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 🏆

😄 will you support anyone else if england happen not to make it to the end?

Feel free to add photos of your TV room set ups! (Or pub photos!)

Will add mine once I hopefully get the bunting - for now ive only got dd's balloons

Looks like England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v 🇨🇷 Costa Rica has been delayed due to storms 👀

No I'll just be upset. 😀

😄 fairs

England v Costa Rica is quite interesting viewing

1-0 now at half time - Madueke missed an open goal, i'm sure hes kicking himself

Enjoying this match!

Me too! Its better than their last friendly

Finally 🙄

no idea!

Ooh that’s a good plan.

Missed first English match but was recovering after a fall yesterday, having a bath and relaxing. Good win.

Thanks to all the mess in the US I've never been less excited about a World Cup in my life.. but I am sure that will change once the competition gets going.

Supporting England but will also keep a look out for Spurs players past and present.. definitely cheering on South Korea.

Not Argentina though.. Cristian Romero can f*ck off.

Actually no, let's edit that. Argentina do brilliantly, Romero's sale price goes up and up, and we can then sell him for an extortionate profit.

HAPPY WORLD CUP DAY ⚽️🏆

I'm sorry 💐 xx

Hope youre okay, and well enough to watch tonight and get a little pished!?!

I think same, once we get past the group stages, people will be really rooting for it!

Came here to say this! I always used to support Scotland/Wales/NI and even Ireland alongside England but their hatred of us has jaded me a bit.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Can't wait for the Opening Ceremony, very intrigued to see what it will be like

Need to get some bunting in and we are ready here!

Looking forward to seeing Trump do something embarrassing at the Opening Ceremony! 🙄😄

Same, really interested

Is it 250 years of independence now, that'll factor in i reckon, along with the orange man making it about himself!

Oh god for some reason I hadn't anticipated him being there 😬

The opening ceremony is in Mexico, so hopefully he won't have too much involvement!

Oh yeah of course!

Can I join please?

Love a World Cup but it feels like nobody is getting excited about this one… hopefully it will build up once it gets going.

Doesn’t help that most of our matches are at stupid o’clock. Can’t imagine our pubs being happy at that either with the loss of trade.
