WORLD CUP 2026

[Kilburn]

NZ under the cosh, that lead lasted nicely, free header, perhaps got a little lucky off the post.

2:38pm in NZ, where are you Kiwi, at work pretending to work? Just use the "boss" button on your computer!

 

[Kilburn]

These WC results would be great for the Littlewoods Pools!

 

[kiwiqpr]

good game though

France playing like Spain did awful

 

[Hoops Eternal]

Why can't they just be honest, they are not hydration breaks they are Ad breaks for US Television

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

As incredible as Mbappe can be and probably will be at some point in the tournament if not today, pressing from the front is so important now and he just doesn’t do it. They’re ten men without the ball.

Well, if they are just going to stand around and do nothing amusing, we don't have to watch them do it.

 

[Stroller]

Ludicrous decision not to give France a pen.

 

[jeffranger]

France must have got a bollicking at H/T different side & quicker now

Well, he's looking pretty good.

As they say, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

 

[Stroller]

Awful first half, but a cracking second half. France the team to beat.

 

[Kilburn]

It was a day for superstars Mbappe, Messi & Haaland to shine. Nice to see some winning results instead of draws.

I need to know if Strollsy has his England flag up

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

Saying that I don’t think I’ve seen one white van with a flag and only one in a bedroom window so far. One Japan and one South Africa on my street but those are permanent fixtures.

No flag, we've put my grandson's England shirt in the window instead.

Hundreds of vans and cars with Scotland flags going around up here, and plenty of bunting and flags at houses too

Not many England flags though - I was tempted but don't want my house burnt down
