Still love hanging out with you guys. I’m sorry I haven’t been as active but I love these chats and refer to your takes to others any time they’re relevant. Should be arriving in Cancun by the end of the week 😀 Ola Arch. Im of course happy with the win over Team USA but I will say this. I enjoyed the football played by Team USA a lot and I do think they will be a very dangerous team in 2026. They will need a good striker but I will see them as a candidate to win it. I was very satisfied with our play. I definitely feel you won balance of play, but we had significant pressure and just imagine if that first shot went in. It was a genuinely competitive match. And I wish you all the luck against Argentina! From the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this is Arch Stanton

No doubt in my mind. At the moment Kylian Mbappe is the best football player in the world.

Currently on my first full day at sea, stationed at the margarita bar all day to drown away my sorrows. It has not sunk in just yet that so will never see my home again, but alas only the bottom of these glasses that will forever remind me of of the unstoppable might that is the Netherlands

The Round of 16/2nd round is quite boring so far. No upsets. No tension.

The only last chance for a genuine upset now is Morocco pulling it out against Spain but I wouldn’t hold my breath. After that we are set for some blockbuster matches. England vs France is coming. A strong potential of Spain vs Portugal next round. A huge showdown between the winner of those matches. And a looming Argentina vs Brazil semi final on the other side. All of those are finals quality matches and we haven’t even gotten to the final by then.

However I do believe we deserve to win it. Not so much based on this year's edition but more historically. The Netherlands lost three World Cup finals. Its time we won one. We are litterally the biggest nation in football that hasnt won it yet.
