World Cup 2026

[spen666]

Germany have 4 World Cups. Just because East Germany wasn't invited, doesn't make West Germany lesser than Germany.
Further - Germany have been in the final 8 times.

Brazil, Italy and Germany are the most successful countries with 13 titles and 12 second places between them.

In contrast England has 1 win, 2 semi finals and 8 quarter finals.
Brazil's form is astonishing - out of 22 world cups they have come in the top 4 for half of them, and won a quarter of them. They have only been eliminated in the round of 16 twice.

Germany won it in 2014

Germany were never successful prior to that

Germany have only won 1 World Cup - same as England

Ok if you say so, I don’t recall for sure, but, I think the banter and retort was before the re-unification. I am old 😂

The Western half of Germany would disagree with you.

Jeezo.

F*cking Wimbledon, eh?

Have at then @spen666

Ooh, the wannabe devil spawn are ganging up on me.

Diddums. Talk shyte and this is what you should expect. I thought you'd be used to it by now

And that will be the problem against Mexico.
Are England crap because of the altitude or are they just not the team we remember from 66?

Not sure the altitude is the problem, unless it has improved since I was last there, air pollution may be the issue.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the decision had anything to do with viewing figures. It is a FIFA decision after all.
Definitely iffy should the storms mysteriously disappear.

But can the pubs still stay open until 5am so they can make lots of money?

 

[Mr Celine]

The ever present Pickford doesn't help your defence.

I'm the same height as him, but he has the wingspan of a gnat (or as I put it to a similarly dark humoured friend, a thalidomide baby).

More to the point, can you outjump a 5'5" coke-addled midget?

 

[Pblakeney]

Has it been confirmed?

…yes.
No change. Ah well, silly o’clock or catch up it is.

Ssshh, don't tell leftie boy 😇

When England won it the Jules Rimet trophy was presented by Elizabeth the first.
