A question for all:
Does anybody know how many Charlton Athletic players are going to the World Cup Finals, and which Countries they'll represent?
I don't know whether the Club has compiled a list.
Would be interesting to see.
And run an update page maybe, to see who lasts longest out there.

We should compare that to after the finals are played. I’m sure our scouts and money men are poised
It was just said on the BBC News that a 1966 World Cup Final ticket (for the Wembley game itself) cost the modern equivalent of £8
Yes. Eight Pounds.
11 shillings at the time. 55p in decimal money.
Even adjusted for inflation since 1966, less than a tenner.

FIFA pay decent money for clubs having players there, around $11,000 per day, starting two days before the tournament starts.

After a brief moment of sanity regarding banning team talks when goalies feign injury,
I see FIFA are back to their usual stupid ways...

That should not even be legal.
Fans will have to buy a bottle inside the ground.
Can't buy one? Guess you'll have to go without water, in the searing heat.

World Cup 2026: Heat experts warn 'reckless' Fifa of bottle ban health risk
Fans will not be allowed to take reusable water bottles into World Cup stadiums due to safety concerns, Fifa says in a late policy change.

No doubt there will be free water fountains available for fans to drink from. Otherwise it would mean fans having to pay extortionate prices for a bottle of water in a plastic bottle.

I’d be interested to hear people’s non England/Scotland nation that they’ll be supporting in the World Cup.
Mine is Portugal due to my good lady being from there and my son having dual English and Portuguese nationality

I'll be supporting Brazil & Sweden because of the Elfs connections, and I like their flag colours.
Bosnia too (for the flag colours).
Would have supported Ukraine as well for that reason, but they didn't qualify.
Lastly New Zealand and Australia because they still have the Union flag in the top left quarter.

The friendliest people I've met are Argies, so I'd be quite happy to see them win, and I think it will be either them or Brazil.
16 of the original 48 go out at the group stage, the group stages could be interesting to see if any team could rack up 10 goals in a game.
That aside, the minnows could serve up the more entertaining stuff as being more evenly matched.
Anyway, the reason for my post. Here are my sixteen teams who I think will exit at the first stage, I'd be interested in other members 16, it could be fun to see who is nearest to their tally.
South Africa
Quatar
Haiti
Australia
Coracao
Cote d'lvoire
Tunisia
Iran
Egypt
Cabo Verde
Saudi Arabia
Iraq
Jordan
Congo
Uzbekistan
Panama

Before anybody asks, no, I shall not be supporting Brazil even though I live out here.
