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 🏆

I do!!

I'll stick to orange

I'm ambivalent about Germany these days.

Me too. Can we just park them in the’ all other teams’ bracket.

Yeah makes sense 😊

Loving this. Great game

Me too! Hoping Cote D’ivoire snatch a last minute winner! Think they deserve it

Well I fucking jinxed that didn’t I! 🙈

Yep

CIV had their chances but couldn't take them.

Jammy buggers.

😆 🤣 didn't expect that result after Ivory Coast came out all guns blazing after first half.

I caught the end of the Germany Cote d'Ivoire match. What an ending!

The Netherlands are on fire!

Great result for Curaçao - drew 0-0 with Ecuador! The Curaçao goalkeeper was unbelievable, saved a record number of goals.

My insomnia’s much easier to endure when the WC is on all night!

ah i wanted ivory coast to win

and poor tunisia,
they sacked their manager after the previous loss
and now they are out 4 0 to japan

I wanted the Germans to lose , but I guessed they wouldn’t.

my dh saw the 1966, being scottish they werent sure who to support but went with england in the end!

I definitely want England to win. But I do have Netherlands in my work sweep stake 🤔

The Curaçao goalkeeper Elroy Room has equalised Tim Howard record of saves made in a single game.

He also gained lots of followers on SM

I think that if Germany comes up against the Netherlands they might struggle , but they fight for everything and can’t be ruled out. They never give up do they.

Your DH must be pissed off that Scotland keeping drawing Brazil early in in world cup games!

Spain have got some credibility to regain in this match.

Great cross and finish. Spain 1-0.

They’re banging them in!

3 goals in 23 minutes

Phew!
