FIFA World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico (Part 2)

Suzy, who I met 21 years ago and spent a fair bit of time with back in those days, she was originally from Ghana. I must support her, I suppose.

I would forgive the universe if Ghana created some cool drama. But as long as it is drama, I don’t really care who wins if I am honesty (I loved watching Portugal bash the Uzbehks today, and was extremely pleasantly surprised by Ronaldo the Elder and more)

Just give us lots of drama. Doesn’t matter how (ok, no serious injuries). Make someone happy, Ghanians or you English hopeful “coming home” peeps. But drama.

Haha, first ! Whoever you were who was writing, I had copy pasted my stuff, you fool ! :stuck_out_tongue:

Rice thought he was Steven Gerrard at St. James’ Park.

You don’t have that in you Declan.

Was hoping Ghana might be more ambitious.

This ain’t real exciting. Maybe England need to score to change the dynamic.

Or a Ghana deadball that results in a goal. That could also lead to something interesting.

For now, I must say that Ghana plays with what looks to be wisdom (which again can lead to so-so interesting play in midfield).

As in the Croatia game, everything is going down the England right.

Having said that they’re on the left now! England look like us under Slot ponderously trying to deal with a low block.

It’s it only goalie injury that players are not allowed to go to the bench? This is BS that both teams headed over to get instructions.

Don’t worry they’ll now kick off again just to stop for the official hydration break :sweat_smile:

The concussion protocol looks like a joke in this WC.

The hydration breaks are pushing me more towards not bothering watching the games anymore. I can just check the score later.

Now this is the England I’ve come to know and expect! Huffing and puffing, and blowing no one’s house down. Yet.

This needs a spark of some sort. A goal perhaps. That might be an idea.

Do you ever find situations where you brain just stays locked in one time and place as the world continues? My seeing Ayew up front and thinking “I wonder what young Asamoah Gyan is up to and why he isn’t playing?” Well the answer is he’s my ducking age and hasn’t played for Ghana for 7 years

I hope they’ve moved on from asking who the current prime minister is as part of the concussion checks, this tournament is so long it could change two or three times since they joined the training camp

This ref is shite. No control over the match and situation on the earlier players head injury.
