Think we need a designated thread for general World Cup 2026 chat. There only seem to be the England and sweepstake ones so far.
Well that opening game got me nodding off nicely. VAR/the laws of the game the talking points as always. Well done FIFA. Not long before the highlights are just a reel of refereeing/VAR decisions.
When does the EFL start ?

He’s turning into Tyrone from Snatch.
Effective though. Hardly played all season but made a difference. Great to chuck on for 15 minutes when you need a goal which I assume is what Toney is there for. |
Couldn't believe Lukaku is only 33. I was sure he was closer to 40! |  |

Pretty amazing that with so many sides, and yet there’s been only one battering. Teams know that if they are well organised, you can give the best sides a tough game. | | | |

Same agent as Sandro, maybe? | | | |

Cannot believe that New Zealand is the lowest ranked team in the tournament or did I hear that wrong?? They look like a reasonable shout for getting out the group stage. Played well against us in the friendly too |  | | |

Fun game both teams gave it a decent crack. Disappointed Jesse Randell only came on very late he can play a bit signed for Dundee and interested to see how he develops.
On another note there’s been some pretty good shot stopping in these games so far. Gotta be a keeper out there somewhere for us. | | | |

A lovely start to the day in Massachusetts, warm, no humidity, the sails of Viking longships on the horizon... | |

I can't wait for our ship, with captain Solbakken, to hit the shore!

They've beached on the Cape, naked, swinging double-headed battle axes.. | |

We think our club has trouble with injuries, England already replacing a player due to an injury before a ball is even kicked!!
Anyone checked on the whereabouts of Bicycle Ben - Not in Dallas is he?? | | | |

Who would have thought taking injury prone players would be costly
One severe gust of wind to weetabix Reece James and we have no right back
Madness |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I wonder, if you combined the entire Senegal squad with the entire France squad, would more qualify for Senegal or France? |  | | |

Senegal a bit like their last (I think) pre-tournament opponents Morocco in terms of almost effortless physicality, great ability to close down, lovely style, but that miss at the end of the 2nd quarter I mean half was almost damaging to their morale.
Also can we get rid of Girou? Jesus H Christ. |  | | |

Apparently after the Afcon Senegal are targeting the W/C Semi Final - Nothing like aiming high | | | |

Like Senegal, they don’t fck about getting forward. |  | | |

That was a dull first half by the standards of games up to now. Both teams look petrified to lose and the battle is taking place almost entirely in midfield.
The surface isn't helping - almost looks like our plastic pitch the way the ball is bouncing around. Perhaps France will bring on Gary Bannister in the second half? |  | | |

Suspect both assume they’ll beat Iran and get at least a draw with Norway so both teams happy with a point today |  | | |
