FIFA World Cup 2026 Results & Discussion Thread [R]

Fr. Me and my dad were laughing because we were saying earlier how unlikely a header was due to the height difference. Japan said "Hold my beer.".

How can you not like Japan? Their team has passion and punches way above their weight. Consistently gets to quarterfinals. Best team in Asia. Their fans are some of the politest and considerate fans in the world, who clean up after themselves.

 

Wasn't impressed by Dumfries one bit..

 

Meh, the Dutch are NFL player FC right now. They totally lost their identity, granted that identity never meant any actual trophies but they've gone too far in the other direction. Even their "maestro" De Jong is good but not great.

This WC really confirmed my suspicions that the overall world talent pool is bone ass dry right now.

 

Rinus Michels' Dutch team won Euro 1988. Boring Dutch not gonna win anything.

 

This has been a fun game so far. Minda unlucky not to score.

 

Perez next signing should be Diomande. Hes a legit right winger.

Decision making at speed is amazing

 

So Jay-Z showed up at the Ivory Coast game because his company, Roc Nation, represents Diomande. It also reps Vini Jr, Endrick and Martinelli.

 

Classy finish from Diallo.

 

@WhiteRM

brother

how could you leave Colombia out of that poll? How could you

 

CONMEBOL not having a good showing

Paraguay was embarrassed
Brazil managed a draw
Ecuador lost

but have no fear, the best teams are yet to play

 

Best day of football so far

 

Sofascore recorded that Van Dijk didn't lose any aerial duels (3/3). However, for Japan's second goal, didn't Van Dijk completely miss the ball? Wouldn't that count as a lost aerial duel?

This was a statement goal here from Japan, they’re not going out so easily 😛🔥 pic.twitter.com/hRno2H1Bol

Yasin Ayari scores on his fathers home country.

That's why he refused to celebrate.

 

is it just me or are water breaks an excuse to run commercials?

 

Was about to say that the Gyokres Isak partnership is another Vini Mbappe then they combine for a goal. Sweden started the game very serious. Big call to drop Elanga. They could do some serious damage in this group. But they are 1 injry to certain players away from being worse than Malta

 

This referee is enforcing this throw in rule far too strictly. Long throw will never work like this

 

Sami Khedira's brother Rani playing in this game for Tunisia.

 

I dont blame the Tunisian captain for that third goal. Why did the GK give the ball to this guy surrounded by 3 Swedish players?

 

Yeah I noticed. I thought he played for Germany but I guess he never did.

 

Tbh Isak was practically on his knees for the last 10-15 mins. The players fault definitely. Isak was never getting to that if the player didnt run towards him

 

Gudmundsson off injured. Not good.

Isak is unable to walk. He really needs to come off, cant afford an injury to him.
