Pre-match: 2026 FIFA World Cup Draw - December 5, 2025 - 12 PM EDT

The rampant profanity

 

that video put Diego Luna on the same level as Messi, Ronaldo, and Yamal

 

12 minutes for normal regular season games, but usually longer for national TV games and especially playoffs. The Super Bowl isn't a football game, it's a TV show.

 

Shaq, a natural stage performer, can sense that they've lost the crowd and is trying to speed this all up

 

Ah -- the draw v. the technical draw.

 

None of them has been in my kitchen.

 

We need oil to power these balls? Lol

 

Belgium to G. That's our R32 opponent if we and they both finish 2nd

 

he's also hot mic asking Tom when he is supposed to draw.

 

Man I hate how Brit’s pronounce the letter h

 

lmaooo i missed that. Incredible production value today

 

If the #USMNT wins Group D and Belgium wins Group G, they would be on a collision course in the Round of 16 (if they win their respective Round of 32 knockout games).

Of the seeded teams I think the best round of 16 matchup we could ask for (not counting Canada or Mexico).

 

How on earth is Shaq going to deal those balls with his giant hands?

 

I had the same thought. Hosts aside, Belgium might be the weakest seeded side.

Still not close to easy (ask the 2014 team )

 

I think Rio as legit pissed off at that question…it’s hilarious

 

Rio wanted to get on with it. Don’t blame him.

 

I'd like to avoid Belgium if at all possible.

 

he should just crush them instead of twisting them open

 

Agree. And G is the only other group really worth keeping an eye on for our purposes, if we finish 1st or 3rd there are too many possible permutations to worry about.

 

The same way he jacks it…carefully

 

Odds of Shaq doing something unexpected?

 

The reality is by the round of 16 you aren’t going to be able to avoid the good teams generally.

 

Maybe he'll hold Kevin Hart who then opens each of them?

 

We can do that by winning our group, but out of the pot 1 teams they don't scare me too much. Prime De Bruyne and Hazard aren't walking through that door.
