Re: World Cup 2026

After the negative way Clarke has approached things in our last 2 tournaments I'm not going to get too optimistic about this one.
We could get badly embarrassed again by Morocco especially and that's after needing to beat......Haiti...... a must win game to start off. OK.
On the plus side we won't have to watch Callum McGregor jogging alongside opponents instead of tackling them. And if Ben Gannon Doak gets fit we have a chance. On the negative side we struggle at right back and central defence, not like that's important and Clarke's new defensive midfield favourite Ferguson looks well over hyped.

Here's my mini poll
How many goals will Adams and Dykes score between them

I'll start. 0

Signed, Norman.

Re: World Cup 2026

Our goals, if they come, will be from McGinn or McTominay.

Shankland is the most natural goalscorer we have and he won't get a sniff because he doesn't run about a lot.

Take yer balls out your Wife's purse Stevie, set up to run over the top of Haiti, a win there and you're almost out the group, then you can play your favoured defend the Alamo tactics in the other two games trying to spawn a point and prey the 2-0 we get v Haiti is enough.


"Don't F*cking ever offer me that again!"

France to win it for me.  I think we'll get pumped by both Brazil and Morocco unfortunately.

They did, they offered nothing and it was like a borefest training game attack v defence.
In the Engerland ITV studio all that was missing was a rerun of Captain Tom and a Spitfire fly past as they reminisced about 1966.

Surely Canada/Bosnia will be better tonight.

Final score Canada 1-1 Bosnia

A high energy physical contest full of niggly blatant fouls stoppages and surprisingly low on quality. A bit like watching Watford against Barnsley.
Meh. I'm not staying up for the late games that don't involve us.

Bring on Scotland ....

But Brazil v Morocco could be good too.

Loving the fact that the teams are walking out to 'Sirius' by one of Britain's most criminally underrated bands 'The Alan Parsons Project'


Would love Utd to walk out to this every match like the Chicago Bulls used to.

I know Ronny has played it in the past on occassion.

Re: World Cup 2026

2 months ago I would've fancied Japan to get to the quarters or maybe sneak the semis but injuries might be the beating of them. Mitoma is a huge miss.


It's not where you're from it's where you're at.

Re: World Cup 2026

Think we will get a win, a draw and a defeat. Through to next round.

France to win. Depending on draw Spain in final.

Thought Japan looked very decent against Scotland and especially England in their warm up games. They'll be a handful for any opponent.
