** 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
As do we all
I really really dont want to see it happen, mainly because Modric is my favorite footballer of the last 15 years, but I have this feeling Croatia will botch it vs Ghana tonight and not make the best #3's
Ghana is already on 4 points though so hope im wrong
I believe this is necessary for South Korea to make it through, along with another result, after they were supposedly 95% to make it when their game ended. People were even speculating that they lost on purpose for a more favorable draw (very unlikely even if it was 100% imo).

Any 2 of the 3 for Korea to quali:
Ghana to beat Croatia
DR congo - Uzbekistan to draw OR Uzbekistan to win by 5 goals or less
Austria to win OR Algeria to win by 2+.
Lol @ the draw in Algeria v Austria trading at near evens on the exchanges.
England look so bad
There's a lot to play for in these games as well. Runner up in Englands group plays the runner up of the Portugal/Colombia group. Want to avoid that imo. Has a worse draw after that as well I think.
Croatia group winners as it stands.
England might want to try scoring...
And there it is
Belligoal
The English army has just won the war
Could very well be ronaldo vs modric next round
Kane doing what Kane does
Btw just a factoid. The guy who just scored for Ghana, Luckassen, is a full brother of Brian Brobbey.
Also, Croatia is playing with fire now.
How the turn tables
Modric assist for safety.. my goat
3 points and -1 GD might've not been enough for us anyway will make me feel better if so
South Korea must be shitting bricks right now
They'd be very lucky to get in at this point, they need both DRcongo not winning and the austria/algeria game that both teams advance with a draw, win makes no difference (actually worse for algeria), loss you're out game at the end of the tournament does NOT end in a draw.
Iran needs one of those two.
Crazy if Iran don't get in, 3pts and 0 GD must've been like 90%
this dr congo game is showing for me just before halftime
expected goals .15 to .02 and they're down 0-1 with a goal called off or it'd be 1-1. good lord this is a bad game
Colombia-Portugal game is prettay prettay good even though it's 0-0
Yeah Colombia-Portugal decent.
Steve Clarke gone for Scotland also decent. Sick of qualifying for major tournaments but then being pish when we get there.
guess i'm down for dr congo bottling this if it means iran go thru
and algeria over korea 4 teh lulz
