FIFA World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico (Part 1)

Isak getting more in the game

Yeah, he is starting to find the space.
He is putting a few nice passes. Too bad that Gyökeres and Yasin Ayari are not making the most of them.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood…
What a delight to watch

Yeah. Sweden havent done much as a team, but now they’re coming into the game a bit more you’re seeing how much more complete his game is than the penalty box finisher some tried to present him as based on last season’s struggles.

Have they made the dreaded bland statement about the next goal being vital yet? It’s always sets up a 2-0 win.

You mean the 2 goals lead is the most dangerous score?

Yeah a variation of that

Malen, you are rubbish! Couldn’t make up the mind on passing or shooting.

Has anyone noticed how many shots are going over from rather good positions.

That’s probably Sweden’s problem. They have one really good player, but the rest looks bang average. Isak can’t do everything on his own. He looks great to be fair.

Not as much as Turkey yesterday. They literally thought they were the bird flying and escaping Thanksgiving dinner.

Game on?

I thought Swede pulled one back. Offside? It was a nice header.

Offside isn’t it?

Shame because that cross from Nygren was out the top drawer.

And I thought it would be game on, especially pulling one back just before 1/2 time.

Still a chance with the freekick outside the box.

Decent game this. And all the Liverpool players are giving a good account of themselves.

LOL. I know a lot can still change, but this live bracket simulator from the BBC is showing a very lopsided draw

England are on course to have to go through Portugal, Spain, Brazil, then Argentina to make it to the Final. The US in contrast have a pretty open path to the Quarters

This Gakpo fella playing for Holland, he can’t be the same one who plays for us?

Very good half of football.

Ayari is a good little player. Verbruggen’s been a busy boy.
