The 2026 World Cup Thread

Naturalising over-the-hill rejects from other countries... bravo. You (mostly) SAF nincompoops have truly outdone yourselves. Hint: Naturalise them before their lanjiao has grown hair. Assuming of course, you can find those foolish enough to want that.

By the time the FAS completed the paperwork, those foreign-born footballers with S'porean lineage or played at least 5 years in the S-League or SPL were already in their late 20s to early 30s.

R16 no luck!
BRA 1-2 NOR, 1st half 0-0
Nor leading 1-0 until
after 89 min 2 goals.
Canada can't even score a goal!!!

 

[Charlie99]

May be your bet will be better re England vs Mexico

 

[Baimi]

Tough nut cracked by J. Bellingham with his head, then his head sakit, so he used his leg to score the 2nd goal, assisted by H. Kane, I thought he was going to shoot.
Mexico 1-2 England half time.

 

[Charlie99]

Very exciting game.
Two penalties, one for England one for Mexico, with England 3 Mexico 2

 

[laksaboy]

If it goes to extra time, Mexico will win. High altitude and England one man down.

Current top scorer Standings

• Lionel Messi (Argentina) – 7 goals
• Kylian Mbappé (France) – 7 goals
• Erling Haaland (Norway) – 7 goals
• Harry Kane (England) – 6 goals

 

[Baimi]

Still no win for R16, can predict the winner but not the score, predicting the score is more challenging.
Luckily got 4D to cover.

Fans from less developed countries are like that.

Trump wants to play political football, politics football will not win you anything.
So, USA, just like the other host nations, take a bow and fark out.

FIFA has not officially announced
an investigation into the referee, Ilgiz Tantashev, despite facing widespread demands and pressure from outraged fans and media to suspend him. [1, 2]
The heavy backlash stems from the World Cup Round of 16 match between France and Paraguay, where Tantashev failed to issue a single yellow card to any Paraguay player despite multiple fouls and aggressive on-field tactics. French and British pundits, as well as players like Kylian Mbappé, strongly criticized his inability to control the match or protect players from rough challenges

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

FIFA is rotten to the core. I hope Belgium smash the USA on Tuesday.

Favoritism for the home team did not stop England from beating Mexico.

Less oxygen at high altitude, referee could not think properly.

Norway has never lost in 5 meetings with Brazil. The Vikings won 3 and drew 2 games, so why were Brazil the favourites in this match?
