I'm rooting for Saudi, but they look like garbage. Russia has a clear plan.

So it looks like this is the only game today? And what's with Russia's group? What garbage. As host nation are you automatically #1 in whatever group you're assigned to?

I think so.

Yep, first game is always host nation in group A. So hey, at least we get to host game 1 in 2026

We need more vuvuzelas...

Russia isn’t even good... Saudi Arabia is just that bad.

How the heck does Asia have so many qualification spots when this is the dreck they send to the WC?

I know it’s “fair” but they really need to realign qualifying somehow

God no

We need more vuvuzelas...

My wife and 2 of my kids went to southern California to watch Ghelsea and Inter Milan play in the Rose Bowl several years ago and my wife makes a comment that she sure is glad no vuvuzelas were being blown around us and then within a minute 3 young kids sit directly behind her with vuvuzelas.

That's how Amurrica plans to get in for 2026

Oh come on, they've made it 6 times in a row, and the 2026 World Cup will expand to 48 teams. Powerhouses of world soccer Italy and the Netherlands didn't make it this year either. The US won't need automatic qualification.

Alright, now that the children are out of the way... we can get to the real teams, Spain vs Portugal will be very telling.

Crazy soccer fans are crazy soccer fans.

Crazy soccer fans are crazy soccer fans.

People may give us Americans shit, but I can’t imagine us killing Clint Dempsey for an own goal in the group stage of the World Cup let alone the championship. We’d probably forever make fun of him though.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

PK IN THE THIRD MINUTE FOR CR7!!!!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

GOAL! Let’s go Portugal!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

And there’s the equalizer!

With added controversy

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

OMG that was as close to a goal as you can get, crossbar saves Portugal

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Ronaldo > Messi

Coworker of mine is from Spain; I've got the match streaming on her computer. I don't need to watch; I can hear what's going on just by her reactions.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]
