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 ?

Just crossed my mind. If England win this competition, it will be during America's 250th birthday since persuading Britain to leave. |
Will you be celebrating with a tea party, Boston? | | | |

We’re our own worst enemy at times. Croatia are good but we should be not conceding like that. |
Apologies fat finger syndrome | | | |

USA is just another, former colony. |  |

3–0 Canada at HT. Qatar down to ten men. Frankly if our guys showed a bit more organisation and control it could be twice that. |
The ex-footballer on punditry duty on TalkSport for that game was Steven Caulker, once of this parish and now assistant manager at Konyaspor.
Fascinatingly (or not  ) he finished his playing days in Iceland. The country, not the retailer, I hasten to add  . |  |

Indeed, with my Luton mate, he's a bit mad. | |

Jesse Marche for me could be a section on the Random irritations thread. |
Basically the same carry on at Leeds but he was correct in standing up for his players during the beawl.
He did mention in jis presser that they all heard the leg snap from the bench so there was obviously a shocking injury not sure what Iraq were complaining /fighting about.
They dodged another red towards the end for a reckless tackle the ref probably figured he did not want them playing with 8
Best wishes to Kone its one image I wont forget when he looks at his leg and realizes its broken his eyes very haunting image |  | | |

Ok Brian.
So an obvious question in response, who are the QPR of internatiomal football. Fcuking frustrating. [Post edited 19 Jun 21:41]

Netherlands.
Fail to win anything during the very short periods when they are genuinely good and either mediocre or underperforming the rest of the time. |  |

Must say, I've been delighted with the American's first half, their awareness and movement is as good as I've ever seen them. Australian's are losing the head, seemed to be pissed with the USA from the start, the friendly last year mustn't have been a well mannered affair. | |

🤣 exactly what I was thinking. If the US win he better stand in the centre circle and shout 'Are you not entertained?'. | |

Must be the weakest Australian squad in a long time. Hard for them to get a grip on the game.
They gave a good account of themselves with the national anthem anyway. |  | | |

I'm sure Mr Nourry will be low balling his offers. | |

Indeed. These Aussies look piss weak, it’s puzzling why we think it’s the market to be in. |  | | |

Poch has been living the lifestyle on Hollywood boulevard !!!
Either that or he has his mafiosi henchmen holding fire, but not for long. I remember the days when he was just a decent manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
Everything changes.... |  |

I think the Aussie coach has to take a lot of the blame. Way to negative 1st half. | |

Great first half from the USA, then they went all Spursy. | |

When they did try something 1 on 1 they didn't seem to have any joy though. But you might be right - to not start your best forward is brainless. | | | |
