World Cup 2026 - Official Thread

That Belgium kit is atrocious

Glasner can have a word with Sarr.

Absolutely no chance. He should be going to PSG, Madrid, Bayern etc.

Weston McKennie sounds like a management consultancy

I was in London for the match. Thought I would end up watching on my own but bumped into people I know from Manchester at Euston so straight to the pub. Got pissed, off to check in, very nice Vietnamese meal, bit stoned, nice kip. A good day.

Why the fuck did Mendes not shoot there instead of looking for Ronaldo?! Likewise Leao not going at the defence at the end of the 1st half

Incredible match. Jim would probably have hated it.

Archie Gemmill, if he indeed was our most recent World Cup goalscorer, is definitely no longer our most recent World Cup goalscorer.

Although Dan probably won't be at Forest when the next season starts

And if his world cup showing puts him more in the shop window, all the better.

Some idiot posted on the wrong thread

Notice Cristiano Ronaldo channeling his inner Simon Cox with his disallowed goal. The better player stays onside there. Think on...

The WC is much more enjoyable now that we've got to the knockout stages and there is finally some peril to the games. I maintain the group stages were shit though. 72 (!) games of football were played just to get down from 48 to 32 teams.

It's been a funny WC for him. He could very easily have 5-6 goals but his finishing/confidence is shot. He's been in the right positions. I personally hope he's still at Forest. I think he'll come good (though admit I'm not sure how he fits into a Glasner team).

I’ll raise you van hooijdonk in 98.

Don't think he's a wingback (although didn't Pereira play him there in Porto?), so he's one of many competing to play behind the striker. Unless he can be the striker but expect we'll be spending up in that position.

He does feature in a lot of social media generated by the club, which sort of makes me think he's staying.

You think the person running the Instagram account has been briefed on the clubs transfer strategy? I doubt it.

Or Freuler in 2022.
