    The Official World Cup Thread

    START YOUR ENGINES!!!







    Poor Mexico...their first game is against the world champs, Germany...


    Too bad the USA didn’t qualify...but they will host (along with Canada and Mexico) in 2026.

    Excited to see this big celebration start!

    Too bad with so many countries in it I believe it's going to take some time for the good matches to arrive. I will definitely miss seeing Italy or the Netherlands in the competition but still an interesting thing to watch. Also, without my country in, I'm rooting for Argentina and Uruguay this time, and I think it would very be nice to also see Peru playing some good soccer in this Worldcup.

          YES! Watching the kids play against the Lewandowski squad in such a gorgeous stadium was nice. Could have turned better for us if we have had the big names in the spine of the team (Medel, Vidal, and Alexis). But it was a good match. I believe Poland will go through the group stages and hopefully further. For us instead it's been traumatic not being able to get in the tournament!

          And YES Spain against Portugal is going to be spectacular. Not that the Cristiano squad is too big, but the man can do one trick and bam! Also, with the fired manager is going to be a total surprise to see what Spain can do tomorrow!

          By the way, check your PMs Alex.

            It's going to be weird not seeing the United States in this tournament, Italy to for that matter, quite shocked they didn't qualify. Germany and Brazil are probably the odds on favorite.

              Perennial contender Netherlands failed to qualify as well.

              As Mongoose said, neither did Copa America champion Chile.

                  Anyone see Morocco in a dead tie 0-0 with Iran with time coming to a close and then scored a goal against themselves? Wow

                          First half...Mexico counter-attacked beautifully. Second half, they anchored down on defense...and held on.

                          I was so nervous the last 20 minutes or so...it was almost too much to bear, lol...

                            I don't follow soccer, but I always appreciate a good David vs. Goliath outcome. Congrats to Mexico.

                            You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.
