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

[Somniloquism]

Only Rice to hold the midfield. 
TT is such a prune.

Yep, Spain stopped France's midfield attacking by flooding it. Tuchel has decided 5 up front is the perfect answer to his "negativity". I suspect if England start fast they might get a chance or two, but as soon as the French front four get it...

Ivan fucking Toney ?

Tuchel is a c unt.

He has done it because he is petty and petulant.

Prediction:

England win - nobody cares about the third place playoff.

England lose - further irrefutable evidence that Tuchel must be sacked.

That's the French kit.

Well done Danny Murphy, never thought I would say that.
Telling it how it is.

It's absolutely insane how the whole culture of a second-tier nation loses its shit about the same thing every single time. Which are the other countries to have won a single one-off tournament: Denmark, Greece, England? Is that it?

Cool your jets, lads. Denmark, Greece, England. They're doing way better than they ought to be.

I imagine there will have been some interesting conversations between Ollie, Ezri and Morgan.

Don't forget Czechoslovakia and CR7's Portugal.

I included Portugal but they've won the Nations League, too. Depends whether you count that.

Adding other continental competitons, they are on a par with: Colombia, Bolivia, Canada, Israel, Kuwait, Iraq, Senegal, Zambia, Tunisia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Republic of Congo and Tahiti.

Edit: forgot Czechoslovakia and USSR.

Absolutely (including BV's too), they're way outstripping the competition. It's actually remarkable.

[cdbearsfan]

Senegal might go back ahead, appeal-pending.

[Stu]

I don’t know right but I think there might be some sort of Jacobite wind up going on here

[Sexual Ealing]

I hope you're not calling me a Jacobite.
