Football The 2025-26 Football Thread

[SilverHood]

It was Norway's B team, so don't read too much into it. They rested their best players because they didn't care if they won group or finished second.

 

[Deebs]

I cannot lie I was very upset that Germany lost on penalties. Where the fuck were the clips of children crying when Germany lost? Fucking TV operators.

 

[Gray]

I had Germany and Holland in work sweepstake.

It was an emotional morning this morning to know I was wiped out in less than 6 hours.

 

[Scouse]

Ecuador!

England in the semi's. It's almost a guaranteed final.

 

[SilverHood]

Wooo, gooo Mexico. I'm proudly wearing my Mexico hat when I walk around. Get some funny looks. Not many 6ft4 Mexicans.

 

[Deebs]

Fucking hell what an embarrassment, someone get these cunts on a boat, fuck flying them home.

 

[Deebs]

Now get another one.....

 

[Deebs]

They only fucking heard me \o/

 

[SilverHood]

England versus Mexico! That altitude is a killer though. I was there in April and got winded just walking up the stairs.

 

[Deebs]

And goosebumps as I saw this several times

 

[Scouse]

Bob hope in Mexico.

Shite.

 

[Embattle]

If they are slow at normal altitude, then they will struggle in Mexico.

 

[Scouse]

They'll be boring either way. One thing England definitely brings to the party: me dozing on the settee.

 

[Raven]

In fairness, their keeper was insane, easily man of the match, he stopped at least 3 goals. If it was 5+.1 then everyone would be raving about England.

They were very nervy, that needs to go.

 

[Deebs]

Cor, watching Belgium vs Senegal on catchup so not at fulltime but 0-2 @ 56 minutes, fucking lol. Crazy.

Had to share that with my son, he could hardly breathe, 10/10

Had to share that with my son, he could hardly breathe, 10/10

Call me woke, but I don't think sharing a video like this to your son whilst he's having a medical emergency is clever.

 

[Scouse]

So, who's staying up tonight to have a mexican party?

 

[Embattle]

I will be...if I can make it.

 

[Gwadien]

I'll probably stay up to see Mexico score their first 3 goals..

 

[Scouse]

I've got some mariachi music lined up. And it gives me an excuse to drink all the god awful corona's I've got in the fridge.

Mad.

 

[Embattle]

FIFA

 

[Scouse]

In the first World Cup with ad breaks during each half (and ongoing VAR for additional ad breaks) we know football is complete shit.

 

[Tom]

If people start setting fireworks off I shall be very annoyed. I have to be up at 6.

Made funnier by the fact that Balogun is a birthright citizen.

 

[Scouse]

3 hours to kick off. I'm already tired, I was up at 5:30am.

Watching Michael. A bit of the Jackson Five should keep me awake. If the film's shit, at least the music will be good.

 

[Gwadien]

I reckon it's gonna be delayed anyway lols.

 

[Deebs]

Lovely Haaland.

Can't stop chuckling every time Bob gets the ball for Norway. Go on Bob.

And whenever I see Brasil on a shirt I think of vagisil.
