2026 World Cup Thread

Tuchal the English manager is already complaining about the altitude in Mexico City. A lot of English commentators, think England will lose. You guys are right Argentina and France look beatable. Hoping, for Portugal to win. These is a very unpredictable World Cup.

Big Messi fan here...rooting for Argentina over all teams - except the USA

English are cursed with "The Hand of God Goal." I mean if you couldn't with with Girard, Lampier, Owen's, Beckham, Terry and others, when will England win. South American football is very beautiful like that of the flying orange of the Netherlands.

Argentina getting a cake walk to the semi-finals/ finals thanks to FIFA's favoritism. Love the goat Messi & one of my all time favorites Di Maria but I will always root against Argentina. Morocco vs France about to look like the Final on thursday.

When I lived in Australia it got to 120 in the summer.  At a 100 we would put a sweater on 😂

The red card on Balogun had been suspended by fifa for one year. He can play tomorrow.

Do yall think the line moves more in our favor with Balogun? We were a sliiimmmm favorite yesterday. I wonder what Balogun back in play does for us on that front.

[4thandFive]

So it’s us v Belgium. 
 

Then either Spain/Portugal.

Then France or Morocco. 
 

Bring it on.

Just came here to say the same thing. We could use a viking in the middle of our defense.

We are definitely going to be the villains now. Shocking, especially with the US President asking them to change it. Reminiscent of Longhorns throwing trash on the field to get a call reversed!

Balogun handled the punishment better than any athlete I can remember. He was as classy as he could have been. I am happy he gets to play. If the ref doesn’t give him that ridiculous red card, we avoid what is now going to be a “news story”.

Bad  callas happen. No complaints about Balogun. But politicians (especially a World Cup host) asking for fifa to intervene is about as corrupt as it gets in sports.

Asking FIFA to bring the World Cup to your country is as corrupt as it gets in sports.
