FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - DISCUSSION AND WATCHALONG THREAD ⚽️

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Wasn't sure where to put this, so ive put it here for now, as its where I put the Arsenal Premier League win one.

I'm really looking forward to the World Cup, and want an England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 win (although I am of course behind Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!)

I've got the BBC sport notifications turned on, and will likely watch with the BBC, rather than ITV.

I'll be watching my matches from home alongside my dd and cat, who are both uninterested!

Anyone fancy joining me? Will you stay up for the games of the country youre supporting?

Supporters of all countries welcome 🙂, expect football chat and banter, favourite goals/matches, fun facts about countries etc, what we're doing in celebration etc.

Happy viewing 🏆

She is looking cool. I love how they all just don’t care and having fun.

It's all got a Gloria Estefan feel about it

although I wonder why the glasses

Dull as

wait what's happened

Conjunctivitis?

Eh? Is that it?

I’ve seen better half time entertainment at Hillsborough me. Up the owls!

I'm giving the opening ceremony a miss. You've convinced me I have made the correct decision.

I hope that they don’t use those trumpet things again when SA plays.

I think it's ok, just the ITV coverage that is not

Loved it but very short. I saw Eartha Kitt at halftime at Spurs once.

The people organizing the opening ceremony gave it a miss too by the looks of it.

You’d have missed it if you blinked to be fair. Rubbish. Though why do they keep saying there is two opening ceremonies? When’s the other one?

What singing or having a brew at the tea stand?

vuvuzelas? Jesu no.

😂

I think there may be three one in each Canada Mexico and US

Singing. It was surreal, she looked confused, as was I

There are two more ceremonies on 12th June in Toronto and LA ,just googled this info 🤦‍♀️

Makes sense.
also highlights what a ludicrous bid this was for a World Cup. It’s too big geographically. It must scan 3 different bloody time zones surely?

Barbadi and coke with ice time. Reckon this will be great game. South Africa will be up against it.

was she a big spurs fan like?

Dh had an old friend who always used to say ‘ I’m going for an Eartha kitt ‘ when he was off to the gents as rhyming slang. It ceased to be funny after a while.

A France 98 montage. Second best summer of my life. Id just done my A levels. First best was euro 96. GCSE’s then down the boozer to watch the games. Smashing.
