World Cup: Group I: France vs. Iraq, 6/22/2026

[Live in the Now]

Game is at 5 PM Eastern in Philadelphia.

Part of me thinks this is like Curacao and Germany. How much is it going to be? Iraq played well going forward but playing well against Norway and France are two completely different things.

Iraq would rather get their asses kicked than lay down and die. I really respect that.

They're absolutely going to get their asses totally kicked though. France by however many they want.

Robin Risser is apparently shocking the french squad in training. There's no doubt in my mind he's the future of France goaltending.

Yeah, I think he's got it locked up so tightly, the backup U21 goalkeepers should just leave.

They should quit. Maybe discover their ancestral homelands.

 

[Halladay]

Bad weather, might be delayed a bit.

Anybody in the NY area (north of the city specifically) having any problems with Comcast/Xfinity? They are my internet provider and I have internet. I can stream Apple TV etc (I can watch the World Cup on Peacock in Spanish except I don't speak Spanish) but Xfinity cable channels aren't working. Weird, I've never seen this before.

We have free state TV in Finland which buys and shows all the important sporting events in the world, thank god for that.

Mbappe out means the ballon d'or finally starts in his prime position.
I don't think we'd miss him at all.

Mbappe starts still, but 3 changes: Digne, Kone and Barcola in.

The problem is not that I don't have access, the problem is that for some reason Comcast cable channels are not working. I watched the earlier game today no problem, now the same channel doesn't load.
