2026 FIFA World Cup - General Chat

Quite a few posting how disinterested they are (bore off to another thread then ffs). I'm looking forward to it. Cost me $44 today so I can watch all the games. Timing of the kick offs is good for us which helps. Hope to watch a few games with my Everton supporting kiwi mate who's taken 6 weeks leave from work to binge watch the WC.

Will you be cheering on the all whites pal?

Going to put my World Cup Wall Chart up later, I can't wait for it all to start.

100% mate. Lowest ranked team I believe. There's many in the squad who've played for my local club, played on a public park just up the road. So to see those lads play in the World Cup finals is really quite remarkable.

Colombia for Sassy? James was still world class when he was with us, right?

This is what it’s all about mate.

Surely you guys aren’t ranked below Haiti?

Similar but Haiti ahead. Haiti won't be an easy three points for Morocco or Scotland, they've recruited well and had a pesky team before they did.

Tickets revoked for Iranian fans now. Despite some actually having been sold and travel plans made.
FIFA completely in control here. A World Cup for the ages.

Having a sweepstake at work with 48 teams is a bloody nightmare. Only 31 want to participate.

What teams can we get really behind that the thick insecure England fans on here really won’t like? Apart from “whoever England are playing”.

I'm going for anyone that publicly calls out this farce, and basically tells Trump/Infantino to do one.

Good idea.
I’m going to get in the spirit by waxing my chest and sending pics of my hole to random members.
