Currently in 9th as it stands.

2-1! Every time the fella leaves the room…

[AV82EC]

This could have been about 4-3 already.

[Dogtanian]

This could have been about 4-3 already.

Senegal?

[Brazilian Villain]

Is there no hope for the Iraqis?

They're now 175/1 to win the game, and the draw is 40/1. It would appear hope is in short supply in Baghdad and Glasgow.

[Dogtanian]

I’ll stick with this then.

3-1 to the French.

[Clampy]

I've just popped on the Realoes and Maridans forum and they are just discussing what team Mbappe would fit into whens he's sold.

[adrenachrome]

Exhibition football.

Norway's reserves aren't up to much.

[AV82EC]

This could have been about 4-3 already.

Senegal?

No France Norway.

[AV82EC]

Olise is such a beautiful footballer. However when you’ve got Doue, Mbappe and Dembele in front of you….

64 teams would be shit

The United States could consider making a bid to host the men's 2038 World Cup, says the executive director of the White House's World Cup task force.

The US are co-hosting the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico, with the tournament having been expanded from 32 teams to 48.

Fifa is considering expanding the format even further to 64 teams as early as 2030.

"When you think that this World Cup may at some point expand out to 64 teams, I think the United States can handle it," said Andrew Giuliani.

"Let me make sure we get through this World Cup on 19 July before we make our pitch for 2038 or other ones."

The 2038 World Cup is the next one for which a bidding process will take place.
