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 🏆

It will have the Donald in full USA kit doing a lap of honour with the trophy. Anyone who scores against the USA will be deported, he will elect himself as President of FIFA and the trophy will be renamed the Donald Trump trophy.

England and Norway. I wonder what would happen if Iran were to knock USA out in the knockouts? Would Trump nuke Tehran??????

We won’t win. We always get worked up every time and then bitterly disappointed and let down.

I'll stay up for all games I can. Any team, not just those I support.

😂😂

Love this!

All our livers are gonna be buggered! 🤣

Plus if you don’t fancy your home country cocktails (ours are boring!) you could pick the opposition team, not to cheer them on though!

I would do this but sadly have sleep and job to think of. 😭

Sorry I went quiet everyone 😅

Prepping my living room for tomorrow. Thats just lots of balloons for dd, and getting it lovely and tidy

Really looking forward to it now!

Milk thistle for liver (only joking!). That’s nice you’re prepping. Might buy some England themed goodies/tableware at weekend.

🤣 can’t wait to see what he does, not!

Why should we even consider supporting Scotland?!! Whenever England are playing they always support our opponents and cheer when we lose. So no definitely not supporting Scotland .

I have Scottish relatives by marriage so worst comes to worst I’ll support them.

Irish, deciding who to support once it all starts.

Is there a fantasy game somewhere?
I played in the Euros and it was great fun. I've tried searching but can't find any link.

I'm a fan of the glaswegian accent so i'll be rooting for them as well 😄

Love that show! Christine is epic.

Sat for the england match - which isnt on for another hour so I am watching emmerdale 😄

Its my fave ever show! I think in their accents sometimes 😄

The match times are awful! 8pm and 3am!!

Omgg 😄😄😄 your house will be fun this summer i bet!

Agree they need to be entertaining! Poor you though with all those mouths to feed!

That sound and vision room sounds epic though!

This is a great idea
