FIFA World Cup 2026 - Discussion Thread

Just to be clear, this is only an option on a pay-TV channel in Germany. Of course, you can also watch the games the “regular” way.

The World Championship feels like modern-day PC and video games.

Over-commercialised
Daily challenges (one game every day)
Pay-to-win
Tiresome

I propose a new rule; if you're fouled, but then kick the floor with both feet to make yourself fall over and scream, the foul is cancelled out.

Otherwise, this diving epidemic is going to continue ruining the game. Absolutely horrendous dive there by Nmecha for Germany just before half time - and against Curacao (not Brazil, not Spain, Curacao), who they were already beating.

Shameful, and all I see from journalists is "clear penalty". That may be true, but it's followed by "clear cheating", and nobody talks about that any more.

Anyone see the Netherlands' kit color too much saturated on his screen?

Yeah, they're a blur for us on ITV. But we don't get a 4K option (only 1080p) if ITV show the game (rather than BBC) - other parts of the world that can get a 4K version may be okay.

Actually Im watching the game on BeInsports, and even during the friendly game vs Algeria two weeks ago I noticed that the color is saturated on TV

The Netherland kit reminds me of PES 20 shitty colours

Japan Netherlands probably a fair result. Japan are no mugs that's for sure.
