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 ?

I normally agree but green and red are two very common colours to get mixed up for the colourblind. If I play golf with a red tee it vanishes every time.
Senegal killing the Belgians to death anyway |
Green and red for the colour blind look the same.
I will watch out for those boys and girls at the traffic lights then !! |  |

Too drunk to decide, should that have been a penalty? |
Should have been a FK to Senegal..Tiedemann cut around the front of him taking the man and the ball. | | | |

Never a penalty in a thousand years |
Agreed and the fact it took 5 mins of replays to decide only confirms it. | | | |

The refereeing after being so good is falling apart. First the Belgium pen and now this red card for the USAs leading scorer. Totally accidental incident, sent off after a VAR review. Will miss the next game if they progress. | | | |

S'funny, US has looked better with a man down. | |

how did belgium get that penalty? if it takes 7 mins to review, it is NOT CLEAR AND OBVIOUS error
and based on that do we appeal kane's yellow card? he was fouled, it should have been a pen and no card???
thought ref last night was man marking our midfield, he was always in the way as we got to DR Congo box!! | | | |

I normally watch one match per day. Today it's Portugal v Croatia. Both teams feature a phenomenal, generational, (hate that term!) player who is surely playing in his last World Cup. For one of them it this game will be their swan song.
I haven't watched any of Portugal's matches, so can't comment on CR's tournament so far. But, as usual, Modrich keeps Croatia ticking along like a Rolex. I love the guy. If I were a kid again he'd be my favourite player. So I'm hoping the guys in the red tablecloths can pull off another win for him. | | | |

BBC must be as pushed for commentators as England are for full-backs as Danny Murphy's mainly talking about his feral cat and calling Austria "Australia" |  | | |

Blimey if that Spain goal is ruled then the game's gone! Much as I don't like the Spaniards rolling around at a sneeze that is hard to take for them. They are looking quite ominous as well, although I think France may destroy everyone. Apart from us of course. We've got Harry Kane. |  |

Spain just had a goal from a corner disallowed for a 'foul' on the keeper. It would appear that the refs do not want goalkeepers to be challenged for the ball then a corner us taken.
If thats going to be the norm maybe the rules should be changed so that players are not allowed in the 6 yard box until the corner kick has been taken. | | | |

Three times I've walked In and I've clicked on this game and three times the camera has been focused on people In the crowd.
Gonna go back and sit In the garden and look at the sunflowers. |  |

Tragic that this game is in the prime slot for us. Always get a few boring European teams who are just too good to even be interestingly crap in the way Scotland are. Poland/Austria/Czechs/Sweden/Denmark. Perhaps Austria will try a shot or something second half. | | | |

2-0 Spain |
I still think England can win this.
Especially if America bomb Mexico, and France and Spain declare war on each other. | |

Pretty comfortable for Spain now that Yamal seems to be getting into the groove. They did cough up a few scorable chances though. | | | |

Bloomin' Hummer! What are Portugal wearing? The alternate kits in this WC are the worst ever. | | | |

Why are they in their second or third or whatever kits, the home kits don't effing clash? | |

Anyway, entertaining match, Pork and Cheesers playing very high, so far having a slight edge on the Scrotes. | |

So that's three teams who are out because of debatable VAR calls - Germany, Senegal and Croatia. The worst thing to happen to football ever. | | | |

Helluva second half, really feel sorry for Croatia who did everything but win. | |

That was proper cruel on the Croats
This VAR bollox just gets worse and worse.
The “clear and obvious error” usage has no totally gone out of the window and as for this snickometer bullshit WTF is that?!?
Every year the game drifts further away and sadly the perennial tournament is becoming a farce |  |

Was that snicko that they were using for that? Its at least a definitive yes/no unlike the ridiculous toenail offsides, but I wish they'd just throw the whole thing in the trash. |  | | |
