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

[placemats]

The other one is full

Omg the tension. It’s been blowing up all day. Scream

Agree ,I always thought that no country could out do the Welsh national anthem but that was spine tingling. Come on Scotland and yes I am an England supporter!

It really is so hot - my bedroom is 32 🥵

Thank you! x I’m not Scottish but had a Scottish uncle by marriage and have several Scots 2nd and 3rd cousins and a first cousin. Paisley, Perthshire. Uncle was in navy, then gold diamond mining in Nigeria and Ghana, earned enough to send his only child to Scottish prep school and Fettes. Lovely man, into his footie and golf.

WTF Scotland

Ffs

Christ, that was a howler.

Aah never mind🤦‍♀️

Oh boys.

Oh ffs

It's going to be a hard enough game without gifting them a goal.

3 points may scrape through in 3rd if the goal.difference doesn't get shellacked.

Lurking as it is too hot to sleep.

Aw ☹️

I’m sweating like a proverbial pig on my sofa. No idea about heat inside outside is 25. Doesn’t feel like it. Dante’s inferno, seventh circle of hell springs to mind.

At least it’s an early goal so enough time for Scots to catch up.

Absolutely 👍

They need to channel the Cape Verde defence and have a super john mcginn special or two.

Always an early goal

Or Ghana defence

Right I gotta put this sweaty small whiny boy in his bed. Will listen on my phone

Oh God that was so frustrating.

Totally the fault of number 26 and not the goalkeeper who is probably kicking himself.

Good point, I was very impressed by them.

Out of interest, how much weight do you think I can lose in sweat during this game? It feels like ounces already.

So their losing won't necessarily rule Scotland out unless it's a big loss.

Pesky children! Let’s hope he falls asleep soon.

Goal difference will be key. But the later groups will know what they need to do, and there have been fixes before (looks sternly at Austria amd Germany).
