FIFA World Cup 2026

Insomnia meant I got to watch large parts of the Argentina v Egypt game....amazing. A couple of beautiful goals from Egypt, especially the second on the break, and they managed to stop everything Argentina threw at them, including a penalty and then over 11 minutes Argentina did Argentina things...the beautiful game can be cruel.

Columbia out on penalties, I hope that doesn't mean some poor bugger gets shot.

Interesting 3 part podcast about the 1994 Colombia ‘journey’, culminates in what actually happened for Andrés Escobar to get shot. To save everyone time, he got involved in an argument outside a nightclub after someone gave him **** about the own goal and the other guy shot him (as you do).

The ‘It Was What It Was’ podcast series is great listening for anyone interested in knowing more about events from football’s history. Incredibly well researched and well told by Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper, two UK based football journalists.
 
France definitely seem like the best team at the moment. Able to score goals.

Spain and Belgium look a bit lacklustre. Think Spain would eat up a lot of possession and limit France ability to attack, but as we have seen, they only need half a Chance with Mbappe on fire.


On the other side, Norway V England will be a cracker. Argentina look destined to meet the winner.

Norway will play full of heart. Think the memo will be out to shut down Haaland. We’ve seen his capabilities.

If England fire, I can see them doing really well. But usually they bomb out as soon as there’s any expectations.

Argentina have Messi.
