| The ultimate World Cup thread 22:40 - Jun 11 with 252963 views | Logman | 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 ? [Post edited 11 Jun 22:41]

Best moment of the tournament so far. Incredible stuff - if only that went in. |  |
| Did I ever mention that I was in Minder? |

They had a really bad draw, Holland in the group stage then Brazil, if they had got a different group they could have gone quite far but seemed to lose belief second half Brazil look like Real Madrid under Don Carlo, very beatable but they always find a way to win, very dangerous team |  | |  |

| The ultimate World Cup thread on 22:25 - Jun 29 with 1638 views | R_from_afar | What a half by Paraguay, lovely sucker punch. TalkSport shared a great stat about 30 minutes in: Neuer had made more passes than the entire Paraguay team . |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

Neuer looking as immobile as Shilton in 1990. Probably a safer driver though. |  | |  |
| The ultimate World Cup thread on 23:46 - Jun 29 with 1415 views | MrSheen | Is it unreasonable of me to expect that the coach of Germany’s national team should look more physically impressive than a fat schlub arm-twisted into running the under-8s? |  | |  |
| The ultimate World Cup thread on 23:50 - Jun 29 with 1405 views | R_from_afar | Into ET we go and hello, VAR rules out a German goal. Intriguing... |  |

| The ultimate World Cup thread on 00:10 - Jun 30 with 1342 views | MrSheen | This is dire. Can they both be eliminated? Paraguay’s keeper and the referee the only bright spots. |  | |  |
| The ultimate World Cup thread on 00:15 - Jun 30 with 1318 views | Toast_R | You can measure how far Germany have fallen by their success of a penalty shoot out. Never lost one have they? |  | |  |

I’ve actually quite enjoyed it. Rangers aggro, Rangers aggro, hello, hello. |  | |  |

I take absolutely no pleasure in that. Oh go on then. |  | |  |
