** 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
the best kraut is a sour one
Freidel is the guy that started faking an English accent just b/c he played there awhile, right? Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
The tension is palpable
The most unfair thing to happen to Germany since the Treaty of Versailles.
Were playing full of ****
Van hecke has taken some serious hits to the face
It is exactly as predicted, Frenkie is all alone, pitch is used extremely inefficiently as our CBs constantly do jack **** 3v0 and yet Morocco still finds space on the counter, all the while effortlessly double teaming the Dutch attackers. Koeman masterclass.
Luckily play has been sloppy from both sides, and the ball is very round today
No many countries have their own commentators.
The Fox commentators have some decent ones and some just shocking ones.
Not sure who it is or if it is even Fox but the American commentator who shouts "FIRES" whenever anyone shoots can absolutely do one.
Yes, huge variance with Fox announcers. The ones doing this game are pretty decent, but the earlier games today had some really dreadful ones.
most intense game of the knockouts so far
ref still refuses to give out yellow cards for some reason, announcer was about to say blood would be needed for one then the ohter announcer was like no, not even that.
I don't get these players sometimes though, you have nothing between you and the goalie and instead of shooting it, try some tough pass that fails. Or wait until 2 people arrive, happens a little too frequently it's like why. One of the tough decisions in the sport though when to pass/shoot especially when one goal is so massive in the game moreso than other sports.
What a time and what an opponent to suddenly switch to a formation were **** at
Koeman out

Yeah, but Canada often gets the American feed, which I would've thought would be the case for soccer.
No subs at ht
I cant see this ending well tbh
This is hardly the hottest take, and I know it isn't like they have lit it up so far but ****ing hell Hakimi and Brahim Diaz are levels above aren't they
Hakimi is ****ing everywhere
Generational player
The fact Gakpo and Brobbey are still on the pitch. Sack Koeman right now.
I don't blame them for not getting the ball at all or 1v3
Netherlands coach is like "this is all going great"
everyone else is like WTF gotta change something
We are playing like were Capo Verde vs Spain
how the heck does the team even have 4 jerseys for a guy, unreal we're on jersey #4 and the team just goes oh we have like 100 we're good
Hold the fort.... here is Wout Weghorst
Congrats Morocco you deserve it, your coach has beaten ours
