The 2026 World Cup — Final: Spain vs Argentina

I’ll be turning it off as soon as the final whistle blows.

No interest in watching that piece of shit present the trophy.

David West
2 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:28:21

Hope these Argies don't win it, I just know Gianni wants that photo op giving the trophy to Messi to be shown for years to come.

Got a feeling Yamal might show up to take over!

Dale Self
3 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:30:47

Hey man, what's with all the anti-Yank not-so-subtleties?

And you Mike, disposing of decorum by besmirching the President?

It is the dawn of Tits and Ass soccerball and you are showing no class Pfft.

David West
4 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:32:29

Trump is a gangster.

To be fair, at least he doesn't try to hide it, like our political figures.

Andrew Ellams
5 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:50:34

Losing interest already

Paul Griffiths
6 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:56:54

what the fuck is this

ecky thump nice brass band wheeltappers

Jeff Armstrong
7 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:57:22

Moments, Moments, Moments... don't the pundits have any other adjectives to use?

They all say the same thing, fucking moments.

Come on, Spain, it's your ….time.

Brendan McLaughlin
8 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:59:02

Mike #1

I'm rather looking forward to Trump hopefully having to present the trophy to the Spanish team.

Paul Hewitt
9 Posted 19/07/2026 at 19:59:03

Should be watching Spain v England.

If only Tuchel hadn't messed up completely.

Paul Griffiths
10 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:04:07

Fuck me this is embarrassing

Paul Griffiths
11 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:07:04

“Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate. They don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits,” he said at a news conference in Ankara, Turkey, with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

“Don't even talk to them. They're hopeless, bad people,” the president said.

Jim Bennings
12 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:09:03

Yamal is a wonderful player but, like so many in the modern era, he's so bloody one-footed, it's infuriating.

Tony Abrahams
13 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:10:02

David @4, that is a very good description of Donald.

Hopefully this game continues in the manner it has started 🤞

Jim Bennings
14 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:14:36

Hopefully this is the last World Cup for many moons hosted in the States.

The Final for a a start should have been in the Azteca, it's more a colosseum of football, a mecca. I don't even recognize this gaff.

The Brazil World Cup in 2014 worked better, all in one carnival football nation and the Final in the showpiece Maracana.

Paul Griffiths
15 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:18:41

New York Giants and New York Jets, Jim, in shite Yank footy.

Completely agree about Mexico. It is an outrage that none of the QF/SF/F were played in Mexico City.

There would have been none of this fecking 'let's get ready to rumble' shite. Still can't believe that happened.

Tom Bowers
16 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:27:30

Twenty minutes gone and the Argies seeing how much they can get away with.

Referee so far is poor. Missed a sure fire yellow card against the Argies.

Tom Bowers
17 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:32:06

The bad taste of this World Cup is Trump's corruption and the complicity of Infantino.

Fifa officials being put up at the Trump tower and supposedly paying rent to the Trump family.

Jeff Armstrong
18 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:32:26

I understand the ref not going too early, but come 35/40 minutes that Mac Allister foul is a yellow.

Yes to the letter of the law, he should give what is deserved, but do we want 11 v 10 after 20 minutes? Ruins the game for me. A decent ref lets a couple of bits and pieces go, until they start taking the piss.

Andrew Ellams
19 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:33:24

How does that red prick in the Argentina team actually get a yellow?

Jeff Armstrong
20 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:35:01

Wow that’s a shock,
apparently FIFA are corrupt,
who knew?

Ron Sear
21 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:36:26

I hope they have got rubber gloves to give to the winning team if they have to handle a trophy touched by Trump.

It will feel dirty for the rest of time.

Tom Bowers
22 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:42:25

Trump may leave early as it will be past his bedtime and besides he has to rehearse his threatening speeches for his personal website.

Brendan McLaughlin
23 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:42:43

Ron #21

If it was only trophies, he touched up....

Jeff Armstrong
24 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:43:35

To think Chelsea supporters didn't rate Cucheralla when he first signed. Shows you what Chelsea supporters know about football, fucking morons.

There you go, 1st yellow 40 minutes as predicted.

Jim Bennings
25 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:44:27

Safe to say this game hasn't got going yet, lol.

Paul Griffiths
26 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:44:53

His hair though, Jeff.

Jeff Armstrong
27 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:46:31

Let's hope the Redshite bandit Mac Allister gets his deserved red.

Jeff Armstrong
28 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:47:11

Jealous PG?
That’s some barnet

Tom Bowers
29 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:48:28

Spain easily the better team.

But beware, Argies still have Messi.

Dale Self
30 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:52:59

Some pressure and questions asked but it never turned into the Spanish Inquisition.

Brendan McLaughlin
31 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:55:40

Snare, snare, cymbal, Dale #30

Paul Griffiths
32 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:56:37

You touched a raw nerve there, Jeff.

Not a single shot from the Argies. Rodri and Koo-Koo playing so well.

¡Vamos, España!

Paul Griffiths
33 Posted 19/07/2026 at 20:58:24

Big McDonald's half-time delivery.

Kevin Molloy
34 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:04:27

What a load of trash.

Bill Gall
35 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:04:30

Half-time show worse than the game...

Jeff Armstrong
36 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:06:55

The most embarrassing, worst, unnecessary, uncomfortable, half-time in any sporting event, anywhere, ever.

Give me Hit The Bar any day of the week!

Paul Hewitt
37 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:07:03

Do the Yanks actually like things like this?

Genuine question.

Paul Hewitt
38 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:09:02

Half time pie and pint does me

Jeff Armstrong
39 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:09:27

Wouldn’t be a show without punch (Shakira, Shakiraaaa)
Them kids are shit singers

David West
40 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:10:54

Just waiting now for some American probably Dana White to come out and say, Oh it might catch on this "soccer," thing, we should have our own World Cup!

Brendan McLaughlin
41 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:11:42

My wife Breige ain't really a football fan but will watch the big occasions.

Even she lost interest and fucked off to bed early after that first half and the "entertainment"

Jim Bennings
42 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:11:56

Get on with the game, for fuck's sake.

Paul Griffiths
43 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:12:18

I just threw up.

And Ad breaks in the half-time 'show'.

Those kids are fucking irritating.

Bill Gall
44 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:13:14

We still have Trump to come on to present the trophy.

As they say, you can't have a show without Punch!

Darren Hind
45 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:13:31

Fuck the game.

Bring Shakira back on!

Jeff Armstrong
46 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:14:50

At least we can all turn off when the orange peado comes on, the footy will be finished.

Les Callan
47 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:17:32

Well said Rooney. “ I like them acts, but that was crap “.

David West
48 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:17:57

Everyone slating the show, then . SHAKIRA!!!! 😍

Jeff Armstrong
49 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:19:01

Will America now realise their “World Series” isn’t quite what it’s hyped up to be?🙄🙄

Paul Griffiths
50 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:20:17

Toronto nearly won it last year Jeff

Jim Bennings
51 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:20:19

How not to play out a World Cup Final in a nutshell, 25 half time minutes of nonsense

Brendan McLaughlin
52 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:20:58

Jeff #46

Is Jeffrey Donaldson making an appearance?

Paul Griffiths
53 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:21:41

Looking foward to the closing ceremony Jim? Has there ever been a WCF closing ceremony before?

David West
54 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:21:55

I'm all for a longer half time show 25 - 30 mins, as long as it's just Shakira, get her down to Hill dickinson !!

Kevin Molloy
55 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:23:11

Kids will be writing about that half-time in a hundred years.

Jeff Armstrong
56 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:24:18

I bet Shakira could hit the bar

Dave Abrahams
57 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:25:14

Fuck that load of shite going to see a football match and finishing up in the bleedin' Empire.

I wouldn't have bunked in to see those performers, I've seen better in the pubs in Great Charlotte Street.

Hope this second half bucks up or we'll be watching more shite in extra time and penalties.

Jeff Armstrong
58 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:25:52

Brendan, there's only one Orange Peado and that's Trump.

Jeffrey Donaldson is not orange... unless we're getting into politics, which doesn't include Trump either.

Darren Hind
59 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:26:33

Stop it, David.

Moyes and Shakira?

We wouldn't know whether we were coming or going!

Bill Gall
60 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:28:10

Why is it, because of 1 decent player who plays in an American league, they all want Argentina to win?

Apart from Messi, the rest are just a bunch of thugs in football boots.

Jeff Armstrong
61 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:30:32

PG, who knows? Everyone turns off after the footy anyway, unless you’re the winners, which we never are!

Dale Self
62 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:31:48

Paul H, sadly yes, there are many that take pride in Americans' garish behavior. And it isn't just the dudes.

Dale Self
63 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:32:45

Pedro you dumbass. They had the box loaded up.

Tom Bowers
64 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:33:30

The longer it remains 0-0 the more I fear the Argies will sneak it.

Paul Griffiths
65 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:35:03

Nothing worse than 40-something Texas Trumpettes Dale.

Andrew Ellams
66 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:38:13

Has there been a worse World Cup Final?

90 and 94 were bad but this bad?

Darren Hind
67 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:39:12

Argentina turning to darker arts.

You want it darker?

Paul Griffiths
68 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:40:36

Still not a single shot from the Argies

The 2002 one was also awful, Andrew.

Tom Bowers
69 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:40:40

Referee is poor. Game very scrappy.

Spain lost their rhythm a little which suits Argentina, much like the England game.

Dale Self
70 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:43:03

90 was a bore, penalty final wasn't it?

Paul Griffiths
71 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:44:16

Had World in Motion though in 1990 Dale

Tom Bowers
72 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:44:43

Nobody better than Argentina at pushing shoving and shirt pulling and a weak referee allows it.

Dale Self
73 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:45:21

Fuckin Zidane going with the 21st Century MacGyver look. Ha!

Brendan McLaughlin
74 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:45:33

Jeff #58

Jeffrey has often described himself as a "proud orange man" and has recently been convicted of some vile crimes.

I'm not talking politics... I'm just calling out despicable
evil.

Andrew Ellams
75 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:46:47

It was Paul but at least it managed a couple of goals

Dale Self
76 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:48:03

Fair point Paul. 90 music-wise was brill.

Jeff Armstrong
77 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:51:56

Most World Cup finals are pretty poor, its a mixture of good teams cancelling each other out, players not playing their natural game and the fear of making mistakes.

Darren Hind
78 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:54:40

"We have a fullllll House". Proud boast

A bit different from Everton in the seventies. We used to knock 15-20 thousand off the gate regularly. Apparently the tax man loved full houses

Jim Bennings
79 Posted 19/07/2026 at 21:58:05

Would have been a better game if England had made it, and that's not something I ever thought I'd hear myself say.

Brendan McLaughlin
80 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:02:10

I hate games that are shite when you don't particularly care who wins.

No extra time please...

Edward Rogers
81 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:02:44

I suppose Messi will get the "superior player of the match" award

Jeff Armstrong
82 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:02:52

Come on Spain

Paul Griffiths
83 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:06:03

Can anyone remember a match where a team had no shots over the first four quarters?

That's up to The Donald Edward

Dale Self
84 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:08:06

See ya Enzo.

Don Alexander
85 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:08:49

What a shite game and, as others point out above, it very much resembles others in this young century.

Football? Meh!

Kevin Molloy
86 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:10:06

what's the little twat still doing on the pitch?

Paul Griffiths
87 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:10:09

Slimy ratboy Enzo

Jeff Armstrong
88 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:12:16

Messi the Rat wanting Cuccerella sent off for covering his mouth, even though he engaged him, fucking cheating Argie facist

Bill Gall
89 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:14:27

What a save, the only Argentinian that plays football

David West
90 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:20:23

I blame pep for the boringness of the modern game.
Everyone thinks they can play his way, and you just end up with huge percentage of most games played between CBs and keepers.

Paul Griffiths
91 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:21:23

Argies 2 - TWO - touches in the Spanish box

Jeff Armstrong
92 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:23:32

I think Argentina might go defensive here in the hope of taking it to penalties with 10 men🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jim Bennings
93 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:23:37

Me too David

Bring back the 90's, proper wingers like Giggs, Kanchelskis, McManawoman, proper 4-4-2 with two strikers like Shearer and Ferdinand, Wright and Bergkamp etc etc

Just so much more free flowing, goalkeepers sending long goal kicks straight down meadow.

Games too much like a chess match nowadays

David West
94 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:24:19

Playing with 9 men without the ball now!
Messi literally does no work without the ball.

Les Callan
95 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:24:55

Isn’t the answer to this negative football, to dispense with penalty shootouts, and replace them with shots on target, or possession in opponents half. Something, anything, to avoid games like this.

Jeff Armstrong
96 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:26:38

My god Darren Cann is a wet wipe

Andrew Ellams
97 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:26:42

No way will Spain be allowed to score here

Ajay Gopal
98 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:26:58

Amazingly, Argentina are still in the game. If they do find a way to win this, could they take the crown of the ‘dogs of war’?

Paul Griffiths
99 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:27:24

Football Spain 16 shots Les; non-football Argies 0 shots

Les Callan
100 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:31:39

Exactly Paul.

Jeff Armstrong
101 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:31:54

Fucking hell Mikel

Bill Gall
102 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:33:02

Wonder what the odds are for Argentina to win on penalties

Steve Johnston
103 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:34:36

C'Mon Spain. Send these dirty, cheating f*ckers home!

Paul Griffiths
104 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:39:12

Make that 19-0 in shots now; Argies 2 touches in Spain's box.

¡Vamos, España!

Jim Bennings
105 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:39:38

C'mon Shearer get singing with Freddie Mercury, it's the final countdown de de de de de de de

Woooooooooo

It's the Final Countdown dooooooo de de de de de de de

Alfuckinright then!

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Jim Bennings
109 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:41:32

This get ruled out you know for offside

Paul Griffiths
110 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:41:35

GET FUCKING IN

Dale Self
111 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:41:51

Fat Bottom Argentinians!

Actually, they may be getting skinny with Shithead Millei auctioning everything off.

David West
112 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:43:18

All the tiki taka bollocks, what worked?

A cross... a flick-on, and smash it in!!

Jeff Armstrong
113 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:44:25

Fuck right off, you Argie twats. Viva Espana.

Don't go full English, get another one!

Paul Gallagher
114 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:46:50

This final reminds me of the Italia '90 final.

Jeff Armstrong
115 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:53:20

These marginal offsides are so subjective, where’s the graphic on the pass release?

Andrew Ellams
116 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:56:01

5 minutes out of 15?

Jeff Armstrong
117 Posted 19/07/2026 at 22:57:48

Yes Andrew, and only 1 minute in the first 45, corrupt, someone wants Argentina/Messi to win 😉😉😉😉

Dale Self
118 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:00:29

Dont cry for me Argentina

Just Fuck Off, you and Gianni, go on.

Jim Bennings
119 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:00:41

Victory for football

Paul Griffiths
120 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:01:10

YES, justice

Brendan McLaughlin
121 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:04:31

Viva Espana!

Commiserations to Argentina but they were poor against quality tonight.

Andrew Ellams
122 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:04:51

Scum of the earth

Bill Gall
123 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:06:34

Still after extra time over, a couple of Argentinians still trying to cause trouble.

Paul Griffiths
124 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:07:20

Where's The Malvinas banner/rag?

Don Alexander
125 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:07:32

Fuck Trump, Infantino and just about every owner/s of "top" teams.

That match was dire entertainment, full of masquerading players, just like much of the football in this country.

Shakira was M(Madame)OTM for Christ's sake.

Don't you dare bring it on, Friedkin!

Bill Gall
126 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:10:53

I don't know about the Malvinas banner, maybe Argentina should show a white flag.

Kevin Molloy
127 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:12:17

Trump will probably refuse to hand it over.

Kevin Molloy
128 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:15:49

129 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:17:03

8 o'clock kick off. Still not finished.

Circus.

Mike Powell
130 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:17:06

Well done, Spain, the best side won.

Them horrible cheating Argies should be banned.

Paul Griffiths
131 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:17:48

Remember what Donald said about Spain last week.

"I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits,” he said at a news conference in Ankara, Turkey, with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.. “Don't even talk to them. They're hopeless, bad people,” the president said.

Give 'em the trophy, sir.

Les Callan
132 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:21:29

With a bit of luck, Trumpy has fallen down the steps.

Paul Griffiths
133 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:26:26

Listen to them boos!

Bill Gall
134 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:29:32

Now we have the Trump show.

He still thinks football is a democrat's head.

John Collins
135 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:33:51

The game's gone.

I agree with Shearer.

John Collins
136 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:35:49

I can't watch Trump.

Did he turn it into the me, me, me show?

Andrew Merrick
137 Posted 19/07/2026 at 23:36:27

Thank god a football-playing team won, despite everything.

Paul Kossoff
139 Posted 19/07/2026 at 00:27:00

The worst World Cup final I've seen in a long time. Argentina should be ashamed of themselves.

I thought hang on, has our David Moyes taken over, or been the advisor to the Argies? I bought my son an Argies shirt as that's his favourite team, I'm getting a refund tomorrow.

Coldplay were more entertaining than the Argies and that's saying something. No wonder the yanks don't get football with crap like that. I wonder do M&S do refunds on half-eaten food?

Paul Kossoff
140 Posted 19/07/2026 at 00:48:07

Jim @94., "C'mon Shearer get singing with Freddie Mercury, it's the final countdown de de de de de de de"

Wasn't Freddie it was Europe. And it's
De de da da de de da da da repeat ad lib 😀and fade

Mick O\\\'Malley
141 Posted 20/07/2026 at 04:00:28

The type of game that makes you hate modern football... boring sideways passes, recycling possession.

Jim Bemings, I agree football was far better in the 90s, the game was more physical then as well, no VAR to spoil it and a couple of subs instead of the bus full you have on the bench now.

And what the fuck was that half-time nonsense? 27 minutes of absolute shite... embarrassing.

That's spot on Mike O, what a shite game, Argies doing what Argies do, they even caused a ruckus in the rugby union game against England. I'm delighted they got beat in both games.

I was disappointed with Spains play after their performance against France, It seems France are not as good as everyone thought.

As Corporal Jones once commented - They Don't Like It Up Em !! and Messi the Goat - give me a break - Pele by far the Superior player and human being. Messi standing with his mates and holding up that banner ! Pele in a 100 years would never have done that. He'd have told them to roll it up and behave. It was good that Spain won, I had hoped for a 4 - 0 type of scoreline. Now let's see what pathetic punishment they receive for the banner and the after match antics. A 2 year ban for all concerned and a £1m fine would not go amiss, plus a 3 month community otder, to clean up the Penguin shit on the Falklands, whilst wearing their 'lucky' kit.

Apparently the Argy Rugby Union team, changed their kit, to the Maradonna shirt, when the played England, the other day. They lost and then had the gall to complain about the loud music and partying of the England players in the dressing room after the match !

A boring competition I thought.
Watched less games than any previous World Cup, some of that down to kick off times.

Raymond,
Did you take the 6s available on Mbappe top scorer we discussed a few weeks back?

Good for you John, no I didn't I'm sorry to say, I didn't have a bet in the comp. at all.

I didn't have a bet on my namesake Fox in the Open Golf either, he would have been a hell of a price. Can't bet for daft reason like that though. I did remember his dad playing stand off for the All Blacks many moons ago.

Although I was down on England most of the comp. the way Spain played, England maybe could have beaten them in the final if they had won against the Argies. Ifs a very big word though.

Now that it is all over, so it should be for Infantino and his R slickers. He should resign and if he won't UEFA needs to go it's own way. Kowtowing to Trump over the USA red card, creating a peace prize, to smooth the man baby's ego was nauseating in the extreme. Allowing a half time show and the ridiculous hydration breaks in air conditioned stadiums, wtf was that all about. Arranging the draw so Spain, Argentina, England and France could not meet until the semi finals, as long as they won their groups, which surprise, surprise they all did. He now wants 64 teams, as he never heard of killing the goose that lays the golden egg ?

Apparently the 2030 World Cup which is being held in Europe and North Africa, will have 3 games played in South America ie Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, so he obviously expects all 3 to qualify. If so put them in a group with Mexico and let them kick lumps out of each other before the top two, catch a red cross plane to Madrid.

For me the tournament was a disappointment both in the quality of the matches, Cape Verde excepted, and the eagerness to accept, kicking, punching, barging, play acting and attempts to get opposition players sent off by the officials. 40 minutes it took last night before an Argy was booked, when Olmo had been hacked within the first 10 minutes. Yellow and reds are there to make sure all that kind of stuff does not go on. So why not use them ? Makes one wonder doesn't it. One last thing, were did the 5 minutes of injury time, at the end of the sedong half of extra time come from ? Again it makes you wonder. Viva Expana !
