World Cup 2026

Egypt one up on Belgium at the half.

[Duque de Bragança]

1-1 at the end, thanks to an own goal.

While Cape Verde are popular saw this posted. Awesome headline and a very funky song. The lost Sci fi b movie soundtrack the article mentions sounds right.

Nobody likes the water breaks except advertisers and FIFA.

Yes. I watched a documentary on the NASL the other day. Apparently key to it's troubles was football being So continuous unlike US sports so it was hard for advertising. They would just go to adverts in the middle of a game and sometimes miss goals.
Are these water breaks new or part of MLS? Surprised this innovation wasn't tried earlier in the US and it has happened with so little fan faire now.

Cape Verde and Curucao goals were great - I'm now behind the big World Cup.

Also always pleased to see Lukaku score.

[Duque de Bragança]

You'll have to wait then.
He caused the Egyptian o.g, however.

Six of one half dozen of the other

Just another example of a black man stealing Egyptian accomplishments

The Ivory Coast has a solid team of pros from various European leagues. That Ibrahim Sangaré isn't a starter convinces me that it is a good side, as he was an unsung hero of Nottingham Forest's EPL revival in the latter stage of the season.

How many goals Cape Verde will concede against Spain remains to be seen, but I see a three goal minimum.

Think I might see both Spain and Belgium today.

Awesome skill. 

[Josephus]

And another unexpected tie


That was like a siege

They don't have those in the MLS. Their tv partner, Apple TV, does not have ads.

Yeah.

I watched the end of the game - just caught the Uruguay goal.

I'd just stepped out form work to pick something up and there was a big screen in a plaza where people were watching the game. Nice little crowd.

I was all intent on crankily boycotting the World Cup, but the vibe is just too good

Every single time they pull me back in

Looks like today is the underdogs day.

Or the day of ties.

Must be Allah's will:
NZ 2 Iran 2

I am loved by bookmakers all over. 

Group I's first matches are today, and I will continue my trend of predicting poorly.

France 1 Senegal 1
Iraq 1 Norway 1
