[Uuaww]

[DRWebs]

Damn near impossible to catch a lot of the matches due to the time zone difference

[shel311]

No clue where to even find these games.

Spain
Uruguay


Who really cares after that

[DRWebs]

Fireworks already in what is probably the biggest group stage match of them all

[nick]

Belgium and England are playing?

[DRWebs]

We'd be let down if those two underachievers were

[DRWebs]

Wow wow wow!

[DRWebs]

Hard to top that one right there

How did the ticket selection process go Ted?

[nick]

The US, Canada, and Mexico will jointly host the World Cup in 2026.

Spain fired their manager the day before the World Cup begins.

he took over the Real Madrid job and you can't manage both anymore. pretty lame but.

i loved Spain - Portugal +240 Draw. wonder what it is now.

$$$$$$$$

Iceland/Argentina game is amazing. Thought the match was over on that penalty kick, great save! I don't see how Iceland can win though when they have played 90% of the match with their heels in their own box.

[GeorgesGoons]

I'm heading to Russia as we speak (spending a few days in Austria). 4th Cup for me. Going to 5 matches.
Argentina v Iceland

Ted is being treated to a good match
