World Cup 2026

awooga83 hasn't really been any major upsets, Morocco are a good side and Germany are pretty weak this round

Disagree. Paraguay are terrible, they got fuckin spanked by the US 4-1... Even a mid Germany should've beaten them

awooga83

USArsenal Germany are also shit they cannot could not break Paraguay down so wet know very well if you can't score is a big problem that cash cost you. If the game goes to penalties then all bets are off as well

USArsenal And Australia didn't let Paraguay score.... (ignore that we couldn't score either - we didn't need to that day) 😆

Mirth France are so good that even Deschamps looks like an attacking coach.

Deschamps is doing an Ancelotti here, just keeping everyone friendly and relying on the sheer weight of talent. And to be fair it looks like he's doing it well

Mirth

Burnwinter I don't mind it, really. If there's one thing I like about the world cup, it's that manager's are relegated to secondary importance compared to club football.

Burnwinter

Mirth France were a joy today, highlight of my viewing of this tournament so far. Not gonna mind if they can keep doing it and win. They're a throwback at the same time as looking like what the future of the sport could be next time the tactical wheel turns. I hope Dowman is taking notes on Olisé's game.

The point was made that Mbappé actually looks happy playing for France ... says it all really

Asterix

Burnwinter it's great to see sides who think - doesn't matter if you score, we will score more. And they actually can.

So much fun.

Nicely put. I was thinking that at this World Cup France are actually playing a lot like Wenger's top teams.

The whole front line of France is unreal, Mbappe, Dembele, Olise and then Barcola/Doue to choose from. Nearly all of those guys at the peak of their powers as well. Probably have to back to Brazil teams to find such a stacked attack

Olise at No.10 has been so good

RowJimmy

Great game.
From our seats in the upper bowl, what was most striking was France's ability to control, and vary, the tempo. Five minutes of playing keepaway and then all of a sudden everyone's running at goal. Olise is the orchestrator but Mbappe is the accelerator. His burst is amazing.

Electric start to this Mexico-Ecuador match. Incredible atmosphere.

Bryant

That goal looked offside? Great finish though.

Mexico just looks unbeatable at the Azteca. They haven’t lost for 13 years!

lorddulaarsenal

Bryant England haven’t lost at the Azteca for more than 13 years!

GooneriC

Can't see England beating Mexico if they bring this kind of game in the next round.

Hincapie idiotic red

tazmania eh, makes little difference

Game was over but he knew that would be a red. It's a knucklehead mindless action

England have a 100% record against Mexico at World Cups. Said it earlier but I have my Dad's ticket stub from the last meeting.
One game at a time though.
