SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

Brazil are definitely better than I initially thought they were, I'll hold my hands up and admit I was wrong there, but I still don't know if I see them as a genuine contender tbh.

 

My pick was Spain before it started, France look insanely good though. Spain are just getting the job done but sometimes that is enough.

 

France is so good that Desi Doue alone would be "the man" on most national teams. And he's like their 4th option. Yeah, its gonna take an upset to beat them.

 

So far there is France and a big gap between the rest.

For me England/Spain/Brazil/Argentina/Netherlands are the second tier and Portugal/Japan/Germany/Mexico third tier.

 

Even though i don't think Croatia or Ghana will do much in this tournament i will probably check out that game instead of England-Panama which should be a forgone conclusion and Panama sucks to watch. Red card incoming.

 

Lets be real and no offense to my English brothers on here -- England aint winning this shit.

I agree with your second tier otherwise. I'd rank England's chances along with Portugal, Japan, Germany.

Mexico is a dark horse. No, they have no chance to win it, but they're a threat to make a deep run.

A much better side than our overrated asses.

 

I think anybody in the third tier can beat sides in the second but the problem for them is they are going to have to face another one and another one and they won't pull that off.

 

Here's to hoping the power of The Duran can beat England today.

 

Mbappe not allowed to play in the elements but Harry Kane can

 

Aint no damn elements out here today. Light rain is all.

 

It's a tropical storm in New York New Jersey stadium from what I can see

 

Such a tropical storm that I just got done taking a walk.

 

I'm watching Ghana vs. Croatia at Tush Push stadium. Panama is already eliminated so I have no interest in that game.

Really just killing time in anticipation of Colombia vs Portugal.

 

You're in the clear but there's a permanent rain cloud over the jets stadium

 

"I guarantee" you're right.

 

Who's gonna get fucked up worse in the NY area today? Panama or Xander Zayas?

 

English players aren't used to that. They should ask for a postponement.

 

They can ask the ghost of James Gandolfini to sanction a hit on the whole Panama squad.

 

1 1/2 games now without scoring..

INQUEST

 

SACKING time!

 

Yep and if they score 5 it be be "why didn't they do that in the first half?"

 

He just saved his job! Why didn't Tuchel tell him to that earlier?

 

HOLD the sacking --- for now.

 

Total silence in my neighbourhood for the first goal..... Huge roar for the second. Nobody likes Bellingham. And this is a Fulham/Chelsea neighbourhood

 

Johnny used to wooooork on the docks
Union been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough
Soooooooo tooooouuggh

 

If Panama somehow score where will the roars come from?

 

Panamanian player goes down in the box like he was literally shot.

 

That's actually a valid question but won't be asked for the right reasons.

 

From the bar staff, presumably.

 

My bets are finally coming in. Ghana equalise.

 

If Ghana score again they coukd really throw a cat amongst the pigeons.
