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 🏆

Sorry Dunc.

Nice cynical Dutch foul. Shades of the fabulous Van Basten.

Fabulous 🤩

Lovely

I know more facts about this stadium than I do about the players 😂

Ha! Wow. Japan!

Sigh, that happens when you park the bus

Six additional minutes....

That chant is driving me to distraction. Have turned the sound off.

Ah well, fair result in the end

Japan very happy with the draw. They still haven't beaten the Dutch team.

I agree. I put it on for a couple of mins whilst flicking through the channels. Some of the players appeared to have no heads. They really need to sort out the cameras. I would have been disappointed if I was planning to watch it as the couple of minutes I did see were unwatchable.

The ad breaks are spoiling the flow of games- it's ridiculous.

Sat for ivory Coast v Ecuador

Afternoon all ⚽️

Sat for Spain 🇪🇸 v cape Verde 🇨🇻

With a bit of switching to BBC 2 to check out the men's tennis

Spain should win that comfortably. I like the afternoon games.

100%, will be good to see them play, they're very much our competitors

England dont play until Wednesday!

So sick of this American man vs food man

Yeah, I hosted over the weekend and am boozed out. Saving my wine till our game in Wednesday ❤️

Checking in. Looks like I haven't missed anything.

Great goalkeeping!

Yeah kinda dull so far

Just got in from work. Was not the score line I was expecting.

Also this holding games across different time zones and games being at different times is messing with my head. Was expecting 6pm and 9pm not 5pm and 8pm.

Come on the small islands!

It's exciting now, hold on Cabo Verde

Well done!!!!!!!
