World Cup 2026 - Official Thread

Amazing. Shady would have hated that.

Oof, just saw they get Argentina in R32.

Also Scotland's elimination is confirmed. Bye sweaties. See you in another 30 years.

Belgium are being very kind to us so far. Even letting us have the ball now and then.

Bindon is immense in the air. Looks to be about 20% larger than when we signed him. In a good way.
And excellent balance to not score an og.

Leandro Trossard looks like a player from about 20 or so years ago that annoyed me, but I can't remember who. He's got that baby faced bully asshole look. The guy I'm thinking of played for Leeds or Charlton I think, or maybe both.

Also that's a bullshit penalty decision, has to be overturned.

Referee giving Belgium a penalty in a filthy decision.
TV review he reversed it. Would have been disgraceful.

What a weird fucked up rule, they correct the penalty call and then can't give the corner it should have been.

It was such a bad refereeing moment.
And then an embarrassing goal. At this level.

Oh well.

Absolute gulf in class, and no tactical or talent way to cross it.

Alan Smith?

Mathematically not yet. But down to 0.7% chance!

Thomas Brolin?

Still, it's unrealistic to expect them to get as far as giants like Cape Verde.
