Argentina knocked out of groups
Wednesday, July 28th, 2021 09:52I'm not even surprised Argentina couldn't get past the group stages in men's fútbol. That 2-0 loss to Australia was just too much.
LOL @ Messi watching the game:
I'm sorry, Mochiball, the youths on Argentina are shit.
OK, to be completely fair, Argentina did valiantly fight to the end and equalized with Spain. They were knocked out by Egypt on goal differentials. But they really shouldn't have lost to Australia in the first place and should've gone through with at least 6 points. And Spain didn't help things by drawing to Egypt when they really should've been able to win.
Welp, now Pedri and Eric García goes on for who knows how much longer and will miss the entire pre-season. Meanwhile, I can imagine Messi sulking, since his Argentina got the Olympic gold back in 2008.
In other fútbol groups: Germany's out of groups because of Côte d’Ivoire, and Japan beats Mexico. (=.=) What is even happening anymore?
At this point, I'm pretty sure the gold is going to be a toss-up between Brazil and Spain, because these are the only two countries that seem to be taking the Olympics seriously. I can't decide who I want to get this. On the one hand, Dani Alves does not need any more titles. On the other hand, Pedri hype is going to go on forever if Spain wins. Both outcomes are horrifying.
And under no circumstances is Japan winning gold an acceptable outcome. NO.
Meanwhile, Piqué is having some kind of midlife crisis meltdown:
( Are you OK, Piqué? Did Shakira say something? )
