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

[placemats]

The other one is full

Looks like it!

Coming late to this thread! Frustrated by how slowly Ingerland are playing. Where is the 'packetball' that was supposed to be coming from the last game?!

We've had a huge amount of possession but that has to translate into goals.

Agree with thus synopsis. Hard to penetrate a deep defence.

Declan Rice looks like he’s dropped an E before playing 😂 (I’m sure he hasn’t) he looks thrilled even when getting a yellow card.

I think England should’ve dropped back themselves and also played defensively, forcing them into their half and hoping for a breakaway. Please note I have zero professional footballing experience and feel like a fraud making any comments at all!

Let’s hope that half time has kicked the England players into touch!! They are not showing any fight..all a bit flat 😩

You're not doing too bad for a novice! X

I think Rice would have shook his hand, they were teammates.

1 nil for us and we will take it.

They mentioned the handshake on the BBC. I think they said Spence didn’t shake hands, I could be wrong. They clearly stated the allegations

Substitute a load of players please

This clearly isn’t working

Definitely agree. Cape Verde did much better and half their players are in their mid 30s!

Same sentiments.

Two subs at least

Glad to see Gordon going off

At this rate I’ll be ok with a 0-0 😳

Embarrassing when you see the amount of predictions for a 5-0 to England! It’s coming home yes, the team in the group stage 😑

This is embarrassing isn’t it.
Seems to have been a breakdown somewhere.

Yes he wasn't working

Had to laugh when commentator asked if Mika Richards was still awake. 😃

We totally deserve this score line. Ghana walking all over us and we are playing far too slowly and making too many mistakes.

As Shearer is saying Ghana are defending brilliantly. We are not attacking enough. Nowhere near enough. Don’t rate our chances of winning after this game.

Managing Pickford must be a nightmare

I think Ghana are rough
Can understand Bellingham being subbed before he lamped someone!

Pickford is the only sticker I’m missing from my M&S World Cup album
