FIFA World Cup 2026

[_Arabia_]

KSA is going to suffer a crushing defeat against Spain. Could be 10-15-0, I am afraid.

Spain was/is the tournament favorite among the bookmakers and the reigning European champions. They are frustrated after the 0-0 draw against Cape Verde where they had 30 + shots on goals and 85-90% possession or whatever they had.

Yamal is back and desperate to prove himself in his first World Cup and Nico Williams is also ready now. They will be fired up to secure a big win.

Zero expectations for the game with this current lot and that unknown manager.

Don't see the team being capable of another result like defeating Argentina (later World Cup champions - their only defeat in that World Cup tournament) back in Qatar in 2022.

The team will have to go all in against Cape Verde in the last game to qualify from the group stage as the team did back in 1994 when the World Cup was last played in the US.

yeah I am one of them. The standalone Fox One app for $20 per month is the cheapest option I found to watch all the games. Broadcast TV hasn't had all the games yet though I believe they will probably have all the games once the Quarterfinals stage has been reached.

Seeing all the videos of foreigners having a great time in the US is awesome!

Australia is not an easy opponent. They defeated Turkiye 2-0 who are not a bad team by any stretch of the imagination.

KSA almost always play against Australia in the qualifiers and we always tend to have close games (wins, draws or loses). They are a physical team who play really pragmatic football and they use to defend their own penalty box quite well and they tend to sit deep and play on the counter. Very dangerous on set pieces as well.

However the US are stronger on paper and home advantage is a huge thing in football.

I expect a US win but you never know in this World Cup so far. Nobody expected Spain of all teams to draw with freaking Cape Verde who seem to be a very hard nut to crack.

Some idiot lost 1 million dollars because he made a bet for Spain to win. He would only have won 80.000 USD (odds 1.08). Some people are just too stupid.

what do you think are the US team's chances ? The Australian team looked pretty good but they don't have a sterling reputation in football.

if only both Egypt and Iran win this round and later they face and they both get a draw would be awesome, both gonna qualify i guess.

Egypt team to me seems good on paper but out of form. Iran's team is simply aged and weak. I doubt both make it past the Round of 32.

True , our team isn't anywhere good.
even the so called (stars) are not that good , like salah or marmoush or whatever.

but I'd like to see Egypt and Iran knock out NZ and Belgium just for the fun

sure. Hey I would be happy for Egypt to win the World Cup ! Mo Salah will become global superstar like Ronaldo and Messi.
