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

[placemats]

Let's continue the discussion.

I think many of us would like that result 😀

Agreed

If England can score one more then Mbappe can have one more - anything to beat tosspot to the golden boot.

Didn’t know it was associated with Thatcher too

Ohhh nearly

I was only going to watch the first half, I've got to be up at 6 for the airport 🙈

The 2 are possible. Good outcome

I think the golden boot is too late for mbappe

Lucky escape there!

I was thinking exactly the same Plenty of time for France to score 2 more goals - or 3!

They have just missed 2 by a narrow margin!

Omg

Oh lord we’ve gone to sleep just as France woke up.

I don't have to be up, but I am sooooo tired. Can't stop watching tho! 😆

Well FINALLY. France woke up and decided to play after all.

In the Cabinet meetings. Think it was Michael Heseltine who said it.

Yep, England need to step up again! They're slacking in the second half! C'MON LADS!

.

Rashford was their lucky charm!

He's up to 10 goals now

Have there been many long range goals in this tournament?

Wish Mbappe would feck off.

I only found out from the book "killing Thatcher" recently. Amazing book even though that's a massive digression from the football.

Why they took him off is beyond me, him and Saka were a dream....

This time last week I was willing the Norway match not to go to extra time as I had a flight the next day.

I wasn't going to bother with this match but have got sucked in! At least I don't have an early start tomorrow.

Good save!

ANOTHER great save from Henderson!
