France struggling a bit so far against Senegal,aren't they?
|
Re: World Cup 2026
They did in the first half, but improved in the second half.

Re: World Cup 2026
England under previous managers give off vibes of being nervous. Today they've been composed and look capable of going up a gear if needed. Croatia isn't a free hit. This is an impressive performance. I can only imagine what the wholly with the brolly would say.
|
Re: World Cup 2026
(Re England).
Overall, it was a good win, the defending (esp in the first half) was questionable. On the other hand, we looked good going forward, and really should have scored more. It does feel like we'll need to outscore any opponents, given how we defended. |

No foreign manager has won the world cup.
On another point, this year would have been their 60 wedding anniversary, they saw the WC final in Guernsey. |
Re: World Cup 2026
Ismael Kone (Canada) suffers horrific injury. The replays show his left lower leg somewhat dangling which indicates a brake.
Assim Omer Madibo (Qatar) initially given a yellow is sent off after var intervention. |
Re: World Cup 2026
Yeah, Qatar havent exactly shone in this one, 2 x red cards, and 6 - 0 down.

Looked pretty similar to the injury Danilo got on the opening day of 24-25 playing for us, although his wasn't a tackle, he just landed funny when he'd jumped for a ball.

Re: World Cup 2026
It was a nasty break. The live camera showed his shock too, as he looked at the angle his lower leg was at.
|
Re: World Cup 2026
He needs surgery on it. Appears to be a tib and fib fracture. Can take up to 12 months to fully heal and return to normal activities.

Re: World Cup 2026
I had a group of Scottish girls in the same carriage as me travelling to clapham junction. Bloody loud mouths singing away about Clarkes army and they can't hear England :LOL: I would have loved to see their reaction to that early goal. They done my heading.
|
Re: World Cup 2026
Well it finished 1 - 0, so looking a little more difficult for Scotland now.

Re: World Cup 2026
Looks like Scotland can probably pack their bags.
Just 3 points, and a goal difference of -3 (atm) - this seems unlikely to get them a 3rd place progression. |
Re: World Cup 2026
Poor defensive play.... Lucky it wasn't more.

Re: World Cup 2026
If they do qualify third in their group, they’d most likely face either Germany, Mexico, or (probably) France.
|
Re: World Cup 2026
Two, possibly three teams can overtake them, which would push them out.
On the other hand, two teams could potentially move below them if they lose by more than one goal. So its still possible for them to scrape through, but I would not like to bet on it. |
Re: World Cup 2026
This world cup is officially the most attended

Re: World Cup 2026
Thats becasue it has way more matches than any previous world cup.
There have already been more group matches (54) than the entire 1994 world cup, inc the final (which had 51). By the time its done, there will have been 104 matches (the 2022 world cup had 64 matches). |

Re: World Cup 2026
With Senegal winning today as well, its looking very much like they will be out.
Strange but true fact today. Both this evenings matches have English Refs; Senegal v Iraq has Anthony Taylor. Norway v France has Michael Oliver. |

Re: World Cup 2026
Iran, all but eliminating Scotland, now look likely to go through and would enjoy a slightly less restrictive trip to Canada to play Switzerland.
Unless of course results in all of the remaining groups go against them. |
Re: World Cup 2026
Croatia(by 3 or more) and Algeria(by 2 or more) would have to both lose badly and Congo not win against Uzbekistan. Not completely impossible, but unlikely.
|
Re: World Cup 2026
Yeah looks an impossible task now for Scotland.
|
Re: World Cup 2026
So far another dull game from England. Hard to get behind the team that just doesn't seem to want to be there.

Get past that and it would likely be Mexico, and if we got past that, Brazil in the Quarter Finals. If we managed to get past all of them, it could likely be Argentina in the Semi Finals. :erm: Strange how that would work out, no European Teams, unless the 3rd place team we meet is. However, even that looks like it wont be the case, the 5 options atm are Ecuador, Uruguay, Senegal, D.R.Congo or Algeria. |
Re: World Cup 2026
Walk in the park then :LOL: Vini Jr. (Brazil) or PSGs anchor in midfield (Portugal)
