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

[placemats]

The other one is full

No risk of ET and penalties tonight I think!

The French world cup team is basically Paris Saint Germain. No wonder they keep winning the European Cup.

It only takes two seconds to score a goal.

Koeman did something amazingly cynical once as a player against England, didn't he? Can't remember exactly what.

Van Basten was the king of "professional" fouls. Took the card when needed. Brilliant player.

I haven't watched a lot of the WC, but France are the first side I've seen who've really impressed. Are there any other good contenders?

Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Mexico.

Oh that's a beautiful goal from Mbappé

Fabulous goal

Forgot England.

The French defence is sublime

It's still early days but I'm struggling to see anyone beat France. They are so fluid, every player dangerous.

I think, if they meet, Argentina could cause them problems.

New thread. A bit early. However this will fill up quickly tomorrow. Night night everyone 🌝😴

Oops posted on the new thread! I have just turned on the Mexico game.

Just in time for a goal!

Another great goal! 2-0 Mexico

France seem unstoppable, but I admit I haven’t seen any Argentinian games at all.

I really hope it’s a straight forwards game for England. They already look done in and don’t need too many dramas especially with Mexico looming if they get through tonight!

I think Mexico will be very tough if we win tonight.
