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

[placemats]

Let's continue the discussion.

France goal

Yikes

Oh jeez

Who wanted mbappe to score?

The French have woken up!

🤦🏽‍♀️

Goal France Barcola

You can stop now.

Ummmm hides under a rock 😅

What does that mean? I appreciate most of you are English but there was a horrific child abuse trial up here in Scotland involving a hairdryer this week so it's unfortunate wording.

Arretez s'il vous plait.

I wonder if Tuchel will let this play out whichever way it goes and then just shrug and repeat it's all what ifs without outcomes....

Perhaps France's devious plan was to let England get 4 goals up then whizz past them and win!

Well done Rice

Bloody good save there from our goalie!

Good game this!

Ooof that was a near thing! 😧

Whew!

hors de jeu

Ah ok - sorry about that. It refers to what Man U players referred to with Alex Ferguson where they got yelled at at half time if they weren’t playing well

Great save Henderson

Bring on Big Dan Burn!

I want Mbappe to win the golden boot and England to win. Is that too much to ask for?

It was a thing when Alex Ferguson shouted so hard in dressing room that the players felt like they had been hairdrierd

It's a common football term for a bollocking (also associated Maggie Thatcher)

A 2 goal lead suddenly doesn't feel enough...
