Football : World Cup 2026

[thenry]

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 I would have loved to see their reaction to that early goal. They done my heading.

Well it finished 1 - 0, so looking a little more difficult for Scotland now.

England - predict a loss to Croatia, a draw against Ghana , and then beat Panama to scrape into the next round, but again won 't progress much further ( unless they meet Scotland of course )

Nostradamus would be proud Mr K.

It does feel like we'll need to outscore any opponents, given how we defended.

A good analysis.

I see the England team clicked tonight

Yeah, not a great performance, almost like a different team from the other day.

Yeah a difficult game but a good point which is a possitive.

I agree, I found the match quite frustrating to watch. One of the worse matches I've seen in this world cup.

As it stands England could end up playing Cape Verde which I'm gutted about.

According to Fox it's the best world cup ever thus far

Only if you take their income from their “hydration break” adverts into account.

He (Trump) was never going to miss an opportunity to stick his big nose in,was he?

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.
