First two players I searched for, Cherki and Nico, not there. Fuck that.

Edit:- Nevermind, found them. What a fucking awkward UI that is. Anyway here's my team.

Bit of an ad hoc team there. Not sure where you got them from. Never win anything.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Just checked, should have done that before asking really :-)

Mexico 86
US 94

Both get it again in 2026

No issue with been in Mexico.
They love football
Americans aren't interested in it.

Midfield is absolutely shite. Don't know what I'm thinking!

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Organised a sweepstake at work. Small office, so you could pick one to four teams. I was one of the last to pick. First pick, Argentina. Shit, everyone's going to think I've rigged this. Second pick, France. Fuck. Third pick, Portugal. Fourth pick, Ghana. Ridiculous.

Mexico 1970.

I didn't include Mexico as it's central America ........ but yeah, that was quite a good competition there back in 86, or at least it was until a chap named Maradona stuck his hand out !

Mexico is in North America.

This will be the 2nd time of hosting for the US i think .... the other time they hosted was 1994.

Crazy that they've had it twice in a little over twenty years, whereas England haven't had it in 60 years. FIFA really don't like us, do they?

 

[pudge]

Anybody doing or seen any interesting bets for the tournament?

Just finished watching the 2026 programme made by makers of W1A and 2012. Good satirical take on the potential for the most politically “correct” and instagrammable World Cup yet. *shudders

I'm not sure I'd class 32 years as a little over 20 years but agree with your point. England or the UK has a ready made stadia infrastructure to host the world cup and its a joke it hasn't had it in 60 years.

Watched that last week. All felt far fetched until you got to the Truth social posts, where I couldn't decide if satirical or just reading out actual posts!

That's fine, we don't like them either.

My bad. I counted from 2004, not 1994. Fuck knows why; that wasn't even a world cup year.

I did Haaland top goal scorer at 20/1 a few weeks ago. Teams will allow him the space in behind the back and Norway play fully to his strengths especially with that **** from Arsenal behind him. Think Norway could do quite well tbh

O`Reilly 250 to 1 golden boot

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Seems Erikson has collapsed again playing for Denmark a few minutes ago.

edit: went down holding chest however, reports are he is now conscious.

 

[Longdarnit Blue]

Mexico is in North America.

I think trump has deported Mexico from North America and renamed the bit they’re in as the Gulf of Mexico as he has no use for that term now.

 

[dickie davies]

Neymar was one of my favorite players and definetly one of the best in the world at his prime.

He might have been one of the best footballers in his prime, but he never proved it

Took betfreds offer of bet £10 and get 50 in free bets, backed Brazil to win it and Scotland to finish bottom of their group at 7/1, because they're fucking shit.
