World Cup: National Team threads #2

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

If Jogi were still in charge I probably wouldn't watch, but with Flick having taken over I'm not sure I'll be able to resist.

Meh I say enjoy it regardless you watching or not watching isn't going to do anything to impact positively or negatively. Why deprive yourself of some joy(until Argentina takes the title)

Yup if *knocks on wood* Canada ends up qualifying I'm going to need to really resist not going into debt to go sleep in a Qatar back alley and go to the games.

I feel like the obvious answer is "because that's exactly the mentality that lets this type of s*** continue"? I can't change other people's minds, but I can control whether I contribute or not.

...and though I probably won't be able to resist watching the games on a screen, I sure as s*** won't be spending any money on traveling to Qatar to watch them in person.

Save your money for 2026!

Already have that money set aside :p

Yeah, it would be more useful if all companies and stores that sell the products would be forced to publish in those products that this has been produced by slave labour and x number of people died/got sick making this product. And publish on their website the names of politicians, government & business personnel who approved the sale of this product.

The issue there is that most of these companies do the same with outsourcing. Getting cheap labour from developing nations. I didn’t want to continue this after the reply from @cgf so this is all I’ll say.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does he disavow his former club then?

 

[Incubajerks]

I think Chiesa broke his ACL...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Surprised given he’s barely played should be interesting to see if he’s used at all though

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Rooting for Ronaldo to go to the WC one last time anyways.

 

[KlausJopling]

Mexico lost its appeal so next 2 home games are behind closed doors. Probably not good news for US and Canada since one of those games I against Panama.

They got away with it again. They will have limited fans at the next 2 games.

Somewhat weird timing, but maybe for some reason they couldn't do it after the ANC. I think it's likely that some teams which are drawn against each other will meet already during the Nations Cup knockout stages.

 

[Power Man]

I just hope we’ll draw Ghana instead of Cameroon in the WCQ lol

If f there is one team in Africa that has our number it’s Cameroon, historically we have beaten them only once

 

[Savi]

Thomas Vermaelen has retired from football and will join the Belgium NT coaching staff.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Would Rashford and Sancho currently make the England squad for the World Cup?

 

[luiginb]

They probably shouldn't.

 

[JPBolts]

I don't think he would make the final 30, but Jacob Ramsey definitely should be on the radar of the England NT

 

[gary69]

Terrible draw in the African WC final qualification round. You coudn't have done much worse even if you wanted to.

We will see either Mali or Tunisia in the finals.

And of course it's Algeria vs. Cameroon.

Egypt vs Senegal too. Salah vs Mane

Had a feeling we were going to get that since they probably won’t meet at AFCON. These draws are always rigged

Ugh... I'm sick of Tunisia at World Cups. Sick of it so please give us Mali.

Of f***ing course we are playing Cameroon

The one team I didn’t want us to face
