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 🏆

Exactly the Men will be asking for a brew next! 🤣

Six whole minutes added

I only watch football at the World cup.

1. WTF is a ' hydration break'?
2. Is it just unlimited subs now?
3. Is Luka Modric 100 years old
4. And yes, why is that woman droning on with a blackboard?

5 subs

Hydration break read adverts break

Luka Modric, very likely

45s remains

BOOM

Whistle …yayyyy🥳

Good win

🥳🥳🥳

Not biased at all but that has been the best match thus far!
⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️

Well. Nothing spursy about that.

😆 🤣 😂

You're right. Surely the best scoreline.

We have a not going to sleep 15 year old

super

we have a squad

“That woman” is Emma Hayes, ex Chelsea Women’s manager and current manager of the USA Women’s team. Her team won Gold at the 2024 Olympics and she’s won awards as one of the very best coaches in women’s football. She’s primarily there to discuss/explain tactics.

She's fantastic and talks sense. I totally understand everything she says.

And I love her board.

The men and their minions can get the teas in.

Mine's a Yorkshire tan brew with Welsh cakes. Ta very much ☺️

Edit for spelling

I had them written off early doors tbh.
Croatia are good and put the pressure on.

Best match of tournament so far !Well done England!

At least it wasn’t full of the good old Arsenal off side trap 😆

Agree. BIL is Scottish and he said the same!

First half was pretty sketchy in general. It got better but to start with was just not intense enough

No, but the good old Arsenal corner routines were quite helpful...

I’ve just spotted the kitchen island in the middle of that roof they’re on

The chalkboard idea hasn’t gone down well with people. She must have agreed to do it like that.

1. They put hydration breaks in because of the heat, it's controversial in this match so it is an air conditioned stadium but they said they are keeping them in so every match has them and it keeps it fair. They are also ad breaks in America

1. Not unlimited subs

1. He's actually only 40, younger then Ronaldo but I agree he looks older
