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

This is one of the biggest Fabricated Content in football, if anybody can explain to me why 'the heat' is something only England players 'cant survive' I'd like to hear it!? Its utter nonsense and a poor excuse if England lose a game.

England is FAR from the coldest place to play football during the season. Madrid isn't exactly 'swealtering' in the Winter months so why can't 'the heat' affect the Spanish team? Let alone for one example ze Germans - Germany is colder than England.

Milan is actually colder in mid-winter than London.

 

No way this game ends 11 v 11

 

You're right it isn't 2002 buddy, they just won AFCON last year! Maybe you should check my comment earlier to you. I didn't put Spain in there, or Portugal but keep shouting your nonsense about freaking Paraguay being better than the champions of AFCON.

 

Oh, so youre rating them on what they did last year then? Last......year??? In a ranking that is for the world cup of this year.......specifically mentioning that the ranking was based on one game and one game only? Youre allowed to have a high opinion of AFCON I guess........I have a higher opinion of South America's hierarchy and quality. Thats what the post was for, opinion and discussion. Its literally hilarious that youre so triggered by it. It was meant to be a discussion, not something that emotionally traumatized you.

How about you expose yourself and post a ranking? Im going to dubiously assume Senegal is in your top 10.........purely on the premise of what they did........last......year.......

 

One......very........verry verrry verrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy Important caveat to that game. I will leave that to the floor as to who can answer that.

Hint: it was a guy from Crystal Palace.

Im here for Paraguay is a doormat narrative though, its a fun one..........Ill be yell lolling if they take down Turkey

 

Is that what happened?

Sometimes a true hater needs to watch to avoid getting caught out.

 

AFCON was only 5 months ago, not THAT far in the past, and they won it against your #2

 

Yeah exactly.......tell me you looked at the scoreline and not the game without telling me you looked at the scoreline and not the game.

 

Current game one......current game one folks. My ranking has absolutely nothing to do with what happened before the tournament. Its completely irrelevant. This ranking starts with the South Africa v Mexico match and every match after.

And honestly, grand scheme of things.......the debate between my #3 ranked team and #6th ranked team.........that means its really not too far off them.

 

.............where was chris richards that game???

 

Yes. More even and controlled IMO. Subjectively, anyway

 

Yeah, against Ghana and for CONCACAF is easy for me here

 

Ghana keeper is on it today.......hes had a lot asked of him

 

Pro-Ghana here. But they look bad. Bad luck that Panama hacks undercut their keeper twice without a card.

The English being unprepared and unable to handle the heat of America is a 250 year tradition.

 

Seems to be working

 

Dont CONCACAF dive and roll Panama..........you CONCACAF dive and roll against superior opponents. You can actually beat these guys......

 

Seriously, this Ghana looks incredibly beatable. What happened to them? Or is Panama just that much better now?

 

and they just came close! Martinez side netting!

 

Absolute rubbish, found it easy in 1812 ;-). Again I'd like somebody to explain why exactly the English team 'struggles' with the heat more than anybody else?

 

I am waiting for a Panama goal..
