Saager is having a lot of fun with his I Told You So moment on Qatar. I was ready for it.

But hey, 2026 is gonna be…somethin.

2026 is the SpiralStairs World Cup

Canada
US
Mexico

48 teams, 16 groups of 3, top 2 in the group advance to the knockouts. As a host the US goes into Pot A so their group will be something like the US, Mali, and New Zealand.

If the Olympics were more corrupt they'd have already taken place in Qatar. The IOC wish they could have received the bribes FIFA did. As part of the bid Qatar said they could still hold it in the summer in 130 degree heat because they had the technology to make artificial clouds and would be able to air condition open air stadiums. FIFA was like, "sounds legit," and took the money. Sure, China totally lied about their snow making capabilities for the last Winter Olympics, but they still had snow.

I'm watching, every big sport is a different kind of cesspool. Sucks for free speech but I enjoy Qatar showing their asses while making FIFA look like shit at the same time. I could have told you the minute they were awarded the WC they wouldn't sell beer, no matter what they agreed to. The Crown Prince of Qatar, or who ever the royal in charge is, is completely gay. Before he took the throne he had a huge party yacht they'd take out into the Gulf with a bunch of dudes in the morning, fish all day and fuck all night.

Pretty entertaining game between Canada and Belgium. The Canadians gave Belgium fits the whole first half, can Canada go 90 minutes at that pace?

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

It’s been a fun game but Canada looks gassed now.

too bad non-athletic cameroon lost to non-athletic switzerland. came back with an easy under uruguay x s. korea.

looks like more money coming in portugal, ghana up to +800. i'm making a play on ghana, $200 to win $1.6k. hoping that dissension has set in on a portugal side that is run by the club-less ronaldo. also like brazil at slightly more than 2-1 over serbia. making a $300 play here.

oh well, took a ronaldo dive for the match to unravel into a semi-exciting finish. ghana just too sloppy and casual with passes and touches in dangerous areas. lose possession and a totally unorganized defense. don't expect derek rae and the woman commentator to call out individual players, but the portugese centerback make a huge error on ghana's first goal, while ghana's baba with a pathetic attempt to defend on felix goal - the back-breaker.

let's see what brazil can do against serbia. i expect rough play, a few yellows.

sad mismatch, too many spots awarded to concacaf. 8 years ago, navas and campbell were hot commodities, today, landon donovan is making fun of both - enough said. bankroll getting close to $2k, not so high on belgium now a days, but friendly odds will compel a big play.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

You put 2k on Spain at -700? Not much reward for the risk.

God bless you on Belgium. They were awful.. Martinez needs to replace some of those over the hill players he started against Canada.

I'm not th

Portugal's biggest problem is their defense. Both goals were soft and their goalkeeper is average. They have an embarrassment of riches up front. Leao would probably start for every team in the World Cup outside of Brazil. Shop around for a good nimber but I like the over 3.5 total goals in the Brazil Serbia match. Insane talent on Brazil. Jesus, Martinelli, Antony, and others not starting.
