World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

[clownfoot]

He's one of the all time greats. His longievity is amazing, similarily his adaptability - he's delivered in three of the biggest leagues + at national level for two decades. Yeah, he's a bit of an arse, but I'd love to have just a fraction of his dedication in what I do.

I’ve no doubt Messi has a big ego but compared to Ronaldo it would pale in comparison. Between the two I’ve always preferred Messi but Ronaldo has been sensational, especially when he played centrally. Just find it funny that it clearly irks him that there was someone most people think was better than him

that's the mentality that got him there

 

[Dicko]

John Terry doesn't miss a single VIP invitation does he!?

Definitely, in terms of mentality I’d dare say he’s the best ever. Messi just seeming more naturally gifted is another thing that made me like him more though

There’s a solidity over this England team, they look less brittle and frail like previous versions. Quality across the pitch. Keep everyone injury free and who knows, this team could beat anyone.

a lot of average though, Gordon and Madueke aren't going to get anything past decent fullbacks

Players better get those fluids in...it's 18oC and raining.

And for sure he's gonna do whatever it takes to try to be fit and in form for the next WC too, in Morocco, Spain - and Portugal.

Zzzzzzz

Gotta get those ads in, to keep the dollars flowing for Infantino...

there are written rules for this, if a player goes down with a head injury on 44 minutes there is no way for the ref to call halftime early either

What???

Gordon certainly will, in my opinion, but agreed on Madueke.

Stupid water break gonads.

Zzzzzzz

Rooney’s analysis makes Michael Owen seem positively insightful!

BBC really have had some brick pundits for the World Cup I much prefer Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Gary Lineker and Duncan Ferguson etc on ITV.

 

[Baleforce]

What???

the moaning about the hydration break not being taken early when James was down

the ref cannot do that, they have to wait for a break in play after 22:30

 

[Baleforce]

England need to draw them out and get Pickford on the ball more, give him the chance to bang it in behind

 

[Dicko]

Ah ok I get ya. Bit different ending a half early compared to a drinks break but yeah, the whole thing is brick. Should only be for games where its above a certain temperature etc

 

[Robbo]

32 completed passes in 35 minutes, that's insane

 

[elyid]

Madueke is genuinely worse than Tel.

James, Konsa and Guehi can’t pass and look scared with the ball. We do miss Stones at the back for his comfort on the ball.

 

[Baleforce]

both mandated breaks in the game under the laws for the tournament

I think better to have it in every game than only some
