World Cup 2026

[Duque de Bragança]

Dammit, I was expecting some overtime at least.

[Sheilbh]

England is not playing poorly. The DR Congo team is a good one. High levels of skill, lots of pace and physicality, and
they are playing quite wisely, I think.

They are a good team but I've got a Newcastle friend who is absolutely furious at how good Wissa's been this tournament

Very good from Kane.

[Sheilbh]

Kane is such a natural goalscorer. That goal was very well taken.

Yeah. As I say 60 goals for Bayern this season - now on 13 World Cup goals.

And Rice is just a very good footballer.

[Josquius]

England have been extremely painful. Really struggled against a team of largely championship and lower level players.

Being knocked out by Mexico in Mexico.... The Mexican police are stocking up on tear gas already.

Now we hope that the brave Ivorians crush those self-good and hopefully over confident lesser vikings.

Afraid of a Norway-Spain game or what? 

One of very few times I'll root for Spain.

Stop the presses!

I thought the the Norwegians were the really bad ass vikings?

And to echo the others it was a beautiful goal.

The Danes plundered western Europe, the Swedes had the main shrine and sailed to  Constantinople. The Icelanders wrote sagas.

It's just that Sweden and Denmark have more interesting periods, the Norwegians don't so they focus on the viking stuff.

[Threviel]

Also, go England!

[Duque de Bragança]

Also, go England!

About time.

[Sheilbh]

At the risk of jinxing it - very much looking forward to Belgium-Senegal. Feel like it's got the potential to be very enjoyable.

[HVC]

Why does Belgium have a cherry blossom themed jersey?

[mongers]

France made the Swedish team look like larch trees in a Scandinavian forest.

France will win the world cup.

[Sheilbh]

Apparently a tribute to Magritte

[Sheilbh]

WTF!

Edit: Really want Senegal to get back in control (would love a Senegal-Morocco grudge match semi-final ).. But I love Lukaku and happy for him having an impressive tournament.

[Zoupa]

Do you guys think that penalty for Belgium was warranted? I'm kinda torn.
