Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Somniloquism]

Belgium being slaughtered at the moment, in all but scoreline.

[BoVillan esq]

Mexico will be much more positive than the last 3 teams we have played which will suit

Bang on, we haven't played anybody yet, that said, why are England so freaking boring to watch absolute turgid football for two thirds the game, first team we meet that wants to actually attack us we are done for and as stellar a performance that Congo offered up in the first 45 they had no intention of laying a glove on us in the 2nd half, Mexico will be a very stiff test.

Apparently,  Belguim have changed kit because when teams play in red and green it is difficult for the colour blind to differentiate.

Yeah, it causes problems when Cork play Limerick at hurling.

Trossard looks like he's just burst into a log cabin, frozen and near to death, as he escapes from a ferocious blizzard.

Or is playing the ghost in some sort of Victorian christmas drama.

No one watches that though so they're fine.

Matterface gets an E- for geography.  Apparently Seattle is about as far north and as close to the Pacific you can get to in the US, if, of course, you completely forget about Alaska.

He was probably referring to the Conterminous U.S.

He definitely looks like he’s had frostbite of the eyes somehow.

Trossard looked about 29 3 years ago now he looks older than Noah

Belgium are a bit like England. Loads of very good players, but as a team, always sort of 'not quite there'.

[PeterWithesShin]

KDB is right, they aren't the same players they were 9 years ago. Lukaku is twice the player he used to be.

Are we sure he didn’t just eat one of the smaller ones?

[Percy McCarthy]

Rooney analysis...priceless.

On the plus side I think that Joe Hart has been good.  Considered, articulate and explains things with clarity.

He usually is, I think he's a really good pundit.

Yep. It’s so stark when he’s on with Rooney & Richards.

[Dogtanian]

It’s there!

Senegoal.

[Villa in Denmark]

Goal for Senegal.
