** 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
No penalties in this World Cup unless you absolutely clean someone out.
LOL Kane
Extremely dubious sequence of (non) calls there. I can see why VAR ignores the Pickford moment (ref is blind), but how is that ever not a penalty? Please explain
Harry Kane hit the ball over the goal....I think we've seen that before....
England should join CONCACAF.

100%. Dude jumps in and gets nothing but his opponent. Since VAR came in the ball being gone has become less of a consideration too.

Southgate sat somewhere with a huge grin on his face after watching that performance.
I think the solution is if you are going to have this many teams it is to put all the good teams in the same groups and all the bad teams in the same groups. But not like the worst of the worst, have a few goodish teams have the privilege of getting a soft group.
But honestly a good solution is also 24 teams advance with top 8 group winners getting byes.
Croatia are totally cooked
Croatia getting outplayed by Panama.
This seems like the one tournament where Croatia is just too old.
Explosion of action!
Panama defender couldn't have defended that more poorly lol. Just steps up and gives away a clean break instead of sprinting back.
. Trying to get last minute Croatia - Panama tickets but still well over 1k for them...

Yeaā¦ā¦this is basically why Iām not bothering with any matches unfortunately. The amount of money it would cost for me to do any of the matches in Santa Clara is obscene and Iād also have to find a hotel near SFO(which is a complete donotwant).
This is like in old championship manager when you'd sometimes get super-keepered in random matches.
the all important matchday 3 starts tomorrow:
bosnia & herzegovina 1pt vs qatar 1pt (in seattle)
canada 4pts vs switzerland 4pts (in vancouver)
morocco 4pts vs haiti 0pts (in atlanta)
scotland 3pts vs brazil 4pts (in miami)
czech republic 1pt vs mexico 6pts (in mexico city)
south africa 1pt vs south korea 3pts (in guadalupe)
This is the 4th time Scotland have played Brazil in a World Cup in my lifetime and I've never seen them get anything apart from some spirited close losses.
Any danger? I'd snap your hand off for a 0-0 sh itter.
But what if both players covered their mouths because they don't want to let people see what they are saying and not because they are being racist (or they are being racist but both of them are to each other)
I think the new rules say its ok to cover your mouth if your talking nice and friendly. It's a red card if your doing it to hide you saying something nasty/confrontational.
No ****** idea how its policed.

pretty simple, if you can't say something to an opponent without covering your mouth then don't say it
ffs
Brutal
