2026 World Cup - General Discussion & Non-USA teams thread

It was a really good game, and the scoreline didn’t show how many chances both teams had…really up and back game with three crossbars. I’m pretty invested in Ivory Coast, so some positive variance for them to pull out the three points as that one really could have gone either way.
I'm not sure what Tunisia's GK was doing. The defense stopped 1 shot, but the 2nd shot was a rocket that was perfectly placed.
Fixed. I had been guessing when I put down 88’. I’m particular about being exact and accurate, my OCD, one might say, sue me.
Yeah, looks like the most challenging group. Can three teams advance or just the top two? @Erial_Lion
If Tunisia loses all 3, then the other 3 teams will almost certainly advance. If one of those other teams loses/draws to Tunisia, then it becomes a lot tougher.
Basically, 4 points is pretty much a lock to make the Round of 32. 3 will likely be the cutoff where some will make it and others won't, so goal difference will be very important if you win one and lose two, ending up on 3 points.
Interesting timing…

If you're going to fire a coach after the 1st game, then he probably shouldn't have still been your coach heading into the World Cup, right?
Don't understand why Spain keeps launching so many long range shots...breaking them down with quick passing and getting the ball into the box seems like such a better strategy to me.
Hated Spain's lineup from the start...had the look of a team that thought they had this one in the bag. Little creativity in the final 3rd for a team that should be used to playing against a defense packing it in on them. Really enjoyable game despite the 0-0 result (well, unless you're a big Spain fan).
