Delpo when healthy had a ton of game.  Tremendous velocity and power on his forehand.  He was a better Zverev.  Unfortunately his wrist was a constant problem but he had a number of big matches when he overpowered Fed & Nadal.

Very pleased that the most insufferable potential winners (England and France) are now out of it.

I'll chalk it up to your European geographical bias, but Argentina is plenty insufferable, I'd argue far more so than England.

Quote from: BM1090 on July 15, 2026, 03:15:33 PMYeah, pretty insane. Wawrinka and Murray, two guys who would have probably had more in other eras, won six of the remaining 14.

Sometimes I have to remind myself of the greatness of those two to become 3x major winners in this era. Nobody else has won multiple majors since Fed won his first.

Delpo probably would have won a few more if not for his injuries. 

I tbink 🇪🇸 has too much for 🇦🇷.  I hope I'm wrong.  What Cape Verde did in this tournament shouldn't be forgotten.  Incredible effort.

Oh...  nice!  Tyvm!  I may have to train a bit and find my inner Mo Lucas.  Although I do still have my quicks and could rope a dope before making my move? 

As a long-time supporter of the Three Lions with deep familial ties to England, obviously I'm disappointed, but it was a heck of a ride. I can't disagree with much that has been said here. For me, the match came down to two things:

1. Tuchel went defensive far too early and lost their aggression. If not for Pickford, it could have been 4-1.
2. Messi was inevitable. Argentina are a team of destiny.

That was one hell of a match from start to finish.

I guess Messi still has a little game left?  No pun intended.  Wow....what a cross. 

Yeah, but all lives matter ...
