FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - DISCUSSION AND WATCHALONG THREAD ⚽️. Part 2

[placemats]

The other one is full

Me too. They have been brilliant.

Well go Cape Verde - a no score draw with Saudi and Spain beating Uruguay puts them second in the group. Well done

Very much agree, and in any event this isn't the French team of maybe a decade back or slightly more where some characters were highly disruptive.

Do however share the concerns of another poster that at times the French defence looks porous...that's their weakness.

Think their defence did well last night. They have the likes of Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez who play for some of the best teams in the world so hopefully they’ll get it together.

Great about Cabo Verdi qualifying!

Scotland's chances are reduced to0.07% 😬

Scotland's World Cup hopes at 0.07% - these are results they need

The timings have been off putting…loads of good games in the middle of the night. I suppose it’s due to the heat but they are pretty late even in US time

Who’s watching the Panama game later on?

Moi. I’ve got my England shirt on ready and I’m going to wear it on the bus through Camden to get to a mate’s to watch together

Me!

Still have to collect a teen
Drinks for all chilling in fridge

We shall be in position in expectation of some wonderful pretty football

can’t wait

If my eyes can keep awake, four hot sleepless nights in a row. Not sure hydration breaks will work!

Me too, hate this different start times!

Might depend on how exciting the game is!

How about diet cokes lots of ice, lots of ice, optional vodka, all round?

I'm going to be switching between the footie and the Glasto thingy on BBC 2.

Crap, I thought it was 9. I have to wait until 10??

Yes another hour of adverts and pointless talk between, checks notes, Ant and Dec.

The Specials on the Glasto thingy. It's giving early 80s.

Come on our boys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’m watching the Glastonbury past hits on bbc two.
I loved the specials. Was so sad when Terry Hall died.
Too much too young is a classic and I always fancied him.
The kick off is late isn’t it :(

Love that song

Too much too young is a very moral song when you think about it! Don’t go adding to the population boom!

It’s Lionel now. He was taken ill the other day I heard.

Oh no 😮

Karma Police 🥰
