FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter Finals ** spoilers **

[Participant]

I blame the heat and the reason for me throwing a semi about willy nilly

Please don't do that in public.

If it's not in public what's the point?

Talk of a bank hol if England reach the final.

 

[Nabinium]

Let's try not to get ahead of ourselves. We've got the quarters to get through first

Henderson breaking his leg cheering a goal!

Probably end up tripping up Bellingham

Half the country be off sick in any case if we win tbh

I'm far more worried about our ability to get past Argentina. They always have something over us, be it raw ability or dirty cheating.

One step at a time, Norway will definitely be a challenge

Less bothered by Messi nowadays than the Messi of old if you can block off his service.

The whole of the team play looking for Messi but he doesn't have the speed he once did so it gives the chance for breaking on them.

Rest of the time, get 4 players around him

Been reading that the Argentina football authorities being investigated for $300m fraud and money laundering, colour me surprised

I would like Morocco to beat France, hopefully the Swiss can stop ARG, Eng to beat Norway and Belgium to send the Spaniards packing. The total opposite will most likely happen.

Well the refereeing team for France/Morocco is Argentinian so we could get another Paraguay-esque performance hey?

Team America **** yeah

 

[spudbynight]

Team America **** yeah

I'm just hoping the world cup is going to be like 1966 times a thousand!

I guess you can offer anything when you know its something that wont happen

 

[krooton]

I'm going to say....

France to beat Morocco in extra time
Spain to beat Belgium in extra time
Norway to beat England in extra time
Argentina to beat Switzerland in extra time

I feel more invested in your gambling than the actual WC

7 games left and the extra time kitty is down to being £180 up (£170 up after the France v Morocco bet is placed). Guaranteed to be up now at the end of the tournament but surely it can have a few more pennies in it yet
