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

[placemats]

The other one is full

If England go out on penalties, at least we're in good company!

I only watched the Brazil v Japan game yesterday as I'm catching up on sleep.
Just watched the highlights on BBC Sport app.
It was soft as that disallowed goal, not complaining the Germans are out though.
Such a horrible way to go out, I hate seeing them crying on the floor.
I have never watched a penalty shoot out, or any live penalty involved United or England in my life. It's too stressful 😂

My goodness two big teams out! 😮

This is quite the surprise.

It is tough , especially as German had a faultless record on penalty shoot outs. It’s got to hurt.
Goes to show that penalties are not easy wins and how hard it is under pressure.

One of Morocco's penalties was an own goal by the Dutch keeper.

How disgraceful!

Oh no, an own goal too!

Verbruggen nearly saved the penalty, it bounced awkwardly off him.

Morocco were the better team, Koeman had set the Netherlands up far too defensively and it cost them.

Three tough games last night.

So unfortunate 😔

That is fucking awful

I guess on the positive side, we won't be going out to Germany on penalties...

I have to say though, those stuttering run ups are looking worse and worse now. Hopefully people will stop doing them.

Anyone watching the game? Norway v Cote d'Ivoire match?

Ironing because I'm packing.

Goal for Norway!

Nearly 2

Yes i’m watching!

Are you packing to go anywhere nice?

1-1!

Ivory Coast equalise and deserved so

Yes. Cote d'Ivoire! Paused TV and caught up. Phew.

Goaaaal Norway. And it's Haaland.

Yay Norway! They posed for that hot Viking photo didn’t they?

Have been to Rome and Sicily, Taormina, in May. Now off to the best city in the world. London x

I have family there x

A little dink, he found it funny too😅

That was a selfish manoeuvre from Haaland. Norway could have scored another if he'd passed. Flip me Cote d'Ivoire nearly scored

Ooh it’s getting spicy!
