Go Senegal! Love Sadio Mane’s spirit.

I was thinking how great it would be to have Michael Olise play for England. He and Kane would continue their fabulous Bayern Munich partnership!

Would be interesting to know his reasons for choosing the French team.

How did they not score!

HoraceCope · 01/07/2026 21:20

I hope Senegal win their appeal to reclaim the African Nations cup

I think Mexico will be a much tougher game than many expect.

I have zero faith we'll get through it based on performances thus far.

But I'll still drag my arse out of bed at 1am on a sodding Monday morning to watch it 😡

Everyone knows Mexico are a brilliant side.
They are on home ground.
Their fans are loud.
The fans have also been making lots of noise outside the opponents hotels, to try and keep them awake…

Goooaall!

PickfordsWaterBottle · 01/07/2026 21:25

What happened?

PickfordsWaterBottle · 01/07/2026 21:27

IAmKerplunk · 01/07/2026 21:26

What happened?

Their win got overturned and given to Morocco

HoraceCope · 01/07/2026 21:28

IAmKerplunk · 01/07/2026 21:26

What happened?

They were winning and disagreed with a penalty and walked off the pitch, they came back and went on to win . Had the trophy, but officials decided to give the cup to their opponents Morocco they are appealing

Maggiethecat · 01/07/2026 21:32

They beat Morocco in the finals of the African Nations cup after some shenanigans when they walked off the pitch in protest.
They returned eventually and beat Morocco on penalties.
Morocco subsequently appealed and won.

Senegal should not be underestimated.

Streaker?

HoraceCope · 01/07/2026 21:34

What a waste of a ticket for the pranksters

Livpool · 01/07/2026 22:02

Senegal are streets ahead of Belgium!

littlbrowndog · 01/07/2026 22:14

PickfordsWaterBottle · 01/07/2026 22:15

Great goal

the80sweregreat · 01/07/2026 22:19

Senegal is on fire. 🔥

Livpool · 01/07/2026 22:44

Come on Senegal - only 10 minutes left (plus the usual 6 minutes I have noticed 🤦🏼‍♀️)

moto748e · 01/07/2026 22:44

Wow! I left this to watch the Light In The Hall, and just switched it back on and Senegal are bossing it still. I wish England looked as good.

Are the hydration breaks considered part of the game, or not? I thought it was weird that the clock wasn't stopped, but perhaps they just add an extra six mins at the end?

They always add 3mins on for the hydration break.
