No preference between Norway and England, good players on both sides, and probably the most well respected minute of silence of all the games.
May the best team win!
You have Argentina to crush next if Switzerland can't!- GO! SPORT!!pango
- Both teams looking tired; Halland especially! 2 cancelled goals, humidity, etc.
"Meh" game. Neither team can match Argentina OR the French / Spain side.ideaist - https://youtube.com/…spl33nidoru

For the England / Norway match this weekend I'm waiting very curiously for the raft of memes that reference viking invasions.
AI generated ideas:
IF ENGLAND WIN:
"The first decisive English victory over Scandinavian invaders since Alfred the Great in 878."IF NORWAY WIN"
"Historians are calling it less of an upset, more of a scheduled raid."

Neat.
- Very clever, love it.Longcopylover
- agreed, and the jersey - I'd hate to say it, actually looks better the bigger the logo_niko

It's like the volume on life is turned down low right now... hahaha. I know all the drama, all the politics, all the corruption. But, damn I love this game, I love the world cup!
- We wait 4 years for these, they matter big time!
Sometimes I have WC withdrawal and watch Brazil - Germany 2014. Still miss the 2010 vuvuzelas.spl33nidoru - VUVUZELAS!!!!!pango
- Damn right!! I loved them, they gave a mad max thrill to the games.
https://www.youtube.…spl33nidoru - hehe I still have one and nothing makes the dog leave the room quickerMrT
- Soccer drama!monospaced

- Please next time do it somewhere else.pango
- We wait 4 years for these, they matter big time!
- Nairn2
Did the team win, then?
- The one we want to win, I mean.Nairn
- It did for a while :(spl33nidoru
- In the non darkest timeline Egypt went through 3-1. VAR con job. Not sitting through Thierry wax poetic about Messi they all know what really happenedjonny_quest_lives
- The more skilled team won. People mad at VAR for exposing.cotton
- Guess it will end up being FRA v ARG.
My main man Mbappé had better pwn Messi.Continuity - Although NOR v ARG would be awesome.Continuity
- you claw back a goal utilizing a mechanism that has never existed prior to 2026 of course the momentum will change. https://i.imgur.com/…jonny_quest_lives
- Mbappé > Messi (albeit 1 more letter!)
: )ideaist - who do we want to win Nairn? Can we take vote?Ianbolton
- votes are rigged...neverscared
- we all want the best team to win... jamaicaneverscared
- lol modern tech complaints. Should we go back to sacrificing losing teams and kicking fabric-covered rocks, too?cotton
- Argentina scored the winning goal the exact same way the Egypt goal got ruled out btw but yeah keep telling me the fix wasn't injonny_quest_lives
- Actually, he touched the ball first. The disallowed goal came from Egypt stepping on his foot and never touching the ball. Quite different if you look at it.cotton

- ya I don't really know foot ball or care for it. I'm just here for the drama.pango

Theory going round that Trump leant on Infantino because he thought the US would have to play Belgium with 10 men from the start..
which makes no sense and perfect sense.
- Haha. My missus asked this question when Quansah was sent off for England v Mexico. "Does that mean they have to play the next game with 10 players?"Ianbolton
- ha, at least she didn't tell a global TV audience how unfair it would beFax_Benson
- *assuming she didn'tFax_Benson
- That trackstank02
- Hardly because he knows sports. He knows sports really well.Luda
- he knows sports more than anyone else. My missus on, the other hand!!Ianbolton
- It makes sense in the context of Trump being thick as shit, but surely Infantino would have corrected him?MrT
- or its just the trump curse.. everything he touches southneverscared
- goes southneverscared
- what an idiot. but before all that they should erase the word soccer and call it football like the rest of the world.renderedred

The Egyptian hearts have now been officially added to the cultures museum of ruins. THANKS FIFA!
- T_Tpango
- Some very dubious decisions by the ref.Chimp
- Tough on Egypt but not sure the decisions were obviously wrong. There's no definitively right or wrong answer on lots of these tight calls.Fax_Benson
- Ianbolton1
that disallowed Egypt goal was tight as fuck. Why wait sooooo long to call it?
- FIFA corruption... https://c.tenor.com/…jonny_quest_lives
- https://c.tenor.com/…jonny_quest_lives
- ref didn't see it. var did. had to review and watch it clearly.cotton
- https://x.com/Absolu…jonny_quest_lives
- Way too long and inconsistent. But if the GOAT goes through the retirement league he plays in looks good eh? They've lost the benefit of any doubt by nowMrT
- Terrible refChimp
- Salarrue5
Mexico - England referee is a joke
- No way was that a penaltyChimp
- Red card was a joke too. First contact with the ball. Clean tackle. Cleats up could result in a yellow, but NOT a red.Krassy
- That was fucking stressfulMrT
- England played it perfectly - I actually trust Tuchel now._me_
- ^ yeah. Ref's an Aussie, so there were 80,001 people against England!MrT
- Seems like everyone is hating on England. I hope we win!ShaneHolley
- England will finish 3rdKrassy

Did the ref have a match-fixing problem before? Yup.
Did Messi commit almost the exact same foul and receive nothing? Yup.
Was I embarrassed about what Dipshit did to have the red suspended? Yup.
Did I expect the US to beat Belgium? Nope.
Was I hoping that we'd at least show up and put on a consistent performance equal to what we'd shown in our first three games? Hell yeah.
Did our entire team completely shit the bed in the biggest game of their lives. Ugh. Yes.If you believe in karma, this was a textbook example of it.
- It's the USA team that we are used to...
real difference shows when you play a real team. Belgium is like Holland, they are good!AQUTE - From the Midfield to the Back we've been trash from the start... I would constantly wince at Freese's goalkeeping. Pretty sure Turner might have been betterjonny_quest_lives
- Poch made a decision that Freese had more consistent playing time. Just mad at myself for drinking the Poch Kool aid.He has work to do for 2030jonny_quest_lives
- Tried to convince myself this team was as good as the 2002 team and i feel bad because not by a country mile was this team as good as the 2002 teamjonny_quest_lives
- FWIW, the US shat the bed in more or less the same way my boys on the Canada shat the bed with their match against Morocco.
All the same: Death to Fifa.Continuity - *the Canada teamContinuity
- To be fair, this was their first big boy game of the tournament. Anyone expecting a different outcome was delusional.cotton
- True that.Continuity
- It's the USA team that we are used to...
