world-cup-2026

[minor bridge]

yes their base got moved to mexico but their games are still in the us

friendlies dont mean anything

morocco lost 3-0 to the US a month before the 2022 wc

and look how that turned out

[honest tree]

11 more days

[tepid lava]

and tunisia second

🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️

[proper surge]

I wouldn't go that far actually. If it's friendlies after a major tournament right in the middle of the season, then it definitely doesn't mean much

But the last friendlies before the World Cup are used to either gather momentum or let the starting 11 get playtime together

[proper surge]

Against whom?

Not keeping track of all teams

[nocturne dagger]

Line up at 0-0

[tepid lava]

sweden japan netherlands

second of group

trust

[weary latch]

Japan is Goated fr

[nocturne dagger]

They have dynamic system

5 1 2 2
3 4 2 1
3 3 2 2

Or even 3 1 4 2

[nocturne dagger]

Like in last 10 minutes vs Scotland

[raven mango]

This champions league was just worst
Arsenal is meant to win

[grand meadow]

[raven mango]

Yeah man

Do you wanna argue

I have more point

[atomic sky]

0 chance

[sour creek]

I genuinely cannot go with this group anymore

I literally can't understand

Why do people think netherlands has ANY chance of topping the group

Their attack if fucking abismal

And they have probably the worst manager out of any team at the world cup

On the other hand

U have japan which is like probably top 10 itw rn and sweden who are great under potter so far

And i wouldnt even disregard tunisia who play very nice defensive football

If netherlands is relying on memphis depsy wout weghorst and gakpo to score

• managed my koeman

Yeah

No thanks

[twilit trail]

#football-chat wrong chanel pal

[still light]

When was the last time that Netherlands lost to an inferior side?

[torpid night]

Prob cause they don't really look into the squad and just say any big/popular teams will automatically top the group.

[sour creek]

It doesnt matter when

They had rasy qualifiers

Yet they still didnt manage to beat poland in 2 tries

And almost fumbled against LITHUANIA

And what do we know about sweden

So like ik first to speak hoe this usually isnt relevant information

But in the end if we look it pure on paper

Netherlands is finishing 2nd or 3rd

And knowing koeman

Probably 3rd

[tepid lava]

this world cup

[still light]

They rarely lose to shit sides and usually hold their own against better teams

[tepid lava]

mhm and japan will be first, and tunisia second

and sweden last

[sour creek]

I mean if they lost to malta lithuania and finland

Genuinely disolve the team

[still light]

They also played Ecuador Norway Spain twice since 2025

[sour creek]

I see

2 months ago

[still light]

Post the Norway game too then

[novel locust]

its like psg vs arsenal 😭

[still light]

Red card btw after 12 minutes lol

So as long as Netherlands don’t go down to 10 men before the water break I don’t think we should expect this type of performance

[sour creek]

And norway didnt have few players here

Including haaland

[still light]

If anything this shows resilience

[sour creek]

No it shows stupidity i cant lie

Getting a direct red card in a friendly

Definition of stupidity

[still light]

They won on xG over two legs against Spain in 2025

[still light]

That’s one player

[sour creek]

Idk

Like i cant even nake argument that netherlands are the stronget team on paper in tbat group

[still light]

If we look at the last tournaments with this group they went out to England due to a penalty kick in an otherwise low chance game on both sides as well as a penalty shootout against Argentina where they conceded under 1 xG (conceded a pen too) and created nothing

[still light]

According to every elo system I’ve seen they are but I agree they have a lot going against them

They very much will drop points in this competitive group

But I value big sides not losing to chumps and this Netherlands side does that

Dude I just checked

Dumfries gave away the Argentina penalty and the England penalty lmfao

[sour creek]

Gk Verbruggen decent choice prone to bozo gene

Fullbacks: very questionable like their first choices are dumfries and timber but like will they even make it to the wc with those glass legs

Cbs: fine ig they have vdv and vvd and lets consider vdv being good as we think he should be just in case

Midfield: their strongest options de jong gravenberch actuslly thats it everyone else is in a mediocre form at best ig de roon?

Attack: like who genuinely who except malen i would legit pick flemming as their second best but guess what koeman has never heard of the guy

[still light]

Dumfries is a ticking time bomb fuck his attacking impact

[sour creek]

Probably one of the worst dutch sides we have seen in a long long time

[pearl panther]

Luis suarez out of world cup

[sour creek]

Huh?? When was he even considered for wc squad 😭

[still light]

They have enough CBs to play as fullbacks

Midfield is imbalanced they have strong carriers of the ball and good runners but no insane volume passer except de Jong

Attack is ugly I completely agree but they have at least the potential for transition threat in malen and gakpo

[pearl panther]

Yeah I forgot he wasn't ig

[sour creek]

They genuinely need to pray on individuality of some of their players to do anything

[placid tulip]

@craggy crest

[sour creek]

By some i mean exactly de jong and malen

[craggy crest]

Hiii

[sour creek]

Is those 2 dont show up its fucking gg

[placid tulip]

HEY

[craggy crest]

HRUUUU

[placid tulip]

GOOD HBU

[craggy crest]

IM GOOOD TOOOO

[placid tulip]

Yay

[still light]

You don’t like gakpo?

[sour creek]

Why would i

He was abismal this season

[still light]

He is always their best attacker

[craggy crest]

💗💗

[placid tulip]

Who will win wc

[sour creek]

I dont see it happening

[craggy crest]

Englanddd

[still light]

Euro 24 WC 22 arguably Nations league and in qualifying he was their most threatening

[placid tulip]

Ok then I support them

[craggy crest]

Yayyyy ilyyyy

@craggy crest @placid tulip just move on talk about football

[woeful plaza]

Hi fire

I didn’t even realize there was a World Cup chat

[drifting coyote]

He retired from international football in 2024

[sudden mango]

oh yeah you right, i forgot his announcement

[robust bison]

right, dms exist too

[drifting coyote]

This is my new account

Tonight we have a Brazil vs Panama

[neat harness]

Also Rodri aint in form who was the player of the tournament last euros

[neat harness]

Bro, he's retired for national team long time ago

[neat harness]

Mate he retired for national team long timr ago

[drifting coyote]

Algeria released the list

[drifting coyote]

No Baghdad bounedjah 😢

[torpid night]

Official: Ronaldo R9, OUT of the 2026 World Cup

[sudden mango]

fabrizio got me icl

why would he even announce that 😭

i forgot about his announcement

[twilit trail]

Ok, but I don't understand why people are so upset about him not getting called up for the squad, if he's retired...

[neat harness]

They're misinformed lol

[torpid night]

Cause most just react to the tweet, without having any knowledge.

[twilit trail]

Ok I see

[dense imp]

fairs

[still light]

Just a training pitch

[dense imp]

thoughts on countries taking 4 keepers

to the wurl cup

[loud falcon]

Scotland decimate ya

[still light]

It’s smart when the 4th is outside the official squad like Urbig with Germany

We did this last euros too to have an even amount of keepers in training

[jagged schooner]

anyone that says we will get grouped are just ragebaiting

[humble echo]

yo

[blazing patrol]

imagine usa vs iran in ro32

its actually possible

[sterile egret]

any famous prediction outside the economist guy

I learned that EA did not predict portugal to win ..

[normal juniper]

I predict either England or Brazil to win

They will face each other QF I think, so the winner of that wins the whole thing

France with Mbappe is gonna be a battle of egos, and Spain is looking sus

Portugal might also win, but Ronaldo is holding them back, not great in the Euros and just doesnt perform as well as he should for Portugal

[blazing patrol]

🥹

[worthy shadow]

This England squad is a bit quizzical

[blazing patrol]

it is but the system also makes sense

every position has 1 or 2 backups

no one playing out of position

[worthy shadow]

Indeed

Shame McGuire couldn’t make it in

[blazing patrol]

agreed

[worthy shadow]

Palmer over Noni?

[blazing patrol]

palmer is washed this season

[worthy shadow]

Chelsea as a whole was quite washed

[blazing patrol]

noni showed yesterday how important he can be towards the end of the game

[worthy shadow]

Did what they could

[still light]

Don’t be offended

[tepid lava]

its not even abt my country being that low

[autumn prairie]

This is awful

[still light]

What then

[still light]

It’s according to ELO

[autumn prairie]

Who cares, put Haiti below us rn

[whole wind]

Qatar last just as they should be

How the hell are they so high on the fifa rankings

[still light]

?

[clever loom]

🏴 Scotland vs 🇧🇷 Brazil

Category 2
Section 124, Row 10

Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium), Miami Gardens, Florida 🇺🇸

Resale value going for 750$.

[autumn prairie]

You know what I said

I’m tired of showing that we’re 100x better than Haiti

[lofty ingot]

The fact Norway is always high in those rankings I better not be disappointed

[short birch]

Arsenal fell onto despair

[atomic tendon]

1-0

🇩🇪 🇫🇮

friendly*

[unkempt nest]

I would put haiti and curacao in a tier below of e

like jordania saudi and all that afc teams are better

[boreal cloud]

https://www.reddit.com/r/worldcup/s/UaiZG6Hjlv

[unkempt nest]

also paraguay isnt that good, australia and canada are not better than ivory coast Usa and czechia

[modest orbit]

ngl i hope brazil wins WC

[storm horizon]

hey guys know any server who have watch parties for all football matches ??
