** 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
portugal got any other mfing gs they don't want? tia
that game was a bit of a hot mess but canada won it, so good for them
south africa didn't really try which I didn't get it, they weren't playing a top team. Canada was making all sorts of mistakes themselves.
tomorrow:
brazil vs japan (in houston)
germany vs paraguay (in foxborough)
netherlands vs morocco (in guadalupe)
Thankfully I didn't b/cos I fell asleep at half time. Although it looks like I did miss a decent winner. Nice work Canada, it gets hard from here.
tomorrow:
brazil vs japan (in houston)
germany vs paraguay (in foxborough)
netherlands vs morocco (in guadalupe)
Great line up. I'll go with
Brazil 3 - 1 Japan
Germany 2 - 0 Paraguay
Netherlands 1 - 1 Morocco. Morocco advance with a goal in ET.
saw a joke going around that eustáquio is the first portuguese #7 to score in the wc knockout round since maniche in 2006, but maniche apparently wasn't wearing 7 at the time. so, figo? someone else?

I went back and watched the clip of that goal, Maniche was wearing no 18. I think Figo had the no 7 shirt then but didnt score. I have no idea who it could be, they got grouped in 2002.
First ever

Big pull for the kids sticker book this morning
Was lucky enough to grow up with this anime and tonight we'll finally get an answer on who wins the finale.
While fully in agreement that there's a turd or two in the RO32, today might be the best day of the entire tournament. Really excited to [strike]not pay attention at work today[/strike] watch.
tomorrow:
brazil vs japan (in houston)
germany vs paraguay (in foxborough)
netherlands vs morocco (in guadalupe)
Great line-up
As a Dutch man im already feeling the nerves. Which is good because the game starts at 3am here and that will probably keep me awake. Not to mention I drew Netherlands in the sweepstake so its double jeopardy for me :p
I throw my boring predictions in the ring as well:
Brazil 1 - 0 Japan
Germany 2 - 0 Paraguay
Netherlands 1 - 1 Morocco (Netherlands advance in ET)
I agree to that
LFG JPN
a knockout game actually worth watching!
Tilts me that Japan are not wearing their traditional blue kit
They're wearing a replica of the Germany shirt as if it was still WW2
Brazil clearly challenging Japan to beat them direct.
Old school Casemiro tackle, early yellow for him gonna be fun.
This game needs a goal ffs
Whack
Ruh roh brazil
Sano scores
