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 ?

The response from the Belgian FA on X was priceless.
"Overturn this"!!!! |  |

Ironic that Balogun was only eligible to play for the US due to his mum being refused boarding the plane when returning from holiday due to be heavily pregnant and gave birth to Balogun in New York. The exact sort of person Trump has been trying to refuse US citizenship.
I feel for the US team as they never asked for Trump doing what he did.
Belgium thoroughly deserved winners though, so fck em. | |

You can bet your bottom dollar that Trump will be going around telling anyone & everyone that the 4-1 defeat will have made him look stupid after he got the red card suspension deffered (not recined, it's still a red) without a single ounce of self awarness that he's made himself (as he always does) look stupid.
Plenty of Americans on social media saying they don't see a problem with political interference "Anything that can be done to help the team is a good thing". Is there any other country with such a huge lack of thinking that cheating is not good, that anything goes, that anything is acceptable as long as it benefits them to the (not giving a schit) detriment to anyone else but then cry like babies when the same happens to them?

Randomly woke up. Put USA Belgium on to see Lukaku get the 4th for Belgium.
Thank f**k for that.
Get out Donald. Second rate team and second rate nation.
Whats the narrative on this one. Probably Pochettino's fault. If Donald J Trump had been in charge, would have been a different story.
Tbf, I do feel for Balogun, a pawn in a stupid fat man's ridiculous game.
So pleased U - S - A got humiliated. Only proper football nations left now. [Post edited 7 Jul 4:01]

He needs to check out a few videos of the rest of the world enjoying the US even after their Countries have been sent packing.
His hatred is for Donald J Trump and like most of LFW agree that may be justified but that team earned their place in this qnockout phase just did not have the talent to go any further .I know there is at least 6 LFW regular posters living here permantly going off their posts so hopefully they can vouch for my opinion that most US people are just regular trying to give their kids better lives that they had and have that live and let live attitude .
Of course that might depend on whether you live in a gated community or not but I certainly do not |  | | |

I'm with Numpty on this. Half my family hail from the USA and I have nothing but good memories of youthful holidays there - the culture and the people and the music. But it HAS changed. DJT is a malevolent and vengeful man who has wilfully changed public administration, government, the judiciary and the media to impose his own monochrome uniformity, which it is dangerous to question.
Dylan foresaw this polarisation In "Desolation Row" when he wrote:
Praise be to Nero’s Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody’s shouting
“Which Side Are You On?”.
We all know decent, fair-minded Americans, but they are now in the minority. The majority elected Trump. Twice. |  | | |

Messi misses a penalty, I couldn't take a penalty I wouldn't have the bloody bottle. |  |

Can’t help but like Messi, his persona is polar opposite to Ronaldo. Very rarely see him having a go at officials. |  |

I really despise VAR, just giving the officials an excuse to rig the result.
Bored now, turning it off. | | | |
