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 🏆

But it’s made me chuckle so good on him

When’s kick off? 9? These lads have got a lot of filling to do here….

Euro 96 was heartbreaking wasn’t it. A chance there that sadly wasn’t to be.

8pm KO

Bloody hell didn't recognise Ally McCoist

I was Devvy. But I cheered myself up by kopping off with the barman from The Golden Fleece so it wasn’t all bad. He looked like Travis from Home and Away.

He has not aged like a fine wine

God no. He was a right looker. Looks like he enjoys the booze

I had to look up Travis from home and away ! Lucky you though , he looked lush.

He was the ace face in chesterfield in 1996 I can tell you.

Oh god ,I absolutely love a rum and Coke…shall save that for the match ! Luckily I don’t need to be anywhere too early tomorrow!
Am nursing my little dog this evening after having an anaesthetic and 5 teeth removed! She is quite happy having me lying on the sofa with her and hand feeding her mince and cooked rice.🩷

Never watched that soap. I do remember Danni Minogue was in it. More of a neighbours fan in the 80s.

Aww wishing her well. Bless her. Cheers.

‘There were no subs in 1966’ . I did not know that at all!

I’ve got a dog on crate rest as he’s had his knee replaced. He will be watching a lot of football during his convalescence.

The first sub ever used was called Keith peacock ! ( pub quiz last week I found out this gem )

Hang on. Pougach has just said we are going back to the Azteca for the second opening ceremony. This is confusing.

Aww poor thing, wishing her better

Ive got my wine in the fridge, ready for 8pm

Love island looks so good tonight but it'll have to wait til 10

Great knowledge

They’ve spent some dollar on this Nike advert haven’t they?

Must cost zillions for an ad during the World Cup.

Is that big monitor on the building behind the commentary team real or AI?

Salma Hayek is sexy omg 😍😍

Here we go for part 2

Salma Hayek is on!
