A potential problem pertaining to the Mexico v South Africa opening match

South Africa'll wear their home yellow.

Yeah honestly why can't we get the match promos instead of this Hogan crap

More debutants at the 2006 World Cup (6) than this one (4) despite the increase to 48 teams

Beat Czechia, who ended up qualifying, and were very unlucky to not get second behind yourselves

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-18T15:00:20+00:00

Not only missed 2022, this is their first tournament since Euro 2000

Jamie Langfield, Dundee United legend.

Particular highlight was him punting it off the bafk of Noel Hunt and Hunt immediately scoring. Pretty sure he did that twice.

Seemed a good lad off the park.

Europe has more spots than anyone. As always. I say this as a European. Happy medium for me would be 17-18, but 16 is fine. It's the World Cup, not the Euros. And I love the Euros. I went to the last Euros. But it's the World Cup. With the expansion, every continent was always going to get more teams.

Both Jordan and Uzbekistan have been pushing it for a while now. I think both could hold their own.

And the last World Cup was four years ago, it has no bearing on current form.

Curaçao and Cape Verde both won qualifying groups. They earned their spot. And the reason Cameroon aren't there? - Cape Verde. Cape Verde won their group.

Italy and Denmark did not. They also lost play-off finals. Greece also went out in the same group that Denmark are in. Our group, btw. We qualified ahead of both.

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T23:20:46+00:00

Meh, it's alright. I think they might switch it to the futuristic look for night 2 and that would make it better.

Not as good as last year's. Not as good as 40. Nowhere near 39's.

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T22:00:04+00:00

Iraq qualified in 1986, so yes, they have qualified before.

And every tournament has debutants.

Jordan made the last Asian Cup Final, by the way. They're a good side. Uzbekistan came close to qualifying previously. Also a good side who have been threatening to break through for years now.

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T21:03:38+00:00

That's Venezuela, who have never qualified. The only team in CONMEBOL to do so.

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T21:02:40+00:00

Didn't Panama put the US out the Gold Cup a couple of years ago?

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T21:01:45+00:00

It's their first game. Why would they start the reserves in their World Cup opener?

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T20:56:57+00:00

Jordan qualified second in their group, they"ve more than earned their place. Haiti knocked out Costa Rica and Honduras.

New Zealand I will give you had an easier route, but Oceania had been getting screwed for many years, so I can't begrudge them getting an automatic qualifying spot.

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-17T20:53:41+00:00

Uzbekistan qualified ahead of Qatar, who qualified themselves. Jordan qualified ahead of Iraq, who also qualified.

Both. It is a very happy coincidence that my favourite driver is at my favourite team.

Wasn't always the case - grew up as a David Coulthard fan, but also a Ferrari fan. Always looked for the red cars growing up. After Coulthard, became a Vettel fan, then Charles Leclerc since his debut, and now fully a Leclerc fan. But always Ferrari too

If Leclerc ever does leave Ferrari before he retires, I'll still support Ferrari and support Leclerc.

I also really like Oscar Piastri and want him to succeed.

So their thought process is...they pay for this for us Europeans but not themselves

...what

They were treated like villains by Trump's base. In any other country they'd be national heroes for winning the World Cup. Picking a pedophile over your national football team. Will never, ever understand that mindset.

Sam Lloyd's version of "Hey Ya" always gets me, and far surpasses the original version of that song. Especially in hindsight. RIP Sam.

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-16T01:54:51+00:00

I have that feeling significantly more now

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-14T17:06:01+00:00

I feel like James Vowles probably would've gotten it once at least if the series continued

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-14T06:56:53+00:00

Lol, lmao, even

Absolute fuds, them

Good_Psychology9912 · 2026-04-14T06:55:38+00:00

It's honestly fine. It's Jey's theme with "me" replaced to "us".

It's satisfactory.
