World Cup 2026

Poor goalkeeping. No defenders there helping him out though.

Exactly. What was the guy going to do.

 

[SparkleFur]

Poop

 

[SparkleFur]

Very confusing that both sides' supporters were wearing red

 

[SparkleFur]

This idiot commentator just said The stadium is full of Spanish supporters - look at all that red!

I’d have happily watched another 30 minutes of that! Feel so sorry for the substitute goalkeeper.

France v Spain could be a classic.

Hope so but they’ll be very wary of each other so will start slow.

Yeah that would be a worry, so probably needs an early goal to get things moving.

Sounds like my last date. (Ha! I'll be here all week. )

 

[ReallyRandyReader]

I must be the one who didn’t really get into that. I dunno.

I can appreciate Spain as a technical team, but they also just leave me a bit cold somehow.

I thought Belgium were kind of punching above their weight to get this far in the tournament.

I dunno. Wasn’t really for me that one

 

[TiedbyChris]

Belgium got out of jail against Senegal and were then fired up against USA because of the political shenanigans, so got definitely further than expected. That said, they were the first team to score against Spain and deservedly so.

France are favourites to beat Spain but if they click on the night, I can see a Spanish win.

 

[ReallyRandyReader]

Yeah Spain could beat France, but with an out of sorts Yamal, I just can’t get excited about them. Doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to win the semi or even the WC. Doesn’t make them a bad team, but I’ll just personally find it a bit meh if they do

Spain and France have played twelve games

Belgium
Portugal
Austria
Cabo Verde
Uruguay
Saudi Arabia
Morocco
Paraguay
Sweden
Norway
Senegal
Iraq

Given that Norway didn't even try, this game will be a big step up for them both. You could even make the argument that the toughest opponent on that list was Cabo Verde.

 

[SparkleFur]

Morocco were my outside tip for the whole thing but very disappointed in their performance tonight.

I had good feelings about them too...

Warm in Miami 90 with a dewpoint of 75

Norway will probably lose if this style of play keeps up,England will eventually find one.

England hasn't shown any sign of any idea of what to do against that style so far. Might as well far forward to penalty kick shootout

 

[TunnelKing089]

Ooh look they attacked 1-0

 

[TunnelKing089]

Gotta watch them sneaky Norwegians.... on the attack now.

Norway comfortably the better team. England haven't had a shot on target, Norway have had at least three

 

[TunnelKing089]

1-1 England finds some space.

 

[Bathtubbill]

Good equaliser, game on

 

[TunnelKing089]

Offside England no goal this time.
Couple more might be coming though.

 

[TomTeacher19]

Doesn't matter if you are the better team on the pitch. Only matters if you score the goals.
