FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

No team has won the tournament and surrendered a single goal; if Spain win and shut out Argentina doing so, it would be a record.

There are a couple of teams that surrendered only one goal leading up to the final, but then surrendered further goals in the final.

You’re right to be scared. The singer is someone you should know especially if you are old :stuck_out_tongue:

This isthe closest anyone from Brazil has been to the Final in a long time.

And the fattest…

BTS!!

At least Ronaldo has a better haircut than back in '02.

…has never since been replicated.
I wonder why.
It truly was amazing.

Oh how much llnger does this fucking go on.

Only 45 more minutes.

Ah, today Shakira shows up looking like herself.
(Liked the little callouts thru the show like the Norway Row)

After making so much fuss about the haftime show I expected it at least to be musically interesting. Hm. Are they showing it in the USA or are they using it productively to shows ads?

Well, what kind of hippie show is this, with Coldplay and children of all colors and “Love” and stuff? And this in presence of Trump?

Muppets and muppets band not credited on FIFA halftime site. I’m delighted.

And kids! Much like a game here.

It’s on FoxOne.

Yes, whole show played.

Well, that is why Animal was there!

That was Madonna and not Gwen Stefani?

Spain is really not making much of their chances so far.

The vast majority of the Madonna section was pre-recorded and I’m pretty sure they digitally altered it to make her look younger. The only live part was at the end and they kept the camera wide.

Right now for the proper entertainment. Even though it’s an awful game of football, it’s still better than the HT shite.

The beauty of television. I can get up and do laundry.
