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 🏆

Welcome welcome! 🥰🥰

Got some sauvignon blanc in the fridge!

If i could figure out how to work a sweepstake, I could've done a mumsnet one!

Scotland, I love how all their fans are just adored worldwide. The side stories of the fans are great, France is my second choice as I love the country

Was it the euros or the last world cup that he missed that final penalty?? I remember my heart breaking for him, he was like 18 or something 😄😄

We love him

Oh Brill Wrighty is there. That will cheer up the panel.

Euro 2021.

I love Scottish fans as well - and Scottish people tbh!

Plus, a man in a kilt... 😍

That would be fun but I am absolutely clueless..my son set it up and videoed the draw .

Horrible abuse our 3 lions got. He would handle that differently now he's older with more confidence.

Oh i remember watching - gosh dd is 7 now, she was a baby then 🥺🥺

My heart broke for him, but hes done so well hasn't he!

😆 🤣 😂

My BIL looks beautiful in his kilt …we ignore the belly😂He is great fun and certainly not a spring chicken!

Oh i'm sure! Did rashford miss as well?

I dont remember the abuse for some reason, maybe because I was still self isolating 😫 (no idea why) but i saw the documentary about it recently

Yes Rashford missed. Has the ceremony been on yet? X

No, we are watching the man from Man vs Food talk about football in America.

Oh i think the men always look good, no matter their size! 😄 love that hes great fun - thats why people love scottish fans, just more relaxed than some English fans

Saka, Sancho and Rashford all missed and were then subjected to horrible abuse by nasty bastards calling themselves fans :(

Not yet - theres some American man talking to a woman about something

I'd rather have Ian roy and the other guy talking

Disgusting behaviour.

Yeah I can't get on with the women talking about the mens game. Going to settle to watch. Thanks again Mums ❤️ 💙

Opening ceremony starting now @LuckyHazelFox

Why is the fat bloke who eats lots of food on it (Man versus Food)? Adam Richmond, coz he eats lots of sausages?

Got it x

Going well so far. Nowt happening

Big spurs fan apparently

😄😄
