Oops, sorry, I thought this was the Wordle cup thread.

As long as the Scottish fans don't riot after losing then that is about as much as I'll be concerned about it. The other day I realised I couldn't actually name a single international player, whereas in previous world cups, I've at least known of the very top players and what country they play for. This time around I got nothing.

Best of luck to all the teams still in the competition.

Good for Ecuador. I'll almost always root for the smaller country.

I just read on X that the Uruguayan Government canceled the team's chartered plane and the team will now fly home on a commercial airliner. ✈️😳😳

I heard that's Scotland out of the contest. It looked like it was fun while it lasted. I don't know if any of the other home nations beyond England are still in, although if they are based on their results so far I can't see them going on to win it. Letting in two goals in the first game, and then drawing in their second makes me think they just aren't good enough.

I've not heard anything about what nations are looking strong and are in the favourites pool. I'd imagine its the usual suspects though and it will come down to a European or South American team. I've agreed to support a friends national team since Scotland is out, although since I only know them online and I don't know what country they are actually from I do not know who I am actually giving my fairly tepid at best support to.

England is actually tied for 3rd best odds to win it all. France is the favorite.

England don't win world cups (except when it's held in England) :teddyr:

it's 30 years since this song was released to mark 30 years since England won it (if that makes sense)
