2026 FIFA World Cup - General Chat

I'll be interested to see how the African and Asian/Middle East teams do. Already some are getting harassed even before the tournament starts, which is typical of the Yanks., who now run football, FIFA, the Premier League and subsequently have ruined it. An indication of Yank dominated FIFA is that the Saudi's were given the next one. It's a pity a talent like Kudos is missing as he would have lit up the tournament. Very much hope Senegal to really well but they should expect the unexpected for the Yank authorities the further they progress in the tournament. The Japanese should do well as they've got a very hard working skillful team and are good to watch, as may the South Koreans. In fact, it will be refreshing to see the non European teams more particularly the lesser known teams like Uzbekistan, Curacao, Cape Verde in the hope that they've not been induced with the diving cheating mentality most common in international, national football. Turkey could well be a dark horse to go very far.
 
Iran, surely!

All a plot from President Man Baby to demoralise their country further. The squad are going to be so laggy having to fly in and out of Inglewood for their first two games then having to do it again to Seattle and back for the last one without proper rest
Would love them to do well, that’s if they don’t just swerve it altogether, and I wouldn’t blame them.

Absolute disgrace the treatment they are getting.
 
Really enjoying the lack of respect the world has for the US at the moment ,some great acceptable racism/xenophobia going around. Hopefully it will spill over into real life too

I'm actually looking forwards to the Mexico games. Rabid home support and a truly iconic stadium. Always wondered what that weird shadow on the middle of the pitch was during the '86 tournament. Their support should be great to see.
