2026 World Cup starts today

It seemed like an average game, but they had to play 120 minutes plus the overtime minutes.
The last 2 goals were pretty awesome though, especially the their #2 goal. That was a killer shot, what a curve ball!

[Coach]

Spain v France right now…

[Coach]

Spain winner 2-0.

[Coach]

Final is set. Spain v Argentina

For me this will be an easy choice to root for. My DIL’s family is from Argentina, both her older sisters were born there but my DIL was born in the states after they immigrated to the US. Her father passed away recently but was an avid soccer fan. When Argentina won several years ago she told me he was so happy he had tears. A win Sunday will be a nice tribute to him and his memory. He was a great guy.

[Ted124]

My money is on Spain. I haven't seen Spain playing and there is a slight edge that Argentina continues to show.
I am gambling on a wildcard, that's what makes it fun.

[Ted124]

Quite a game, England 3. Place!

[Coach]

That was a fun game to watch in the end.

6-4 final.

[Ted124]

Spain is World Champion.

Quite a game. One goal in the 106th minutes. Not for the faint-hearted.
I took a short cut, I got in around the 87th minute with the good feeling that I had not missed anything.

[Coach]

Congratulations to Spain. They deserve the trophy. Argentina finally got exposed with 0 shots on goal.

Next year is the USWNT World Cup run…

[Hatchdog]

Congrats to Spain. I will say as a non soccer fan I was super impressed with the saves by the Argentinian goalie. All that with a broken finger. Well done both teams.

I am glad it is over. All that drama! You know, it is not like the Super Bowl. Give me a 38 to 40 shoot out any day.
