World Cup 2026 General WC Talk

[merciarsene]

is trossard the new Xhaka or is it Martinelli.

where AM keeps moaning about a player, and he keeps performing and so they moan even louder, and then the player gets worldwide acclaim and so they moan and yowl even louder

always fun to watch

Insane stat. How unlucky are the African teams ffs

 

[MartiSaka]

Think they are just planting the seeds to run the world cup from the middle east and US permanently - alternating between the US, Saudi, Qatar and the UAE.

In the 2002 World Cup (still a 32 team tournament, so harder to qualify for) by the quarter final stage, there was still 5 continents playing...

Europe...Germany, England, Spain, Turkey
South America...Brazil
North American...USA
Africa...Senegal
Asia...South Korea

...I know some big nations underperformed here and there was some dodgyness around South Korea and the refs...but you can say that for most tournaments.

That was pretty cool looking back, proper World.Cup that.

South Korea was honestly one of the worst runs of all time.

Genuine blight on the game that we got robbed of peak Italy, Argentina and France in the later rounds.

Huff and puff ball semi finals with South Korea, Germany and Turkey.

Yeah... France's was their own fault though, they just self imploded for no reason lol.

Holland not being there was annoying too, Roy Keane knocked them out and didn't even show up

Still having that many different teams stepping up was pretty cool, final got R9 his redemption at least too.

They were also unlucky as Zidane got injured right before the tournament irrc and they hit the woodwork like 10 times.

Btw, Jordan Henderson must be the only player to manage to get a yellow and get injured without playing..

after match against usa trossard produce 17 created chance , so he is number 1 now alongside with the goat messi

trossard pusing 32yo this year & he play alongside bum doku, washed kdb, washed lakaka but he still created something from nothing that is why he has very impressive stats in world cup so far

while manutd fanbase still make excuse to protect bruno
