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 🏆

Bruno Fernandez is playing a blinder here as well.

DR Congo are a good team and have more shots on goal.

Lovely Wissa header, the equaliser

GOAL to DR Congo!

<sidles in>

I kind of need Croatia to win due to the fiendlishly complicated prediction thingy at work. Quandary.

😂 sympathy and no judgement.

I’m going for 1-1 draw. I’m not at all confident about us winning.

Ronaldo is never going to score.

Well played DR Congo.

Glad Ronaldo didn't score, especially after FIFA made sure he could play despite his red card.

Excellent result. DH and I always called Ronaldo Oily Prat, it still works for me

I can't even believe Ronaldo and Messi are still doing this. Why not go out on a high because this smacks of not knowing when to quit. Big egos? Although have to say I admire both of them, particularly Ronaldo's generosity towards charities.

If Modrić scores, I shall clap. 199 caps for his country.

There's talk about rivalry within the French team, but surely they mean the Portuguese team. It wasn't solid, little cohesion and it's all very staged.

Messi was sublime last night, earlier this morning. He's a few years younger than Ronaldo.

We've got popcorn lined up. I'm already tipsy but other half is watching Clarksons Farm 5 before we switch over. COME ON ENGLAND

Clarkson’s farm made me feel sad today.
Feel apprehensive for England.

This is a neutral game for me. Good luck to both teams.

We're all awake 😁

Not sure about those white jackets,what's with the black?

COME ON ENGLAND!!

Dh has Qutar in the sweepstakes. No chance of winning.

Come on England!

I'm so excited for this, feel like we've been waiting forever for our first match

Both captains ex Spurs. Just sayin’. I’ve got jumbo Wotsits and Zero 7Up. I know how to partay

Yeah, baby!

Heart in mouth with first saved penalty! But Kane brought it home second time!

I’ve got camomile tea ☕️🤣

Fucking hell ..come on our boys
