World Cup 2026

Seems the Austrians in San Francisco went to a restaurant run by an expat:

Even though Mbappé was off in the first half and Deschamps probably filed a missing person's report for him, France must be favourites for winning this tournament.
France-Senegal, great match with lots of chances and excellent attacking play.

[Duque de Bragança]

Not just Mbappé, the entire team sucked.
Not that Sénégal was much better in the first half, too.

[Duque de Bragança]

First real chance for Norway and goal by Haaland, of course.
Iraq is playing well though, so it's not over yet, obviously.

[Duque de Bragança]

Great fluke by the Iraqi team, and the Iraqis had a deserved equaliser goal just before.
Haaland once again, very opportunistic but deadly.

[HVC]

Iraq has a decent counterattack.

Yeah, it's still early on but that doesn't look like the team everyone thinks is gonna win the cup.

Really enjoying the Norway - Iraq match.

The Norwegians are giants next to the Iraqis, and the favourites. Admirable pluck by the Iraqis, though as a Dane I'm obviously supporting our Norwegian brethren.

I just can't support a team with Haaland on it

Always feels he looks like the bully in a John Hughes' film, called something like "Biff".

I went to elementary school with a kid that had the same stim as the Norwegian fans.

For sure. Not a fan of Haaland, but Nordic solidarity is more significant. I mean, I'll even support the Swedes.

Nice goal.


@jacob does that solidarity work both ways? That is would a Norwegian cheer for a Dane, or do they still hold a grudge?

It varies, but I think in general Norwegians and Danes are mutually fond of each other. There's a bit of grousing about "being a Danish colony", but I don't think it sticks too deep.

You'll have to ask the Norwegians, though.

Got up, saw posted on reddit that Austria played. OK, let's see the final score ... wait, they just kicked off???
