      You tied against Auckland

      • TheRealLardin011 hours ago

        To be fair this is a pretty normal experience for a +30 years Boca fan. I have seen the club defeating Real Madrid in a World final and I´ve seen it lose against Argentinian relegated teams as well.

    • JayEffarelti311 hours ago

      Yeah 4 european quarter finals in a row and wins against barcelona, ajax, juventus, athletico, bayern and topping a group with psg, we’ve been shit domestically but punching way above our weight to represent the primeira liga internationally in the 2010s. I guess it could be worse

          I still want to make sure Chelsea win tonight and guarantee second place. Then it’s game on and i look forward to it, Benfica were fun to watch in Champions vs Barcelona and i gotta commend what they did today vs Bayern and winning the group.

          • reign_day311 hours ago

            Chelsea’s squad is better but soccer can be funny

            • drdeathstrange211 hours ago

              Big time, this tournament has done a great job of balancing the scales and opening the eyes of many to the magic of the game.

  • A7DmG7C1412 hours ago

    Bayern will bench Sane against us and they’ll destroy us. What an awful player…

    • PsyklonAeon16912 hours ago

      His contract literally ends on June 30, not sure if he could even play on the 29th, I hope he can’t.

      • A7DmG7C612 hours ago

        He deserves a proper goodbye for his years of service. Bayern should absolutely honor him and play him for 90 minutes 🙏

        Meanwhile, we have a player named Michael in our roster that can fill his role of pointless running and awful finishing for about 14 of the price. You guys should absolutely make an offer for him.

  • ms3kay912 hours ago

    I’m happy that the team used the usual couldn’t-hit-an-open-barn-door-performance in the group phase. And I’m feeling sorry for all the Boca fans in case they win their game. They were really unlucky with the matchday order.

    • InevitableAd8003112 hours ago

      Is really annoying that not only we are in the same group that Bayern and benfica but also in the second match benfica play Auckland and we the full energy and full team of Bayern

  • Rude-Lavishness2428👤2112 hours ago

    That’s it Otamendi. Give Toni the praise he deserves. He’s had so much shit flung at him the past two seasons but there’s still a quality CB there. 21 years old.

    • Strobacaxi1012 hours ago

      Ota is such a quality captain I love this guy

      • KapiHeartlilly112 hours ago

        His passion for the game is something else, and it must be great for the younger players to share the dressing room with him and learn from him.

      • Rude-Lavishness2428👤612 hours ago

        Definitely had my doubts about keeping him for another season as really think it’s time to give Toni-Tomas a chance as a CB duo. But Otamendi is still an absolute machine sometimes.

        • iChopPryde312 hours ago

        I feel more comfortable vs Chelsea then flamengo who I think are a better team then Chelsea. Obviously Chelsea can be good but are highly inconsistent so I’ll take it.

    • HyDchen312 hours ago

      Rotations didn’t work, should have scored 2 but also playing in that heat is absolute dogshit. Even from an enterinament POV everyone just looks like they have 0 energy and are absolutely miserable. Especially when one team parks the bus for 45 minutes. Don’t think this game says much in general tbh.

      • JWhite2K2👤111 hours ago

        Mad luck of you that we didn’t do it for 90

      • mateus_gp_6312 hours ago

        I mean, they parked the bus because you didn’t gave them much of a choice. Benfica tried to get out of defense but the press was too high and the heat affected Benfica’s forwards a lot more.

        • HyDchen111 hours ago

          I’m not blaming them, I’m just saying that it made the game even less entertaining combined with everything else.

    • ms3kay412 hours ago

      Frustrating, but it doesn’t really matter. Should’ve been at least a draw, but Kompany decided to take the risk and at least prevented the most important players from playing 90 minutes in these conditions.

    • XeroVeil🇩🇪312 hours ago

      The heat is unbearable but we stay fraudin’! 💪

    • bored_ape07👤712 hours ago

      first half was for the memes, second half was to show that Sane is better off.

      • Claudio1054212 hours ago

        But are you “happy” with this loss? You potentially play Flamengo rather than Chelsea, even though the latter lost

        • mateus_gp_6112 hours ago

          I mean, winning against flamengo would then result in a game against PSG, so things look a lot more harder for them

        • bored_ape07👤112 hours ago

          50-50.

        • RandomUserRU123112 hours ago

          Nah wie are Not Happy with the loss. Ultimately it doesnt Matter which Team we face next but I wouldve liked Chelsea for some sweet Revenge.

      heat breaks + injury breaks.

      • Status-Waltz-4212👤412 hours ago

        Not disagreeing, just funny how a relatively flowing game had +8 when the other one that was constantly stopped had way less.

              • mequetatudo👤110 hours ago

                Essa temperatura é normal em Portugal no verão, a semana passada foi toda acima de 35. Vocês não têm noção do clima da Europa do Sul no Sudeste do Brasil é que estam sempre 25 graus.

    Did low blocks like this exist in the 90s and earlier? Feels like 1 in 4 games or more nowadays are one team attacking constantly with possession while the other just uses so many men to defend that they don’t even have enough forward to properly counter attack.

  • ms3kay1712 hours ago

    The CWC is really unique in this regard: Providing a player like Sane with a last match just a week before his contract runs out in the middle of summer and delivering an absolute dog-shit performance, potentially costing us the group win (okay, this is also on Kompany trying to wing it in the first half).
