Argentina need to get kicked out of the World Cup final and here's why: they broke the rules of football: to be more specific Article 34.3 of the tournament's rules prohibits the display of any political messages or slogans by players before, during or after a match and as they did this last night after their 2-1 victory over England; they brought a sign 'Las Malvinas' broadly translated as "the Falklands are Argentin" so they have clearly broken the rules again so bye-bye World Cup final, this seems reasonable based on the fact if you have or had been paying attention I did say again; they did this once before in 2014 in a friendly against Slovenia where they got fined a financial figure, so logically speaking their punishment should escalate from a financial some to forfeiting the semi-final against England consequently England qualify for the final, I mean they have made similar judgements in the African Cup of Nations 2025; Senegal forfeited the title Morocco [3-0] to after protests in the match; so protests are protests regardless of when they take place; would you think this sign was? It wasn't a victory message, to bring the country together; it was an immature message that absolutely with 110% certainty should now cost Argentina the final.

But I don't see Fifa showing enough hollocks to pull the trigger, I should just clarify if this was their first-ever time of using signs like this one, I would have been okay with a financial penalty, but as it is the second time I am not so lenient especially on a world stage. But then again we don't have the head of Fifa [Gianni Infantino] on speed dial like President Donald Trump and yes we are not good enough to get to the final anyway, but it is now down to principle of if England had done that garbage, the backlash would have been severe, so I really don't see Infantino doing anything about this situation in the slightest, it just makes the entire even more controversial than what is already for us England fans, let's be honest for one Sunday evening I will be in Spain fan, they are pretty much the only team that have got better and better the more the tournament has progressed, so they would be worthy winners, before this situation arose I was more like 50-50 on the final it would be nice to see Lionel Messi pick up another World Cup especially to irritate Cristiano Ronaldo, but after the stunt I am Spain all the way.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLV 2026 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: no surprises here but there will be some adult centred language in this content such as now I have no interest in this event so I honestly couldn't give two manure dumplings about it.

Danhausen vs. The Judgement Day’s: JD McDonagh [with the AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio;] No Disqualifications Match: so I'm guessing they are using this stipulation so that we can see more crazy garbage from Danhausen and/or whatever they have cooked up

Fatal Influence's: Lainey Reid & Fallon Henley [with Jacy Jayne] vs. Champs Paige & Brie Bella; Tag Team Match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: I'm guessing here that they are going to make this match slot newsworthy on 2 levels; 1: we will have new champions here and 2: I'm going for Paige to turn on Brie or vice versa.

Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria; Singles Match: guess what another match I have no interest in seeing, and in this case I will give you an excellent reason why; I was much more interested in the Bayley version of this psychological gimmick that had legs to grow into something special but they pulled the plug on it.

The Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk & Cody Rhodes vs. Walter & Sami Zayn; Tag Team Match: I really couldn't care less, this promotion is just a shambles or even the Mr. McMahon disasters booking years before he left the WWE, I fully expect Walter to at some point turn on Zayn, probably at the end of the match so that Nick Alders to do the save from beat down routine and on a quick side note does anyone remember when Walter was actually “TheMan?” I mean look out for he has fallen down the pecking order that use now taking on a General Manager of SmackDown in Alders; which no disrespect to them, but taking him on at SummerSlam isn’t exactly main event material/feud, whatever shine Walter had, he certainly doesn’t have it right now and it will take some time to rebuild him, longer he is down at this level, obviously it will take longer for him to be rebuilt in the long-term.

Warning: there will be censored adult language references in this content

Where to start?: The first thing I want to say is; this is not a knee-jerk reaction, because I have been watching this from England this entire tournament and tonight was the final straw; Tuchel's tactical awareness is as bright as the invention of the chocolate teapot, basically close the game down and consequently manage the clock until full-time and yes that may work with the lesser nations, but clearly not with Argentina with roughly somewhere between 25-27 minutes of the match to go, he decides in his great fudgin' wisdom to clamp down on close off the match, consequently giving our yes I said our players No Absolutely No outlets to get up the pitch and either throwing the ball/cross and the ball to their box or/and defend from the front or play for possession football [which means making corners or free kicks or anything to eat up the clock, but also keep the football for long spells.]

I mean having 6 defenders on the pitch with this amount of time to go; with playing the likes of Argentina in this case that any of the big nations will only encourage them to come and attack us furthermore camping us further and further more into our box, I mean how does that help us win this game, if anything it literally hands Argentina the initiative to come and break us down for roughly fudgin' 27 minutes, which quite clearly they don't need 27 minutes or less to grab not one goal but two fudgin' goals; I mean don’t get me wrong if there were 5 minutes on the clock and you wanted to close down the game fair enough

The uncomfortable question is; how is this better than Gareth Southgate? Because it clearly isn't if anything we are going backwards... honestly we are going backwards... under Tuchel, I would have greatly preferred continuing playing football in some kind of attacking shape and still losing by the same score then actually fudgin' going out like this.

What I am quick we finding out about Tuchel is any criticism he receives, he doesn't know how to deal with it or better yet throws the players under the bus. But especially Mexico game, complicated against Norway and tonight the England boys gave another 110%, like they did with Mexico, okay we got a little bit lucky, but still gave 110%, and obviously some players in my opinion shouldn't be there, but that is beside the point the main focus is on Tuchel; he chose the players, he has been vocal about them in the media and he makes the decisions, so you should absolutely go, I really want Eddie Howe at the next England manager and considering he is getting less and less to work with at Newcastle and still expected to get results is beyond me, because I think the England squad need a bit of men managing/coaching, because what I have seen/heard under Tuchel as soon as they don't do something right or not up to scratch you will as I have already indicated throw them under the bus, but then again it is you that brings on to attacking players on realising you have screwed up and we need a goal within 5 minutes or less.

Which I am not a professional athlete, but I should imagine in situations like these where the players have given everything they have for the coach; to take some pressure off them or a bit more than indicating as England manager/coach or whatever the but stops with me or have a little joke with them like we have the European Championships coming up soon; we go again. Just anything to build up morale again, because I should imagine them around is right on the floor at the moment and they are looking at their manager/coach to be enthusiastic you see I know Howe would generate some positive vibes as I don't get that from Tuchel.

So if anyone is keeping score I did say if  Tuchel didn't get us to the Quarter-Finals he should be sacked, so in essence he has achieved that, but however his behaviour over this tournament and as I have already said his tactics especially on tonight's match was and is the final straw... I would happily see the back of him and to the squad that went you did what you were asked and no one can ask more of you... you did us proud, bring on the European Championships in 2028

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/bodily functions/transformation/burning/medical.

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 4: Character [Character developments] and Storyline; I have to be honest this whole Kidd on the edge of giving up format is boring now, because it shows no growth from any form of previous experiences and the crowd becoming emotional is just the same stagnant hot steaming pile of garbage.

OLAP/OLAP assault: Action and Art; Mask performance is very powerful submission move; brief description; when he hooks his legs around his opponent [Kidd in this case] and rolls up their back hooking their arms and by this time he is face up on their back; the move is designed to break/dislocate shoulders from the sockets; it looks very painful and masterfully illustrated.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; but as I have already referenced I am getting a little bit bored with the similar outlay time after time, so this mark is a fair outcome.

Well that was that then: Moana [Youngest: Emma Puahi-Shapazian/Young: Amaya Masoli/Older: Catherine Laga'aia:] she is a Princess of Motunui, she has been chosen by the Sea to undertake this task against her father's wishes which involves Maui [Dwayne Johnson:] a demigod of the Wind and Sea that it has been foretold he is not a nice individual, he communicates with one of his many tattoos, he knows a very powerful weapon at his disposal; it is a Manaiakalani [fish hook] that gives him the ability to be a shape-shifter; this is her/their quest to hopefully save her island.

Generally speaking: well as this is a live action remake of the animated 2016 version, the storyline/script is what you expect and consequently the exposition character developments: storyteller voice over by: Gramma Tala [Rena Owen:] she is grandma to Moana; a wise old lady, that is spirited and kind, but also can come off as slightly ever so slightly eccentric and enthusiastic about life. The framework and pacing of this 115 minutes film; these are not the problems it is at least 85% the rest of this project that is the problem.

Art and action; for the vast majority of this project will in one way or another yikes it is just ugly so much so when I first experienced the first moment of how ugly this film really is actually said yikes that is ugly and took a massive breath in my teeth. Briefly or as brief as I can be, because I don't want to waste your time; anything predominantly natural such as landscapes or dancing or predominantly just blue or much later on green these are by and far positives/assets to this live-action train wreck [and that is me doing things nicely.]

But now onto everything else I really want to know how the hell did they think that this project was remotely anywhere near up to scratch by 2026 standards, because it's so isn't: the green screen-effects are a dismal at every stage throughout this film, be it in the musical numbers or/and in the action sequences, there are some very small moments where the art is good; then again they just flood this scene with too much computer-generated or/and too much going on, so you can easily see where everything is separated; be it for an example in the musical number "You're Welcome" performed by Maui/Johnson where this number were very beginning looks very good, but then I quickly changed my mind when it doesn't look natural and you can see and more importantly feel this musical number just fall apart in its very unauthenticated presentation yes Johnson and still sing; but he may as well be a skit in reference to the Titanic; from the aspect of the ship was going down around him and eventually Moana/Laga'aia let's just keep going and hope no one notices.

Moana escaping this cave is a good sequence of events, but there is much bigger point; it is so much more authentic and consequently real then her swing through the air [with us the viewers behind her with some weak attempt to make this a more immersive experience for the audience; because the green-screen effects again are beyond a joke actually they are a complete disaster and this is why I have been selective in my choices, because all the rest minus this character giving a new fish hook, really doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Character developments, performances, voice performance and comedy; the surrounding characters, performances and voice performance; on both counts they are good versions of what they are meant to be and their performances/including voice performance reflects that, there is one that stood out head and shoulders above the rest and that would be; Rena Owen as Gramma Tala; she seemingly seems to be the one that read and understood what was needed to bring this character to life and hopefully some positive award given would see this performance and go; she deserves at minimum a positive nomination from us at least.

Now we come to Moana/Laga'aia and/or Maui/Johnson; other than the green-screen effects, joined the first on the list of problems that this film has would be these two in any capacity whatsoever; individually or together their performances feel as if they are struggling or/and feels really forced; there is no cohesion; I mean at worst things feel and look really hollow and empty and their best they are just going through the motions; I mean simply put; when Maui's tattoo of himself/little Maui has more personality and enthusiasm than two grown-up people then you know that there is a problem and for the comedy minus little Maui in anything he does including because of Maui that is good-natured fun, but the rest is a cheap imitation of their animated 2016 version, so obviously that would be boring.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; yes this film does have some positive bits and pieces, but then again the counter balance is so s heavy that I couldn't justify or I really did struggle to justify anything higher even though Owen's performance is basically a diamond covered in soil and more often than not I would give an extra mark for this, but this is one of those occasions where I just can't do it, nothing against her, it is just a need to work out a mark that shows a real reflection of what this film is in this case.

I will have to do another piece of content on this film; because I don't want to make it too big and they are clearly issues here that need to be discussed in one way or another, but for now; all I can say is; if you have small children you may want to take them to go and see this film, but other than that; you may want to go and watch paint dry for roughly 2 hours and yes I will be putting the resulting content down at the bottom of this content.

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 3: Character [Character developments] and Storyline; Meat vanishes from hospital alongside others to be in the corner of Kidd; let's hope this contest is still going on when they get there...

"The Royal Stretch": Action and Art; Mask performs this wrestling move/hold; in our world it is better known as The Tarantula; they have exactly yet simultaneously shown how painful this whole could with on a maximum of 10 scale meaning 10 out of 10 yet at the same time masterfully illustrating the overwhelming strain that the receiving wrestler goes through in this case Kidd.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; by and large it is a constantly strong episode.

Warning/Additional information: there is mental health/possibly psychological disability/animal cruelty/animal bodily functions/disfigurement/unpleasant references to a section of the rainbow community, underage inappropriate situation and child abuse and one censored adult language reference will be in this content at some point or another. Additional information; I'm stuck here, because our lead role clearly has OCD, but by today's standards I don't know if he has autism as well; high functioning autism or/and if it is him being a complete posterior, because that is him being him. But all I know is; because of the character developments at point or another this could be true, but all I know is if I don't acknowledge there could be more going on here and I miss it, then I know I run a very good chance of some backlash and just to cover my back; I am not saying people with autism of any kind can be posteriors; I'm just saying in this film and in this case he has no filter and/or struggles to pick up physical cues and from time to time really struggles with communicating what he actually means and finally if you are one of those kind of people; that doesn't like labels and so on and so forth; I really don't give two dumplings what you think, I am just trying not to get cancelled or/and receive backlash because I'm did or didn't mention what I just said.

What an interesting community for better or worse: briefly; we meet Melvin Udall [Jack Nicholson:] he is a highly successful novelist with OCD/other, he lives next door to an artist Simon Bishop [Greg Kinnear:] which he is highly successful in his own right; portraits and drawing people's body that kind of thing, he has a dog by the name of Verdell [Jill the Brussels Griffon] and his boyfriend Frank Sachs [Cuba Gooding Jr.:] he is an art seller and doesn't like Udall, moving on to Jackie Simpson [Yeardley Smith:] she is Bishop's am going to go with or/and publicists/assistant finally we have Carol Connelly [Helen Hunt:] she is a waitress where Udall likes to dine once-a-day and has to be served by her, so she has to put up with his shtick, but don't worry she gives as good as she gets and she has no problem telling him when he has crossed the line; this kind of steel only comes from going through tough endless times as unfortunately she has a very sick child at home by the name of; Spencer "Spence" Connelly [Jesse James:] he has a very compromised immune system, Carol does have some support at home by her mother Beverly Connelly [Shirley Knight:] she is a very supportive family member that doesn't mind supporting but also wants the best for her family; but after one horrific incident things start to change.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, framework and pacing of this 139 minutes film is perfectly designed, so that throughout this set time we the viewers are just a part of these characters lives.

Art and action; now and again through this film there are some highly quality art; in the style of as I have already referenced and the action is something that serves its purpose.

Character developments, performances and comedy; there is a reason why I have dropped so many names and that is because regardless of the role size all of these characters bring something to the table; to create this every day atmosphere which this film runs off; predominantly they are all good versions of what they are meant to be, but with that being said; it does take these performances to take these character types and make them defined and in-depth individuals, but when this film has four spearheading this project in the form of Nicholson, Hunt, Kinnear and Jill the Brussels Griffon; where these humans are flawed, damaged or/and battle hardened; they are still good people; it's just whatever reason; be it learned behaviour or experience or disability they may not remember or no how to be who they are meant to be; based on their inner being, so this has nothing to do with money or else; as one is right at the top, whilst one is in the middle and the other is at the bottom financially broke; so as you see it has very little to do with financial wealth; obviously it would help, but I think also this film indicates without saying it; change what you can and leave what you can't and no that doesn't mean not to try and take responsibility for your debts for an example; but psychologically; change what you can, leave what you can't and aim to be the best person you can be and if you get a few nudges in the right direction from the right people that actually likely then every bit helps, it also highlights the importance of pets to those with mental health or/and disabilities as well and the comedy can range from doggy mishap to dark humour.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it needs to be seen once in your lifetime for its authenticity about life and this superb assembled cast of characters and performers, they should be absolutely no surprise, but this film has some awards accredited to its name; such as 38 Winners which includes but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1998 Oscar Best Actor in a Leading Role Jack Nicholson and Best Actress in a Leading Role Helen Hunt. 54 Nominees which also include but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event Best Picture James L. Brooks Bridget Johnson Kristi Zea, Best Actor in a Supporting Role Greg Kinnear [altogether this film has 5 Oscar Nominations to its name.]
