FIFA WC 26 - Other Nations LIVE Match Thread ⚽

yeah could be nothing for some of the players but friends seem to care a lot (though no where near as much as winning)

bbc commentators seemed to not care much by contrast

Germany used the game as a celebration in 06 and turned it on.

They'd still be having a World Cup qualification campaign though so players can get valuable match minutes and it would contribute towards FIFA rankings.

What ? Did you not hear the man's brilliant idea. He said they'd already qualified for the next one after this match. Playing a "qualifying' match is the very idea of redundancy.

Even if they qualify automatically they would still play a qualifying campaign which would essentially serve the same purpose as pre-tournament friendlies.

Four changes for France at the half. Lucas Digne, Dayot Upamecano, Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola come on for Theo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konate, Rayan Cherki and Desire Doue respectively.

I don't think it has ever happened that a host or pre qualified nation has taken part in the qualification match stage.

These aren't exactly improvements!

It's going to be 5-4.

Kylian Mbappe scores in the 48th minute for France to pull a goal back for them and make the score 4-1. Michael Olise with the assist.

England's rugby won in Argentina. Rugby crowds are generally fair but apparently Argentina were feral tonight.

Reckon the two teams have agreed on 4:4 and split the halves.

Qatar took part in World Cup qualifiers for the 2022 cycle but having said that the first two rounds also doubled as qualifying for the 2023 Asian Cup.

Surely Ousmane Dembele would be an improvement to the France playing list though.

 

[erogenouszone]

Their clubs would be disappointed that they're on.

2-4

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Bradley Barcola scores in the 54th minute for France to make the score 4-2. Kylian Mbappe with the assist to add to his goal today.

OH MY WORD, IS THE COMEBACK ON????!!!!

OH MY WORD, IS THE COMEBACK ON????!!!!

I don't see why France can't come back from 4-0 down at the half to get the job done especially since other sides have done so successfully in the past.

 

[erogenouszone]

3-4
