Seconded. Well, I'm in one with another forum. There's already a fantasy game on here, I dunno

I'm having more fun nosing at what people have picked, as I bet it would be obvious. Messi and his famous success at internationals!

What are we saying for Russia v Saudi Arabia, lads?

1:0?

0:1?

0:0?

Surely no other score is possible in this game.

[bgmnts]

3-2 Saudi Arabia.

Hey, the 2026 World Cup host country gets decided today! It's either USA, Canada and Mexico (which is going to win) or Morocco (which hasn't got a chance). 2026? Blimey, I'll be 39. I wonder if I'll have a job by then. Or if the human species will even still exist. Me getting a job or humanity dying out. Which will come first?

[notjosh]

I've got a fair bit of money riding on Russia losing to Saudi Arabia, scoring 0 points in their group and being the lowest scoring team in the tournament. Home advantage can do one.

I'd be behind you with this. But favourable refs (which isn't a dig at Russia before I get a pile-on, all host countries benefit from it) and especially VAR mean it is probably not happening. I don't know exactly where their points are coming from, but they will get some.

Nailed on as well

So,
Farewell then
Julen Lopetegui
You took a job
At Real Madrid
Causing you to get
Sacked just before
The World Cup.

Maybe this will hurt
Spain's chances
Or help them.
I dunno.
Seems about right
For Real Madrid
To act bigger than Spain,
Though.

World Cup 2026 will be in Canada, USA and Mexico.

That'll be shit, I reckon.

World Cup 2026 it is in Canada, the US and Mexico

[Captain Z]

World Cup 2030 will be jointly hosted by the Earth and the Moon.

[New Jack]

Typical conspiracy, the world always gets the World Cup.

Mars should host the off-world Cup

[Crabwalk]

It'll end up hosted by the USA and North Korea.

[colacentral]

2030 is hosted by the world's oceans.

[New Jack]

I want a world cup hosted in our hearts and minds, as the former needs some stimulation, and there's plenty of room in the latter

The pricing and the requirement to pick 10 teams with at least one from each group really limits any variety.

[DrGreggles]

A USA/Mexico/Canada World Cup sounds good to me.
Better than Morocco anyway, which mostly stinks of hot piss.

Justifies their move to a 128 tournament...other nations in the CONCACAF won't be so resentful at losing 2 extra slots.

[holyzombiejesus]

How are the TV companies going to cobble together a cliche filled theme tune and indents when there are 3 different host countries. What would they use to represent Canada anyway?

[greenman]

Seems less some grand stand against Real(who they happy bend to on most issues anyway) and more a bit of a tantrum to me.

[notjosh]

Just 24 hours to go till the Saudis do another 9/11 all over Russia's world cup dreams.
