Carrying on from the last thread. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/world-cup-2026/5556172-fifa-world-cup-2026-discussion-and-watchalong-thread-part-9

Good!

I'm slightly wtf at the actual Spanish singing Y Viva Espana 😬

Oh! This year I'm off to Sunny Spain, Y Viva Espana
I'm taking the Costa Brava 'plane, Y Viva Espana
If you'd like to chat a matador, in some cool cabana
And meet senoritas by the score, Espana por favor

Nico Williams played superbly well. Man of the match for me

Been great watching with you lot - right result
Thanks placemats for all the threads
enjoy the presentation

FOOTBALL 1 : SHITHOUSERY 0

disgraceful behaviour from ARG should be some form of sanction for that post whistle behaviour. Thugs.

We got a Dutch version as well

Deserved

Isn't bambelo better ?

Don’t know. But Trump was supportive of them doing it again at the final because, you know, free speech 🙄

Wait for it. Argentina will lodge a complaint and Trump will say they were robbed and get Spain disqualified for some made up reason which FIFA will agree with.

This.
I reckon there were loads of backhanders to 'influence' a win for Argentina.

That means he can't go up and get his medal doesn't it?

Thank you placemats for all the threads. And everyone for the past month

despite my team Scotland being out. But just so enjoyed the sport

bloody loved it

Why the delay in getting the podium set up? I want my bed!

Yamal is fantastic

Thanks for this thread @placemats , it’s been great sharing with you and everyone x

Yep, bit conflicting

😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

lamine Yamal is so sweet isn’t he and so young! What a great role model

I went to an Anglo - Spanish wedding and they played that 😄

So glad Argentina lost . Their conduct throughout this tournament has been shameful. It's good that that children who look at these players as role models will see that bullying and showing no respect to others does not pay off.

Hell, but there's some fine specimens on that pitch

Yamal is 19 years old and has braces. Such admiration for this young man.

Norfolk!

Spain, which is the only country in Europe, if not the world, to stand up to Trump’s tariffs and call the bastard out for his crap. He’ll probably refuse to hand them the trophy, because they’re evil lefties.

Thank you for the threads, it's been a blast. That Mexico match ... !!
