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

[Tom McAndrew]

The guy that scored this got away with a shove in the back of the Senegal defender. I guess VAR didn’t think it warranted a check by the ref.

Respect. Belgium is done, 75’. Only Doku has shown any sign of life. Shucks. Not surprised, though.

Told you.

 

[BobPSU92]

Attaboy.

Again and again Belgium passes to nobody wearing white. Just a bad performance for Belgium.

This didn't age well. What a comeback for Belgium!

I always root for these sub Saharan African teams when they play one of these European countries unless it’s against Italy and Germany, but they just never can close the deal and often lose in ridiculous fashion.

Three North American teams in the Final 16. What were the odds of that?? Or maybe it was much more likely than it seems.

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Wish we were playing Belgium in a hotter climate.

"just did"?

Did you flunk out of school around the 4th grade?

Spain 5-0 Austria in corners at 34’. Yamal is really something.

Oh my god, this second goal, just now at 66’, that’s why I dig soccer. Wow, just wow, just brilliant. Dang.

Österreich had no answers for España. Dominating performance.

Austria showed some creativity inside the 18-yard box but never really threatened to score.

a nice piece. it's unfortunate that one of them will suffer the end of their 2026 World Cup run today.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Wow, Croatia breaks through in the 53rd minute, to go up 1-0

 

[KingLando]

The disallowed goal was one of the easiest calls of the tournament--Croatia is looking like a different team in the second half

 

[Tom McAndrew]

this game has gotten a little more intense in the last few minutes.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

After VAR review on a corner, a PK is awarded, and Ronaldo scores, to make it 1-1

Great game here. Croatia came to play in the 2nd half.

 

[BobPSU92]

Wow! Portugal!
