2026 FIFA World Cup - General Chat

Fully invested for when English get knocked out and the angst it causes on here with gentlemen who like a flag on a lamp post.

Which of the above flags would look best on a roundabout?

 

[Simon Buttle]

A world cup of 48 teams taking place in Trumplandia does not sound so appetising

Nope, think I will be giving this a swerve tbh

 

[Runub]

Is Trump refereeing the final

Is Trump refereeing the final

It'll be the best refereed final the world has ever seen

Was really looking forward to it but the extra teams, the dynamic pricing, the fact ireland wont qualify has really put a dampener on it. Ill still watch it and probably really enjoy it once its on tho! Can't help but going the atmosphere will be crap. Do they at least hold some tickets back for qualifying teams travelling fans??

They'll allow beer at this one won't they?

 

[Swartzy]

If South America had got their way it would have been 64 teams..

Not only will alcohol be sold, you can actually drink it in view of the field.

It'll also be $20 a pint.

surely those vats of ale they sell at the baseball, 3 gallon tubs aren't they?

I'd like to say I'll give it a miss because its become bloated and is bound to be very "Americanised" - by which i mean full of plastic tatty glitz and vulgar showmanship. But that's not fair to Canada and Mexico, the grown up hosts.

Nonetheless I'll probably watch England games ... only the England games.

I used to watch every match i could and do the wall charts. Now so much money is involved I can no longer watch a game without quickly wondering which team is pre-determined to win to create the golden fixtures bound to keep the sponsors happy. The Hollywood script writers will be paid well no doubt.

And presumably an American pint which is 4/5 of a proper pint.

Hope Diana Ross takes another pen...

Another 'Hello Wembley' would probably bury me. Bless her pampered socks.

 

[Swartzy]

I dread to see the event they end up planning for the final.

Cheerleaders before kickoff

Taylor swift show at half time

Trump singing Nessun Dorma as the trophy is handed out..

 

[Rita_Poon]

could be worse, could be swift squeaking Pavarotti out and trump in the spandex with heaving cleavage...
