We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

A lot of the Asian Qualifying games are free on Youtube.
Saudi Arabia currently finds themselves down 1-0 to Indonesia.

Columbia - Argentina is a wonderful matchup. My new favorite rivalry. They hate each other and both of them play beautiful football.
Their match two or three days ago was great.

European Qual group stage draw will take place on Dec 13th.
All teams in each group won't be known yet at the draw since Nations League playoffs are not concluded by then.
"Qualifiers begin in March 2025 and end with the play-offs in March 2026. Teams will be drawn into 12 groups of four and five teams. Teams drawn in groups of five will begin qualifying in March and teams drawn in groups of four start their campaigns in September. All groups conclude in November 2025."
"The 12 group winners qualify directly for the World Cup. The 12 group runners-up participate in the play-offs, along with the four best-ranked group winners of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League that did not finish their European Qualifiers group stage in first or second place."

Paywalled but what is the issue?
Everyone pretty much walked back on the tariffs. Kicked the can until next month while they negotiate. Can’t see it being a long term issue.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Trump started displaying a replica World Cup trophy last week when the tariffs were talked about. I think he was reminding Canada and Mexico that his very close friend is in charge of FIFA and, gosh, wouldn't it be a shame if he suddenly decided the US should host the World Cup alone?

All the participating nations should say they are boycotting the tournament and set it up somewhere else.
Trump task force… LOL.

It’s always been the politics I don’t like out of football/sports. Otherwise I very much want to keep it.

Just dumb that we’ve seen FAs get in trouble for having government meddling and then this is not just permitted but celebrated by Infantino.

Trump getting more involved makes this tournament far more FIFA. The string of competitions with questionable governments and leadership continues.

Well the stadium isn’t WC material and then you add the french language police lolBoth can be true. Toronto will be hyped as well, but Montreal would definitely bring a different vibe to the table. The city's own fault though really
