OT: 2026 FIFA World Cup (June 21 - SPA v. KSA / BEL v. IRN / URU v. CPV / NZL v. EGY)

I'm not looking at permutations it's incredibly convoluted at this point.

It definitely is.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Future star? Or already a star?

One thing...easier said than done...but that pass could not have been intercepted by the goalie?

Apparently, SA goaltender plays in the 2nd series in Saudi Arabia. In other words, he's terrible.

What a pass he made to Oyarzabal.

 

[Nedved]

This has to improve Spain’s confidence. If they can score they’ll be dompetive, but really nice watching Yamal be yamal.

That megaphone is annoying AF.

 

[SlyWalker]

That megaphone is annoying AF.

Not as much as the Mexicans at the Guadalajara stadium during yesterday’s game between Japan and Tunisia that were chanting “ Mexico” during the entire game.

John Denver in a WC game including Spain and Saudi Arabia.

Beautiful.

Get ready for a very boring and low score Canada vs Swiss game. Canada finish 1st if they get a tie and Swiss need a 1 goal win to be first. So Canada will play max defense until they get scored on and if that happen Swiss will go full defense themselves. Its very unlikely either teams score a lot of goals. Its gonna be a 0-0 or 1-1 type of game.

Canada doesnt know what max defense is.

 

[Rapala]

Is there a specific reason for not taking the hydration break during the check?

 

[JianYang]

Some of these offsides make me angry like the old crease rule in hockey.

 

[Nedved]

Is there a specific reason for not taking the hydration break during the check?

Yes, big money for advertising during the game, and that’s really it.

Belgium is lucky to be going into the half 0-0. Iran was offside by a bum. Lol

Iran is defending their box well & they have a good goalie. Belgium are just off with their crosses either too high or too long.

Pulling for Iran because of all the political bullshit that their players and staff have to go through.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OMG! How did Belgium not score!!

 

[Redux91]

That's easily the save of the tournament lol

Especially because it's not like 3-0 Belgium lol

Cmon Iran

 

[ArtPeur]

lol Belgium

 

[Redux91]

Wow what a turn of events!!

Can Iran capitalize until full time?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh shit, Belgium just got a red card for a foul denying a scoring opportunity.

10 men for about 25 minutes maybe 30 (including injury time).

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I would take Lukaku off. He's not doing anything.

so slow, too many veterans on that starting team

They took Lukaku off.

Belgium are always dissapointing in big competition.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Belgium are always dissapointing in big competition.

Softest country in the universe.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

There's someone in the crowd dressed as Obelix. Lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

0-0 between Iran & Belgium. Iran really didn't do much with the man advantage for 30 minutes.

Group G has been all draws so far. It's possible top 2 teams go through with 3 points.

New Zealand & Egypt play much later tonight, 9 PM.

 

[JianYang]

Didn't realize carey price was Iranian.
