World Cup 2026 Thread

Are you surprised at the odds for England?

Yes, a dream final. Even better, for the USA's 250th Birthday!

The odds are spot on I would agree with them.

Even the most die hard fan would agree we have been underwhelming in the group games. I get the feeling we will play better against the favourites.

France and Argentina are justifiably the clear favourites. But anyone can lose on penalties from here on. Who's going to be the first upset?

And the answer
GERMANY
who lose on penalties for the first time in a World Cup having won their previous four shootouts.

I bet it's a pretty wild night in Paraguay!

Hmmm. Wonder if there is a Paraguayan bar in Seattle I could stumble into tonight.
