PBP: 2026 FIFA World Cup Group Stage PBP Thread

Did we ever get that onside graphic for the Swiss penalty? I was at work and wasn’t watching 100%.

 

Googled that there are no Haitians in MLB, since I am watching the Phillies game and wondered.

 

I think Haiti have more offsides calls in the first half than shots on goal...not a good sign.

 

No, FIFA has tweeted it out saying there was a technological malfunction with the broadcast but it didn't impact the VAR .

 

Still don’t see why they can’t release an image, I mean they should have it, right?

 

Scroll towards the end of this story:

(I think their coverage is in front of the paywall for the World Cup.)

 

Sorry I wasn't clear, they released the image in the tweet

 

Well, does Haiti have a goal in them? They do well getting forward, but the closer they get to the Scotland goal, the worse they look.

 

You disappoint me, xtomx...that's Owen MacGoal!

 

Well, that was Haiti's best chance to equalize. Can they do it again? I don't think there will be much stoppage time in this one.

 

Lunging in, studs exposed, contact on the knee?

 

Pitiful finishing by Haiti. CONCACAF takes its first loss of the tournament. UEFA gets its first win in WC26.

I hope I can stay up long enough to catch Australia vs. Turkiye later.

 

Haiti #10 is a premier league player? He had a really bad game

 

9 p.m. here in the Pacific Time Zone - but semi-reasonable for the Turks (7 a.m.) and Australians (3 p.m.).

 

This World Cup is set up well for us in the Pacific Time Zone.

 

I read a bunch on the site but missed this I guess.

ahh, they updated it t 823pm.

also, it still looks like the lines show the Swiss offside in both instances, or at least not drawn on the proper scoring body part.

 

This half sucks and my old ass will pay for it in 6hrs.

 

This is brutal. Australia cannot bunker like this for the rest of the game.

 

BC Place looks so much better with grass Keep it (and the Whitecaps)!

 

Holy moly, does this ever upend expectations. I shouted for him to lay it off to the left instead but what do I know.

2-0 Australia.

 

Australia earned that.

 

US fan Ismitje hoping now for 2-1 instead of 2 or 3-0.

 

This is why your team captain shouldn't go around saying things like this:

“I think we will dominate (Saturday), the game, because we have more qualities and a more talented team.”

Because there's always a chance your team captain will end up looking like a schmuck

 

He was right

They dominated and have the more talented team.

Did he say they would win?
