World Cup 2026

Time for a topic on this as the playoffs draw is tomorrow.

England have already qualified, and well done to Scotland, that was an exciting match last night.

Wales and Ireland have qualified for the playoffs via 2nd place in their groups, and Northern Ireland should qualify for them via their Nations League position.

Congrats also to Curacao, the smallest nation to ever qualify for the main competition.

Re: World Cup 2026

Sunday just gone was Hungary vs Republic of Ireland. I had a choice at 2pm Portugal who gave Armenia a thumping or Republic of Ireland with a slim chance of making the next round. I chose Hungary thinking Szoboszlai will give a MOTM performance. The game was incredible. Hungary looked as though they had enough to see them through but they took it for granted later on in the game. Hungary should have finished Republic of Ireland off. What came about was Hungarys own doing. Incredible Republic of Ireland. Good for them for turning up.

Fantastic to have both Scotland and Curacao both qualify.

Consistency would be good. Social media influencers tend to cross the line often.

Uefa frequently removes YouTube videos due to strict copyright enforcement.

Uefa has been approached for comment.

Re: World Cup 2026

Update

Quote:
Uefa has apologised after videos of Scotland fans celebrating the team qualifying for the World Cup were removed from social media.

The Scottish Football Supporters Association (SFSA) received emails from the European football governing body stating it had shared footage showing TV coverage of the Scotland v Denmark game on X without permission.

Posts shared by the SFSA showed fans across the country celebrating Tuesday 's match, where Scotland secured a World Cup spot for the first time since 1998.

Uefa said many videos were "wrongly picked up by content protection agencies" and taken down due to copyright infringement. The SFSA's account was also blocked…

…Following the criticism, Uefa backtracked on the removals and issued an apology.

It said steps were being taken to withdraw the copyright notices so that the videos can be reinstated by the social media platforms.

A spokesperson said: "Uefa has a robust and extensive content protection programme in place to combat the unauthorised distribution of its content.

"In this instance, it appears that the relevant content was wrongly picked up by our content protection agencies.

"We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your understanding.

Would that be AI cocking it up again you reckon?
