General FIFA World Cup 2026 Discussion

Penalty lottery. Which means our awful midfielder Edo Kayembe will be at this World Cup with Selvik for Norway and Irankunda for Australia.......

 

Ultimately yeah but these guys were in the same group. South Africa finished first and got the automatic qualification. Nigeria were 2nd. How though? What a choke by Nigeria the whole way..

 

Think the ref has forgotten about the advertising break also known as a hydration break.

 

Benin I think held Nigeria while SA beat them.

 

This is a joke. Hydration break my backside. Remember when the US wanted four quarters for association football......

This is merely an excuse for more adverts.....Yawn. Time to mute the screen.

 

Wait, the South African player that had the turnover right in front of his own goal is named Sithole. . . ?

 

For what it's worth, Telemundo did not air any ads during that break.

 

If SA score with this formation I'll eat my hat. You may as well go down fighting that hiding until the 85th minute trying to get an equalizer. So deep. So stretched back to front. Mind you their players also lack the ability to pass to each other.

 

Imagine that. Imagine a forward turns him inside out. Sithole sat on his ass by so and so.

 

Voller in the VIP area. Hope he has nice memories of 86.

 

If they can get out of this half only 1-0 that'll be good

 

The post denies the Colombian a second.

 

I think the coach Broos has serious mental issues..

 

Should have been a corner. Where is the VAR ?

 

Pretty boring match. Only to be expected between two footballing minnows.

 

By the sounds of it.... glad I am missing out. I guess it tells you that less is more...

 

Red card for SA and penalty for Mexico. Sithole again.

Edit a FK just outside the box.

 

how is this the opening game of the world cup?!?! It's some really bad quality soccer being played here.

 

Well I don't think the first Canada or USA game will be much better. Perhaps we should go back to the defending champs getting the opener.

 

2-0. I was almost asleep.

 

Red card for a slap..... Referee trying to milk it and forgetting his words.....
