay, Scotland, or Australia. Remains to be seen.

Côte d’Ivoire is going to Dallas if they don’t lose.

Well except they’re also most likely playing France in R16

Boy you weren’t kidding, over 20,000 in less than 10 minutes

One of the great quotes of this sport lol

 

[cgf]

The inability massive teams have had against minnows made the expansion worth it. Spain and Ecuador both genuinely shocking.

Not everyone can be germany

 

[cgf]

Against weaker opponents though.

Respect for the pettiness lol

This WM has been devastating for hipster football podcasts. CIV beating Norway in the round of 32 will be another nail in that coffin.

We'll see if they have an answer for Big Body Undav

Next match will be funny since Sash! Is German

Does he have any songs in German? Encore une fois is his best one, imo.
