FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - DISCUSSION AND WATCHALONG THREAD ⚽️. Part 8

[placemats]

Let's continue the discussion.

I’ve rented a rug doctor so am cleaning carpets before sitting down for the match.

I am going to watch the England/ Argentina rugby first !

England v Argentina in (ETA: somewhere north of) Buenos Aires just started. They've already whistled/ jeered through the UK National Anthem. Interminable Arg anthem on now

I'm watching England and Argentina playing rugby. It's in Argentina. Whistles and boos during the England national anthem. England team before the match said that they will walk off the pitch if there is any racist abuse.
So this will be interesting.

Best of 3 if we win. What can we play Argentina at next week?

I might do a bit of tai chi before the footie so that my backside doesn't become one with the sofa!

Running a mile? Literally.

15 a side boxing it looks like

It's kicking off at the rugby already!

I know the scrapping! They've only been playing 10 seconds!

Am going to cook paella and Spanish omelette for tomorrow ! Spain will have gained so many world wide supporters for tomorrow barring Trump 🤦‍♀️
Am hoping that England win tonight 🙏🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Very happy at our lead so far! Go on boys!

Me & H in

teens might have more fun things to do this evening but might drift in

most definitely not quite the match atmosphere as previously

but still

Yes it's very ironic isn't it 😂lets hope we get the sweet moment he has to hand the cup to Spain .
He loves the argie president apparently.

Not impressed with the line up

Any chance of a separate Rugby thread in sports?

Does anyone else think they have muted the supporters? Doesn’t seem to be any crowd noise…obviously talking about the rugby.

Just seen that. Guess he's trying to let everyone have a go. Rubbish for my fantasy football score. At least Mbappé still starting.

It's what I expected would happen. Tuchel not taking it seriously.

It's a disappointment for me as well.

. quoted wrong post

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to derail. I got carried away a bit there with it being Argentina.. Will keep to the football.

What’s the line up? Where can I find it?

England XI: D. Henderson; Quansah, Konsa, Guehi, Spence; Rice, Eze; Saka, Rogers, Rashford; Toney

I use the FIFA app but it's probably online everywhere now.
