Looks like the Slovaks have blown it. This is what happens when you sit back on a lead.

This is a very interesting and informative map that will dispel a lot of woke myths about dark "supa affletes" and supposed White "unathleticism" when it comes to who is really great at the world's most popular sport. Most people don't realize just how White large parts of soccer powerhouse South America are. Brazil is a lot whiter than people give it credit for, and the southernmost part of Brazil is whiter than many U.S. states. And of course Argentina won the last World Cup with a lily-white team. And of course Europe has won multiple World Cups with actual Europeans. No African team has ever won the Cup. The myth that teams "need" Africans because "no one else beez fast enuff" or some other such nonsense is easily dispelled with a few simple facts.

I don't think they had any other choice. Sit back and be difficult beat. You just hope to offer a threat on the counter attack.

They were poor holding the ball in the final stages. Should have seen the game out better from the 90min when England were desperate.

France are the only African team to win the W.C.

Great visual and post. European peoples have produced the best football (soccer) teams since the founding of the sport. Like you said, it is a myth that they need blacks to be competitive. There are good black players, and some make the European teams based on merit but mostly screwed up laws of who should be allowed on a National team. But again, these guys aren’t needed. Germany, Spain, England, France, etc were doing just fine in previous eras without them.

@Sean89 I see your point about France as they were majority African. However I would argue that they would have never won without Lloris (great goalie), Greizmann, Giroud and Pavard. Those guys all made huge contributions that I don’t think France could have overcome if they were replaced by a black.

That's just my go to joke.They need white coaching, structure, players etc. Without doubt. Pavard had that wonder goal vs Argentina.

I was pulling hard for Croatia in the final that day though. And I'm a huge Giroud fan.

Hoping De Bruyne will steal the show against France now.

As much as it pains me to say it, Italy was awful against Switzerland. No creativity or hustle on display whatsoever.


They need to start over

USMNT eliminated in the group stage of Copa America and all the DWF blame Berhalter. We know better as the darker the squad gets the lower the IQ becomes. How people can't see that this strategy does not stand a chance is beyond me. If it ain't white, it ain't right!

Yes, but don’t let Berhalter off the hook regarding the player selections and starting lineups. I’m sure he has influence and is partly responsible for the black mess that caused this team to torpedo out early.

I am a Scotland supporter so when we are out( if we qualify for major tournaments) I used to support Germany but now I support the whitest team.

The USA blew it against Panama, which as some here pointed out was a debacle brought about by an undisciplined, easily needled black player - the son of a Liberian AC Milan legend! - getting red-carded early in the match. Uruguay was always going to be tough. I don't follow the USMNT, but I have watched them at major tournaments going all the way back to Italia 90, and it seems to me the US stopped progressing maybe about ten years ago. The younger players today, with the exception of Pulisic, are not as good relative to the competition as the developing US players were in the early 2000s. Setbacks are normal for every country in world football with some generations better than others, but the US has now been stalled or regressing for long enough that we can throw away that theory that was bandied about for years about mass immigration & blacks inevitably making the USA an elite soccer nation.

At Euro 2024 I was disappointed Austria didn't defeat Turkey as I liked the way the offensive-oriented Austrian team played but they let in a weird goal at the start against the run of play and never managed to overcome it. The Africanized Dutch team played much better against Romania and now look like they could be the main obstacle to England making the final if the latter get passed Switzerland.

USMNT losing in such fashion is a great tool to use with the normies. 2 avenues to utilize.
1) squad has changed to become vibrant but, has underperformed drastically even though the narrative was that soccer would improve if it became less White.
2) how is player selection done? Why are certain players and certain regions not represented and other demographics and regions over represented?

I don't know much about soccer, but it seems unusual that a referee wouldn't shake hands with a player after the game.


Highly unusual. Also, Uruguay got a goal that looked offside. Refereeing in Latin American soccer has always been suspicious.

Meanwhile in Stuttgart Antonio Rüdiger messed up on the winning goal for Spain. Germany out of their own party.

I just caught the end but if I'm not mistaken France finished their match against Portugal with only one white player on the pitch.

You're not mistaken. And he's wasn't even French. He's a Spaniard. And he was their most impactful player in the later part of the game.

Also, this game which "France" won on PK's just goes to prove how fraudulent the myth of African superiority is. 5 games in so far and they haven't scored 1 goal that wasn't a penalty.

Beat Austria 1-0 by own goal
Drew Dutch 0-0
Drew Poland 1-1 scored via PK
Beat Belgium 1-0 by own goal
Beat Portugal via PK's.

They import players en masse and yet, they struggle to draw Poland and only beat small nations like Austria or Portugal vis PK's.

This is supposed to be best team in the world.
