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 🏆

Thank you! x

England actually have some of the earliest kick off times of any team.

We do. Some.

2 at 9pm and 1 at 10pm.

Checking in, I absolutely love the World Cup (and all other football) really looking forward to it!

I can't agree more!!!!

I’ve seen those times but thanks!

An hour to go!

Here's my shockingly shite display 😄

Ive left the flags in the car, cant go downstairs now so this will do

Ive got some balloons, might try and stick them up as well 🤔

Welcome welcome

Me too!

Are we all assembled?!

Its opening ceremony time ⚽️

Does anyone know of someone whos gone to the US?

I saw a guy on tiktok whos spent close to 15k!! - he'll be attending several games

Its time!!

I think that the bbc reporters and commentators are based in Salford - whilst itv are based in New York! 😄

Have my wine poured ,looking forward to watching the ceremony. We have family sweepstake that my son set up online…just a bit of fun £10 each and it draws my son in Oz to be included. Enjoy ⚽️⚽️ I have group D 🙏

That ITV set is a bit busy interiors wise. Flipping amazing view though.
Terrible shirts from both Pougatch and Wright. I also like football, not just here for interiors and costumes :) but still…,

Thanks for the thread. I'm team England but not letting myself get my hopes up as we've been too close so many times. Love Saka ❤️ 😍

My BIL has gone to Miami and has tickets for Scotland/ Brazil …he is Scottish and has packed his kilt 😂

I'm so excited 🙈🙈😄😄

Omgg lucky thing! Itll be a tough match against Brazil but i'm rooting for Scotland!

We love saka too!

Saka is a hero in our family…all Arsenal fans!

Love it 😆 🤣

Hear hear!

😅😅😅 thank you! You should've seen me once it was up

Even dd looked unimpressed

He's great isn't he. Did well in the Euros.
