FIFA World Cup 2026 - Discussion Thread

ngl, that FPS POV of ref in this WC is fun to watch.

Portugal might be cooked. Spain is making too many near goals.
 
Portugal Spain wasn't very entertaining. Wasn't particularly impressed with either team.

Balogun Will be playing v Belgium. Red card decision reversed 🤷
A real chance for the US to make the quarters, which will be quite the achievement.
 
Mexico were a poor team though, anytime England broke they looked like scoring. Mexico had a lot going for themselves albeit they were a goal down, but their effort to equalize was pathetic. At home, cohosts, etc, you're going out of the world cup and all you can think to do is hoof aimless crosses in. they could have been there for another 30-40 mins and not equalized. I think England were expecting more from Mexico. But who knows, with these water/ad breaks the matches have very little flow. This suits England down to the ground, England traditionally have always played in patches and been very poor in possession.
 
End of an era. The last remnants from 2006 are reaching retirement. My fav squad already was out by 2006 and Ronaldo retired in 2011. It's surreal to see the "next gen" players after Ronaldo coming to retirement too.

Not been impressed with any of the big name teams except France who have been a cut above.
England absolutely played well, that's why Mexico struggled. I'm all for fair criticism but you've got to give plaudits too when they do play well and they deserved to advance.
