FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

Correct. There isn’t.

The US had six points. If they lose the next game, they still have six points.

The US beat both Paraguay and New Zealand who both have three points. If one of them wins (no draw) they will have six points and lose in the first tie breaker (head to head)

Jesus. CR7 celebrating like he scored a QF winner.

Maybe he knows he doesn’t have too many more in him.

Now that was a surprise as everyone was focused on Ronaldo!

Can’t blame him for that though, after all the criticism.
You can blame him for deserving the criticism though.

CR7 has arrived

Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player to score in six world cups though he only has a total of 9 goals.

I hesitate to put him in the monster category with the other 3, but I’m biased.

Let’s see him against a quality team that shoves him around a little bit.

He’s the first player to score in six World Cups. He’s a longevity monster.

Yes, but the monsters in this category are there because they inspire fear in possible future adversaries.
Ronaldo may still be there, I fear I’m not putting him in that category because I can’t stand the man :smiley:

I don’t think that’s likely until at least the QF.

Colombia may put him to the test.

Not impossible, but I think very unlikely.

45 games in and we have overtaken the record for highest number of goals in a group stage (which have previously been 48 games).

Hat trick for CR7 today?

  • Yes
  • No
  • He gets more than 3

I plead the fifth.

I’m not happy about it.

Wait until they go to 64 teams!

He’s been sniped again. Will he be able to stand up again?
