FIFA World Cup 2026

[Charlie]

In 2 hours begins the test game of the USA against Germany.

 

It will be interesting to see if both teams are ready for the FIFA World Cup 2026 next week.

All I can think when it comes to World Cup is Germany destroying Brazil by like 7 goals

 

I thought the Germans were going to score 10 goals and I think they could have but stopped - against Brazil!

My WC bet is Brazil to win at +900 odds. A young team with a extremely good manager for these situations.

Fox Sports https://www.youtube.com/@foxsports puts all games on YouTube in 2 versions:

~10 minute highlights, and ~20 minute extended highlights.

Without putting the result in the video title, suspense not killed!

And if you are strapped for time, there is also a recap of all matches of a day, mostly goals, in 10 minutes.

 

If you are outside the U.S., you can use a VPN to put yourself in the U.S. Sometimes YouTube blocks VPNs, it helps to open in a private tab and go to a state with a lesser used VPN, not east or west coast.

I watch this in Peacock. Their Telemundo channel has all the games but commentators are speaking Spanish (which I don’t mind).

Today’s games are on FOX over the air. Interesting that they’re on Peacock too.
 

KC is presently really excited and busy with Argentina and Algeria both playing and practicing here as their home base (England & The Netherlands too). Seems like all have great fan bases. I didn’t know what to expect, but wow!

We're headed to the Algeria Austria game! Looking forward to it! 

 

Just picked the KC match with the cheapest tickets since we aren't big soccer fans.

Awesome! Hope you have a great time! Feel free to ping me directly on restaurant, hotel, brewery and/or other recommendations.

Messi's hattrick today was quite impressive.

The pressure is on Ronaldo now...

[Paarslaars]

Not seeing a lot of matches here as the time difference makes it difficult. Watched my country play against Egypt though, we sucked balls. Coach needs to get his act together or we won't last long.

Germany looks dangerous to me!  Need to see them play more, but their touch was terrific and they were constantly a threat.  Cheers!

UK vs Croatia, what a game!

[Spekulatius]

I believe this is the first time, that a country at war with a host country (Iran - USA) plays in a World Cup. Funny that nobody talks about it.

Because other than Ourkid8 and Cubs, no one gives two shits about both country's leaders!    Cheers!

Lol ya, two middling soccer teams and two nations that are perpetually at war.

It would be pretty darn funny if Iran won the whole thing in New Jersey. Obviously can't really happen, but still amusing to think about.

Hope England keep playing like this, much more fun football to watch than their usual.

 

 

Polite p.s. England, not UK - otherwise Scotland wouldn't be playing.

You are right, and Wales had a separate team too... Shocking how Russia, India and China are not in, while Curacao is...

ITALY!
