2026 WC USA (et al): Worldwide Opponents Watch [all R's]

Oh my 1-1. Group B starts all over again if this holds. Perfect header

 

Hard to believe we got smashed by this Swiss side (albeit with a subpar lineup)

 

Good - Switzerland deserved that.

 

Wow, Qatar! 1-1!! 90+4’

 

Fair result given we’re gonna find out a corrupt VAR official swallowed is whist….err….button.

 

How can we lose to this team?

 

Oh my god hahaha. It turns out pretty dramatically

 

ohhhhh lawdy.........that group is wide open now

 

I was in the middle of typing how this format makes a 1-0 loss a pretty good result for massive underdogs (especially in an opening game), and they don't really need to push for an equalizer.

Figures lol. Honestly think it's a fair result though, dreadful by Switzerland

 

Switzerland FAFO'd. Group B just became fascinating. Bosnia or Qatar will go through with a win in their final group game, regardless of what happens on match day #2.

 

Brazil unquestionably has talent but definitely the least talented Brazil of my lifetime. But they have Ancelloti so maybe that’s the difference maker (and he’s also the coach who’s gotten the most out of Vinicius Jr.).

Brentford's Igor Thiago starts up front for Brazil in their 2026 World Cup opener against Morocco.

With an average age of 29 years and 235 days, it is Brazil's oldest starting XI for a World Cup match since their 2006 quarter-final against France (30y, 31d). pic.twitter.com/eI5ZsFFsUn

Morocco 'bout to eat.

 

FIFA still does not release the video clip which is very fishy…This controversy will follow fifa until the end of the tournament, unless they give fans the footage.

 

I feel thats exactly whats gonna happen

 

Goin against the grain, I'll take Brazil over the sexy new toy.

 

Switzerland drew the weakest team, but…
I wouldn’t be surprised if round two is a pair of draws as well.

 

A good coach can do so much

 

I was thinking Luc Longley, but Kukoc works.

 

87 degrees F…We need more hydration breaks

 

******** Brazil and Leonardo forever.

Come on Morocco, do it for Tab!

 

Neymar is not even on the bench. He’s too old and too injured. That’s why he’s not supposed to be here. What a waste of roster spot!

 

He was never all he was cracked up to be, even when young and healthy.

 

I have to root against Brazil but Morocco's AFCON antics pissed me off so can't be too enthusiastic about them either.

 

Look back over that lineup, find out how many consensus starters were in it, and how many Poch starters were in it. 2 for each and numerous players that aren't even backup options to most.

So it was basically the equivalent of us rolling out a Cupcake team +Tillman, Turner and old man Ream, against much of the starters for the Swiss. That's how and why it happened.

I can't figure out other than that this is in keeping with the Swiss playing up to the talent of elite teams, and choking against weak sides. Bizarre.

 

Forever out on Morocco after that. Simply can't support a team that absolutely determined to actively cheat for a faux title, off the field, on the field, and in the board rooms. So immensely gross, I'm out on them forever more basically.
