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

[placemats]

The other one is full

Ffs - knew it was coming though

Oh wow, and a great save too

Another great save!

Great match ! Would quite like Japan to win this game!

Feels wrong seeing him score without hearing ... De de de de Casemiro

Missed Brazil goal because I was putting the bin out. General household rubbish. So prosaic.

It is isnt it! Would love Japan to oust Brazil

And indeed it was the beautiful CASEMIRO 🥰

Annoys me when the commentators talk about quarters 😡

Saw the replay. Japan are feisty.

These advert breaks pretending to be drinks breaks are really really winding me up.

The commentators are actually saying things like "first quarter"

Really changes the pace and flow of the game!! 😡

What do American tv stations do when the World Cup is held elsewhere? Do they still have ad breaks?

Good question! I don't know the answer.

Especially when they say that Japan is 45 minutes away from defeating Brazil. More like 55 minutes. It's really not good.

Eta saying it at half time.

The odd World cup, FA cup final etc I've seen on TV in the States has not had ad breaks during the halves.

Oh please beat Brazil 🇧🇷 Japan! 🇯🇵

on way home from gym so missing match but my gym manager at circuits class updated on the score mid class.

So they should be.

Yeah we’re not playing American football. 🏈

I don't want either of these teams to win the World Cup

Do Japan have to win this game? Eg does it go to extra time and penalties at the end?

Well no, but be good to see Brazil ousted.

Yes. It’s now knock out

Ah thank you.

Ah yes it is extra time then pens

Thank you. Had forgotten.
