Portugal Colombia Uzbekistan Congo/Jamaica/New Caledonia Portugal was one draw away from playing 2 games in Toronto instead they will be playing in Houston and Miami. Win the group and R32 and then play the runner up of Canada Swiss Qatar or maybe... Italy. Discuss.
If we win our group, we will play the best 3rd place team from groups DEIJL.. If we win the round of 32, we will likely face Italy/Wales or Switzerland in the round of 16. My opinion. Also Argentina will likely be facing Uruguay or Spain in round of 32.. That is rough.
What is interesting is Portugal has never played Colombia, same with Uzbekistan and potentially DR Congo, Jamaica. These are all fresh new opponents. I love this group.
If Spain finishes second and Arg wins the group they would meet in r32 both are topping so its not happening
Fifa moving teams so that the big markets get the marquee teams and smaller markets host games that will be half empty at best
I think the two biggest concerns when it comes to playing in North America are heat and travel, so I'd say the venue allocations worked out fairly well. Two games in Houston and one in Miami. Houston's is a cooled indoor stadium, and while Miami is very humid, it will at least be an evening game. The latter is going to be like a home fixture for Colombia though.
We are having our base camp in...Cancun? https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-sports/2026/01/14/Z2KABSAF5VEN3JUBEJZHSNVL4A/ We have no intention of winning the world cup
I like that base camp in one of the host countries is what made you realize this, not the fact that we're fielding a bunch of saudi players for no other reason than money
having to fly for hours and clear customs every game makes sense and certainly better than setting up in Houston where they have 2 games....but the real problem is the country some of our players play regardless of what they do for the national team? Lol yeah I Cancelo sure did suck when he won us a game as an Al Hilal player. Thankfully he got better as a Barca transfer lmao. And CR7 finally having us beat Germany and Spain...total scrub because (now that Spain didn't win) its a friendly...lol Again just a genius reply. Must be the sharpest guy at the gas station
Dude.. If Ronaldo didn't play in either of those games, we probably would have lost.. He scored the deciding goals in both games. The Germany game we won in regular time. The Spain game his equalizing goal directly kept us alive to take the game to PKs.. Why do you have such a Ronaldo hate boner? Are you sure you are Portuguese? Did he steal your woman or something in a past life?
If Nuno Mendes didn't play, we definitely would have lost. Why don't you talk more about the actual best players on the team like him and Vitinha instead of living in the past? I don't hate Ronaldo (although he is a rapist and it's very justified if you do hate him). I see him for what he is - a formerly great player who can't handle that he has declined and hasn't been good enough to play for a big team or in a big league for a long time now. His fans also can't seem to handle that. He's done a lot for the national team, but its time to pass the torch. You numpties just spin on his dick to such a disgusting degree that it's almost parody. Case in point, you're actually trying to argue that Ronaldo single handedly beat Germany and Spain when he wasn't even the best player on the pitch. Do you also think he single handedly won the euro? You need to see a therapist about your identity. You're clearly so insecure about being american. All this weird incel talk about being so proud of portugal and having shitty tattoos to show off your pride and somehow loving and having a parasocial relationship with a stranger that you've never met is also a prerequisite to being portuguese. If the portuguese people had that dawg and pride in them like you we would always win the world cup!! If you ever actually lived in portugal you would know how cringe all this is. It's like the pasty white dudes in Boston whose whole personality revolves around being irish visiting ireland for the first time and realizing that no actual irish person has a shitty tattoo of a four leaf clover and a leprechaun and everyone knows they're american right away. He didn't steal my woman, but I bet you would love to watch him fvck yours.
lol same tactics as your boy braindead. - say stupid things and ask stupid questions - receive answers to stupid questions - don't have a response to the answers, or the answer makes you uncomfortable, so deflect or completely ignore them and insult instead you dummies really deserve your president
Lmao "he is a rapist" MSN espnfc regurgitating parrot. Yeah buddy a chick he met at a night club at the height of his good looks and hype went willingly back to his hotel at 3am to play scrabble lmao! And what happened to the charges? Womp womp not guilty but here you are right on brand. Go get your booster to save granny. This may be the biggest L yet. Take a bow
lol at the height of his good looks... I genuinely can't fathom being a fan of another man that you've never met and doesn't know you exist as a grown man, have some self respect. The guy admitted it. Pretty easy to find the leaks from der spiegel. Innocent people also don't usually pay people off. "went willingly back to his hotel at 3am to play scrabble lmao!" this is genuine rapist logic btw. I hope you know that. Anti vaxer too. Goddam, you might actually be the dumbest person alive.
Ronaldo is old and shit now, no debate. But "innocent ppl usually dont pay people off" are you 12yr? Everyone with money that is involved in a he said she said case ALWAYS pays it off.... its always cheaper than going through an entire court process, and its exactly why alot of these women cry rape when dealing with celebrities, they know this.... everyone does. I've met a lot of people who regretted getting the COVID vaccine; I haven't met a single person who regretted not getting it.
Again, he admitted it. What else is there to discuss? I don’t care one way or another about the Covid vaccine. Retarded people extending that anti vaccine logic to other vaccines is a very real problem though.
