Think we need a designated thread for general World Cup 2026 chat. There only seem to be the England and sweepstake ones so far.
Well that opening game got me nodding off nicely. VAR/the laws of the game the talking points as always. Well done FIFA. Not long before the highlights are just a reel of refereeing/VAR decisions.
When does the EFL start ?

Two yellow cards to Argentina not given |
I must have missed when the laws were changed to say Argentina are not allowed to receive any bookings.
At least 3 obvious bookings not given so far, two for MacAllister. |  | | |

We anre all experienced football viewers and watching this something doesn’t feel right.

What I’m feeling. This could be very interesting. |  |

Had to be. It’s still 1 from 4, so far. | | | |

Commentators saying ‘no one wants a red card’ (not in defence of Argentina) but this is why they’re getting away with it | | | |

I get an awful feeling that Argentina will weather the Spanish storm and nick a goal, somehow  . |  |

I think the Spanish fans wouldn’t mind an Argentinian red card!
Also, it’s just getting a bit silly with Argentina. They are dirty as sin. It’s all deliberate. It’s an important part of their tactics. You can’t just wave it off because “we don’t want a red card on the occasion). | | | |

I actually agree with Rooney. I think the ref was blowing up and giving the fouls but if he started brandishing cards then it ramps up the stop-start/gamesmanship and it effectively ends as a game of football. I think he's done OK (the ref) | | | |

There were three fouls in that first 'quarter' that are yellow cards every minute of every game on every day of every week in every football competition in the world in 2026. Two of them were Mac Allister. He booked nobody, and didn't even award a free kick for one of them. |  | | |

I though Mac Allister's tackle on Olmo was far worse than Quansah's |  |

If this goes on any longer, they'll need to do a recap.

Another regret about us not being there - our support would have ripped the 5hit out of that. | |

I’d rather listen to Rooney at half time than watch that shit. That’s how bad it is. |  | | |
