World Cup 2026

[SWLondon Saint]

After that pinball in the Japan box when they somehow kept it out, they broke and should have made it 2-0 but muffed it. Was thinking 'they'll regret that mess up' but didn't think it would be that quickly!

How so? It was number 7 that lost the ball.

There could be some serious crowd trouble at some point with the lack of segregation. 

Inshallah.

Random bold prediction time. Japan will reach the final. Mark my words.

Sorry, just realised I made a typo. Meant 'won't'

Nah, his mate on the other side who gave the ball away did.

Yeah, it was Tanaka of Leeds who won it then gave it away. Sugawara did OK against Vini Jr but Japan got what they deserved I think, they were far too passive after scoring when they should have gone for a second. Reminded me a lot of Southgate-era England actually.

Yeah, the Leeds lad knew it was on him - poor guy is distraught.

Yeah, he should have been closer to Martinelli but the main blame has to be on the guy who needlessly gave the ball away and he's the one in floods of tears.

Not watching. No idea what he said.

But I agree with you.

Was gutted for them at the end. Thought they did really well, but just got tired facing so much quality. 
 

Brazil are a bit strange. They have outstanding attack and flair, as you’d expect, but their midfield isn’t what it used to be. 
 

Cant see them winning the whole thing.. but you can never really write them off

The magic definitely gone from Brazil. Used to really look forward to seeing them with players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka now aside from one or two it’s a load of average premier league players

The world caught them up on skill some time ago. But they will always have strong squads, and I thought there was just a touch of the old swagger in the second half. But they really are just in the mix with the other top sides these days.

My cousin in Germany say fans there not impressed with Germany, tactics, team selection,  manager, rumours Klopp was taking over.

I have asked do German managers in leaques really spy on all teams. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Very boring.  Extra time or pens anyone?

You can see why their followers might think that. No fluency and now they're a goal down.

Germany defence found out again. Maybe they dont want to play France. 

[LiberalCommunist]

These games are now moving so fast I didn't even realise Almiron has already served his one game ban. The start of the tournament felt so slow, now the games are almost coming round too quick.

Its like all the decent players are injured and this is what's available bit part team.

[SNSUN]

This could have shades of the Japan game. The underdog scores first and the bigger club somehow scrape a win.

But it would he funny if Germany went out.

Is that the actual case? I know little about german football, except that it's about a two horse race most seasons.

Paraguay look very fit and fast, able to close down. Germany too slow and turned into a possession team not direct and quick enough. Germany defenders are shocking. The old days all players could attack and defend by covering players. Germany been lucky so far and I dont think they have 9 lives this word cup !!

If Paraguay were to go 2 up, I don't see Germany winning.
