** World Cup 2026 - USA, Canada, Mexico Thread **
Saw no thread was active yet while it starts tomorrow so I'd gave it a go
No real time for an extensive write-up but lets
free drogba
I swear all the refs so far do not want to award a corner if they can help it.
Also that new VAR rule can take a corner away if mistakenly awarded, but it cant give one if the opposite happens. Weird.
Banger of a game winner.
ivory coast wim
and another south american team loses...
Ecuador went from dark horse to one foot out the door real fast
3 teams advancing is pretty AIDS. May as well go to 64 teams.
Game on. Looked over at 2-0.
Gyokeres so wasteful.
And of course he scores right after I say that lmao.
tunisia kinda ****ed with netherlands and japan still to play huh? tough draw
games start an hour earlier tomorrow:
spain vs cape verde (in atlanta)
belgium vs egypt (in seattle)
saudi arabia vs uruguay (in miami)
iran vs new zealand (in inglewood)
Sweden looks scary if the defense holds up.
Tunisia punted away like 3 goals though.
sup loose, you goin to any of the games?
actually, open q to everyone
don't think i am. aint nobody got money for that
i'm going to be looking at tickets to see if they drop, right now there's stuff for about 400 and think it'll get cheaper
going to feel awfully bad 10-20 years from now if i don't go to a world cup game played 2 miles from my house
have massive regrets not shelling out $100 to see brazil argentina olympic final to this day
Subbed. Super excited to see it come home.
They are still like 1.20 (83%) to go through. Having Curacao in your group is pretty chilling.
Insane - I know I should just relax and enjoy more football (I'm not) but this format drives me nuts - maybe it's just me but I also feel like the average quality/stakes/anticipation of each group stage has gone down quite a bit compared to the usual format.
Out of the whole group stage, there are maybe 3 neutral games that I've marked as wanting to watch
My proposal : make it 64-team so that FIFA can get even more money than they do today with 2 group stages (8x4)
First 16 seeds get a bye and are automatically in 2nd group stage. The other 16 come from the first "preliminary" group-stage
The smart podcasters tried to sell us Ecuador & Paraguay as some kind of dark horses because of their super-elite defense
Maybe, it's just a matter of lol CONMEBOL?
Beating scrubs 'sete a um' is kina our thing in the World Cup.
And we don't distinguish between LÖLCACAF and CONMELÖL scrubs, either.
For nostalgia's sake, here is a selection of fappy-avvies I found lying around (I won't take requests for new ones, of course):
Spoiler
the gabor kiraly sweatpants wanker one takes me back
Hydration breaks might be s hit but the VAR team having to strike a pose for the camera before every game is hilarious.
some use the pose to flash a white supremacy sign
lol tunisia, seems a bit weird to do that one game in.
