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

[placemats]

Let's continue the discussion.

France lost badly against Spain

Very emotional message from Barry.

@PhaedraTwo I think you mean Steve Warnock's voice?

You see I'm not sure about us co hosting, the only good thing about the WC held in the USA is that it's stopped the bottom feeders attending because of the price of the tickets plus you can't have a criminal record to enter the USA, but if it's co hosted in the UK then I'll think they'll be trouble...

Because of their Manager making stupid decisions and maybe because Argentina are a formidable team (dirty players tho)

At least we don't have a 30 minute show

Well this is worth staying up for!
It's midnight here and what a score line at HT!

⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️

Dream game! C'mon lads 🙌

There's not been any trouble from England fans this time not even here, no major incidents. Everyone who's got beef is sitting at home on Twitter!

I almost feel safe enough to say - well, at least we don't have to worry about extra time ...

Eek jinx

Even the pundits are saying Argentina will be watching would have been relieved England didn't play the Rashford/Saka combo in the semi final.

As the kids might say, France have totally lost their 'aura'.

A week ago, it seemed as if the tournament was theirs to lose. Now, they seem disjointed, deflated and totally lacking in pride, team spirit and self belief.

There's an element of truth about what you're saying. Some of the comments following England's defeat in the Semi final on these threads were awful 😞

I'm glad I missed most of those - I haven't bothered to read back.

Rashford off

Rashford off. Watkins on

Need to be careful now

To be fair there was only one poster intent on bringing in political discussion on this thread and wouldn’t let up.

So happy we won't have to listen to that bloody countdown for much longer!

Yes it's the danger zone, they might relax a bit, we've seen it so many times

France will be mortified at this

LOL aww go Mbappe, happy for him!

Mbappe goal

GOOOAAAL Mbappé

French score
