General FIFA World Cup 2026 Discussion

Another red card to South Africa after a dumb smack to the head

 

The Mexican tough guy milked it for all he was worth. I hope the hospital are looking after him well and giving him a head scan right now.....

Mexican fans will think this is their World Cup now.....

 

Red for Montes.....

Otamendi take note.....

 

Kind of harsh, but it's Mexico so...

 

Oh lord what was that free kick lmao

 

Dreadful game. Low on ability and endeavour.

I'll never understand coaches like Broos. You may as well try to attack when you go behind rather than waiting until the last few minutes. No team likes being attacked. Handed that on a plate to Mexico.

South Korea and Czechia should offer much tougher opposition.

 

Sort of stuff in kids games...... Just get it in you never know but the technical ability of these SA players compared to 2010 is much lower.

 

that was one of the worst openings ever, mexicans will look at the 3 red cards and say this was a good game

 

I think Scaloni read this and decided to drop Giay.

You're welcome.

 

FIFA (supposedly) has rules for broadcasters during World Cup hydration breaks.

Fox broke them during the very first game, and even missed match action showing commercials...https://t.co/HuB2nOuQBD

I'm never watching English language coverage. Fox has been a joke this whole time.

 

Batistuta is on Telemundo for the pregame tonight

 

Good goal by the South Koreans.

1-1

 

Better game than the opener for sure. Nice patience on that finish. Korea should've had one or two more though. Shame they gave up one on a long throw.

 

The Czech Rep scored(Im not calling them Czechia, that sounds stupid... ditto for Turkey) score but was offside.

Korean go down a couple of minutes later and score.

2-1

 

Don't they often have an Argentino providing the color commentary?

 

And Andres Cantor on play by play for most of the best games. Telemundo are owned by NBC Universal so I count them as a Yankee network now, just in Spanish lol. They're better than Univision, imo, which I think is still Mexican owned and tends to be way more biased towards the Mexican team.

 

Fox was abysmal in the WC2022 coverage as well. Their highlight videos on YouTube were all capped at 5 minutes long. They are horrendous and barely show anything that happened in the matches.

 

Early chance for Bosnia. Bosnia with the early momentum.

 

Goal Bosnia from the corner flick on. Jova Lukic top scorer in the Romanian league this season with a simple task.

 

Well we got the first host under serious pressure to do something now. This looked like a great chance for Canada's first point in a World Cup if not a win, but now it's a gut check for them.

 

I don't know..... Mijatovic and Suker indeed Belanov and Boniek may disagree.....

Now Jan Koller remember him ? He'd agree.
