FIFA World Cup 2026 pre-tournament draw, qualifying and banter thread

Funnily enough Canada is worse. 2 tickets to Canada - Bosnia, which lets be real, nobody will watch, are 3.3k CAD. Cheapest I could find. Add in travel + hotel(in Toronto) and you're easily paying 4k for 2 people to watch Canada - Bosnia, which again, nobody will watch.

8pm on a Friday evening in the UK. We will be there.

Might require some drinking and gambling to fully enjoy.

As a Canadian, we thank you. We could use the views.

Only way to watch most games.

Arsenal players in shambles

Real Madrid players at World Cup: 10
Crystal Palace players at World Cup: 12

Yeah but Tahith Chong winning the Curacao top goalscorer @ 14/1 bet with 1 goal is is whats gonna hit like crack

A Blades player winning WC golden boot would be the story arc that would blow my mind ngl

I didn’t bet on him for golden boot, just to be curacaos top goalscorer (14/1 Denise)

so who's our hero? (also not me)

tournament starts on the 11th...

Not me either but we do need a hero. This thing needs to start all ready. Any one from USA/Mexico/Canada want to step up since they are hosting irl?

I got a bet $250 on the WC winner to also win $50 bonus bets for each goal they score. Spain is the obvious choice, right? Easy group, so I should easily get my money back in bonus bets from just the group and then I also have the win equity.

Or is there another team I should target?

Spain are favourites to be the highest scoring team so if you are getting $50 per goal then that is a good one to go for.
