Fifa World Cup 2026

[purple face]

Firstly, the UK doesn’t have a football team…
Secondly, he doesn’t play for England because he chose to represent Norway.

Then what do you call the team playing in the Fifa world cup? England national football team.

Yes.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own national football teams.

To answer the Haaland question; he is only English because he was born there. Both of his parents are Norwegian. His dad is also a former footballer who represented Norway at international level as well. His mother is a former Norwegian national athletics champion. Haaland is a full-blooded Norwegian.

Other player involved was way offside.

 

[Heisenborg]

Other player involved was way offside.

And not interfering. So its a moot point you are arguing

but that's not how the offside rule works

Yesterday it worked differently apparently then. Offside blown as soon as the guy ran towards the ball.

Nice win by die USA they can go far, probably until they come up against a top 5 team or real contender.

Disappointing by Scotland, like everything the Scotts do, you can never rely on them.

Turkey has been eliminated, with 0 points, 0 goals, that us going to be very inconvenient for those who were so desperate for SA to have that honour.

Morocco was always going to have an upper hand, they are a really good team that can stand pound to pound with any of the teams.

But I do hope they are eliminated, they have very terrible unsporting tendencies.

 

[AfricanTech]

Avoided the ignominy of being first to be eliminated.

If we had better finishers we’d be on 3 points now.

Also that chop Broos (yes, yes, he got us here) changing our game so radically for the first game.

It's a matter of lack of resources more than it is about talent, hopefully Motsepe CAF Presidency offers the necessary support to improve football in Africa.
