FIFA World Cup 2026 USA

[jamesedwards]

Before the World Cup started I had a little flutter on six outsider teams I thought might be of value.

Brazil
USA
Norway
Mexico
Belgium
Sweden.

Somehow, despite all six teams still being in the tournament, my cash out figure is negative.

5 out of 6 of my outsider bets are through to the last 16.

But even excluding the lost stake from Sweden, I'm STILL in the red for the remaining teams.

How is this possible?

There goes my Mexico bet

Good game that, loads of talking points and action.

Amazing game. England had everything against them and they pulled it off. Even two extremely negative VAR decisions.

Great performance.

Hi All,
Nearly traded out yesterday before the Eng/Mex match ,but decided to see it through (as a lay) to the finals .Eng are fav for the Norway match,but I can't see why ,could be a good in play match.Belgium should see the US off with a score 7-0 or is that just wishful thinking

Will give POTUS a call today about getting that red card overturned.

Tough Match yesterday but England stepped up , well done England bring on Norway

Ahead of the US men’s national team’s last-16 match against Belgium, Donald Trump had put in a series of phone calls to Gianni Infantino, as the US Soccer Federation sought ways to suspend the one-match ban issued to US striker Folarin Balogun.

And it seems that's the one match ban will now be served after the WC.

If Balogun doesn't rule himself out for the Belgium game, then Belgium need to give him a good kicking. This is exactly the sort of BS everyone expected from Trump and his circus and sure enough here it comes.

Although obscenely arrogant, what I do like about Trump is that he's a properly partisan leader. We could do with a bit more of that over here instead of constantly apologising for everything.

It's not Trump or Balogun's fault that FIFA are weak enough to acquiesce to his request.

FIFA are a disgrace.

FIFA are a disgrace.

Could it be the beginning of the end?

Although obscenely arrogant, what I do like about Trump is that he's a properly partisan leader.

There's nothing to like about Trump, strong leaders with conviction are fine, but if you follow US politics you'll see it's underpinned by criminality, theft and rigging the judiciary. And anyone who threatens a NATO member while alledgely being in NATO is a piece of shit..... And then blatantly ignoring the SC instructions to release the Epstein files, with the assistance of Noam and Patel. Ditto supporting openly fascist organisations with his buddy Hegseth. It's like saying "what I do like about Jimmy Savelle is his commitment to flashy tracksuits"
