Fifa World Cup 2026

[Jer1cho]

Worth noting that we have not been as terrible as we would like to believe, in the past two World Cups we have competed in, we finished on 4 points, missing out on second place and also missing out on the third best place finish, with 4 points.

This time we are on 4 points, second place and through to the next round.

Every WC we have played in has been 1W 1L 1D. This however is the first WC with a round of 32. Previous ones were only round of 16.

Oh damn we did. Ugh. Was so young back then. 2002 we were so unlucky. Took Spain to the brink and had a great team. Anyway im so proud of the boys tonight. So worth waking up for.

Btw. Why are we playing Canada when both of us finished second in our groups?

 

[rietrot]

Nice to wake up to a win. Congrats Bafana.

 

[AfricanTech]

Whoop! Well done boys!

Told my daughter last night that we stood a chance- happiness

The groups and knockouts don't line up like normal. It is a odd number especially with some 3rd place teams going through.

Best place 1st would play, worse place 3rd. And then 2nd place teams play each other

 

[theratman]

Amazing achievement, well done Bafana! I'll watch the match today. Finally we get out of the group stage!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Great result to wake up to. Well done lads. Important thing now to realise that the work isn't done. World Cup only starts here. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Werner1975]

Well done Bafana Bafana!!!! Super proud. Had my doubts. Finally into the next round. May good fortune continue to follow the team.

 

[Goosfrabba]

I don't see us winning a single game this world cup

(See if it works)

I don't see us winning a single knockout game this World Cup

 

[rietrot]

Now, this is worth waking up at 2am for, well done Bafana, let's pile on the pressure.

Lol you needed 1 hour to get ready to watch a soccer game?

 

[theratman]

I don't see us winning a single knockout game this World Cup

We can win the World Cup on penalties, with draws and penalties all the way through

 

[rietrot]

Please no. Hopefully they go into the next rounds with the same must win attitude.

 

[Mike7]

Amazing wow. Well done Boys!

I crashed at 2.55am, the hour break between the Scotland game and SA game broke me.

Pity. Sounds like it was a good watch.

Gratz Bafana Bafana!
