Can't believe Germany left out Sane from Man City. 😨

@JohnnyShoulder Hes been below average for the National Team tbf.

Spain's national team manager has been sacked. Hope this doesn't mess up their preparation.

US, Canada and Mexico to host 2026's World Cup.

We did a sweepstake at work yesterday. I got Saudi Arabia. Quietly confident.

The US only recently had the world cup should not have been awarded to them again so soon. Morocco would have been a better choice and more affordable for football fans.

@hotukdeals I wouldnt say its too soon considering Mexico had it 16 years after 1970. Germany hosted 32 years after the previous time and this would be the same.

Would have been good to see another nation such as Morocco get it as you said though, they are quite a enthusiastic footballing nation, although from what I understand of the reports given, Morocco's infrastructure would need massive investment to become viable, even though eight years should be long enough to do it..

And of course the other issue is profit, the forecast for money making in North America was double that of Morocco and as we know, spreading the word of football is only beaten by the need to make cash.

So to agree with your other point, it certainly wont be as affordable in North America

@hotukdeals Are you kidding??? The last time we had the World Cup was 1994, Which means when it comes this way again it would be 32 years.

I for one am quite happy that it will be here, I just hope that I will be living near one of the venues at that time.

Will ticket prices be different depending on the venue? If so, I'm assuming matches played in Mexico will probably be cheaper.

Hierro, "David, you've got to carry us lile you carry Man Utd. CARRY US!"
David de gea, "Carry us. Carryus. Caryus. Karyus. Karius!"

Another hat trick by C7! He has scored 50+ hat tricks already.

World Cup came alive last night.

I’d be very surprised if we get a better game than Portugal-Spain in the group stage.
Great game for the neutrals.

Only thing missing was either Ramos or Pepe getting sent off.

Was hoping that Messi would score a few goals yesterday so he and Ronaldo could have a proper contest to see who can get the golden boot. Unfortunately, he didn't even register one goal.:/

Well done Mexico. Loved it.

Great start to our campaign 😡.
We were dreadful out there. Mexico deserved that win.

That was an awesome match to watch. Germany certainly has a better team, but Mexico gave it their all really. Deserved win.

I'm rooting for France by the way, love their current roster.

Neymar got schooled by Behrami, lol!

A lot of big/good teams drawing their matches so far.

Wanted to watch new summer signing Fred but he got injured during training. - -;

Spain anf France have very good squads, but i always feel that they are one moment away from some kind of disaster happening. Like sacking your manager two days before a tournament.

We really should make a World Cup thread. I'll do it now.

@get2sammyb We weren't allowed by one of your underlings....
