FIFA World Cup 2026

Egypt got robbed.

France at 32%, Argentina at 20%, Spain at 19% and England at 16%. Looks like the order has been preserved so far...

[Pirez]

Yes, but you don't take into account the fact that France - Morocco will be reffed by a full team of Argentinians.

This will render the game unwinnable by France due to a red card for Mbappé, Olise, Maignan and Dembélé before the 10th minute.

I have to agree and say that I'm scared of this scenario as well. I know France has el dictador Mbappé on their side, but it's not going to work against the VAR.

Next day edit: Congrats France for the 2-0, no VAR interventions, perhaps el dictador had some influence after all!

[Hunchman801]

Yeah, that was a strange decision, but whatever, it doesn't seem to have mattered much in the end.

The semifinal could just as easily have been the final. I don't know what the French press will say, but here it feels like this is probably going to be the most intense match of the World Cup. I still think France is the favorite because of its explosive offense, although I very much doubt France will feel comfortable on Tuesday. It's going to be interesting.

[Hunchman801]

This isn't going to be an easy game for anyone... may the best win!

[Xtof60]

I can't believe France are out! I'm mortified.

Spain really has the potential to repeat 2010 now!

[Hunchman801]

Yeah, looks like Spain is the favorite now! Too bad for France, but Spain deserved to win. Better win the final too, now!

[Giant Chicken]

Watching the England vs Argentina match, currently halftime, Argentina deserves more yellow cards >:(

[Hunchman801]

That last minute goal was something... and then there were two.

[Giant Chicken]

Why did I check back on this thread, now I spoiled myself

[Hunchman801]

How did you guess who scored the last goal then?

[Giant Chicken]

Dont get my hopes up, I already know in my heart and soul that Argentina is about to make me weep for the rest of time...

(But what if )

Edit: just shoot me now

[Steo]

It's NOT coming home.

[Hunchman801]

Looks like winning was not enough.

[Steo]

Here come the politics in sports.

[DaveRattlehead]

Are you sure, pal?



England's approach was disastrous, and honestly, I think Tuchel should be sacked right immediately. How do you park the bus with every defender you've got when there are still 35 minutes left to play? The crazy thing is they were actually playing well, there was absolutely no reason to change anything! Since Germany's 7–1 win over Brazil, I think this has been one of the most embarrassing defeats I've seen at a World Cup.

Anyway, I love this final. It's going to be tough as hell. The Argentinians know how to compete, so we'll see how it goes. From an outsider's perspective, it's hard to tell who the rest of the world will be rooting for. I think both our countries are equally disliked, for one reason or another.
