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

Well, wouldn't you if you had to meet the Argentinian team?

I would like to add my thanks to placemats for carrying on these threads, and to all the posters' that have contributed.
I have only posted on this one, but have read them all. I work nights so have watched a ridiculous amount of fabulous football the last 6 weeks & these threads have added value and laughs.
Am going to try to contribute more to the rolling football threads cause they are great too.

And Again.....Vamos Espana.....😃

Carney is a toffee

Not just in Spain! I recall Italy winning the WC when we lived in Germany and the Italians were driving round, horns blaring, radios screaming all night!

Really? I didn't know that. That's great!

Commonwealth Games, 10 sports, about 74 teams, from Glasgow.

On TNT Sports, with highlights at 10:30pm on Channel 5.
Opening ceremony this Thursday.

The music is doing my head in ! Who’s in charge of tne music ? 🎶

Not on the BBC? Pffffffffffft.

Messi in tears

Disgusting!

A male corset to keep his tum contained?

Donnie 🍊is finding it difficult to award the medals in synchronisation. 😂

I know. I love it.

🤣🤣🤣

DH "Messi has a funny looking face"
Me "is it a face you like to punch? Oh wait no. Only the Argentinans do that."

It looked so awkward 🤣

I thought ' oh there's a Scottish name, and English name and a Welsh name, but he's Rodrigo!

Hurry upppppppppppppppppp!

Yes! and Infantino too

Whats with the cabin crew ?

I almost feel sorry for Josh, a fantastic achievement that's been over-shadowed by the WC.

Thing is, I'd have some sympathy for Messi crying if he hadn't been such a massive shit for two weeks to other players and the refs, and if he hadn't encouraged cheating at an industrial scale.

Inject it into my veins.

Did I miss the golden boot being announced?

The Spanish players having more grace that I would, guard of honour for Molina who hit Gavi and Garcia?

I think I'd be tempted to do a Nelson Muntz ha ha!
