Fifa World Cup 2026

[_kabal_]

VAR usage/process is at clown levels for this penalty

You should setup/stage the penalty procedure once VAR is done.

It’s like they are building artificial “tension”

... a lot of empty seats. One would expect there to be no more seats available.

Gillette/Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Capacity should be around the 64k mark.

... a lot of empty seats. One would expect there to be no more seats available.

also looks like a very chilled crowd. Not sure if its just a volume issue but sounds like a golf game.

....and Mbappe just scored.

 

[Fulcrum29]

So which of the two African teams you guys supporting. France or Morocco?

Tonight, French legion all the way.

 

[theratman]

Yeah, that's a wrap.

[Nerfherder]

Yeah, that's a wrap.

going to bed now but Ill be shocked to see any drama in the morning.

I guess Spain will take Belgium out, and I really hope that Norway cancels the English, but I think the English side is too strong. Argentina is going to toy with the Swiss. For me, Belgium and Switzerland didn't look too hot. Norway beating England will be very interesting, and will produce some interesting sentiments in who could be crowned as champions.

I still think the French will take it.

Well done France, the better African team on the day won.

France simply too strong, too much depth. Don't think is coming close to beating them.

Yeah, the bench is insane. They didn't even play well today.

 

[Fulcrum29]

I don't know about you all, but I wish that Norway bags this World Cup.

 

[Picard2]

I'm going to call it ............ France to win FIFA WC 2026.

Is it a bit early - yes.
Does it matter - no.

Who do I want to have winning - Norway, because they are the underdogs, and secondly - England, because, shame, they won it last in 1966.

England isn't really an underdog then, at this point it would be Norway, Switzerland and Belgium. Seems everyone wants the vikings to take it for the first time.

Trump will get on the horn with Infant if the king asks.

All of you guys and the king have too much of an ego problem to ask Trump nicely.

He will do it. Just ask.

Genuine question - what history of terrorism?

Edit: look at Argentina's past - plenty of internal strife. And the little matter of the Falklands war

I remember staring down the barrel of a PKM with a finger on the trigger and a couple of RPG's right next to it when going through a military checkpoint near the Aswan dam.
I remember waking up at 4 in the morning to to assemble into a military convoy to visit Abu Simbel due to the risk of terrorism.
I remember walking through metal detectors at every hotel in Cairo manned with guards carrying AK-47's.

Egypt definately has a history of domestic terrorism from various groups either targeting tourist centres or the open desert.

Nice win by France. I only made it 20 min in last night. Morocco was just never in it, too defensive.
