2026 World Cup thread

Over 100 matches. I'll guess three goals a game on average, so 302.

Go watch midseason baseball. It’s fine. But I’ll watch every damn WC match I possibly can.

Relatedly, I’ve gotten the OK to look at a trip to Euro 2028.

Meh, never watch baseball. I am eagerly awaiting the start of the EPL season, the true football that is of interest to me. I am just not a fan of international matches, what can I say.

I googled the answer and this is a helluva guess. You’d definitely be playing Plinko after that

It was 308, an average of 2.96 per game.

Good read from Tutul Rahman here. Of course, like anything that reflects positively on MLS, people are falling over themselves in the replies to come up with some other metric that shows this doesn't count, only for Tutul to go "it's in the article, and it doesn't change the result".

Nice progress, but MLS has a looooong way to go. That step from No. 6 to the top five is quite a doozy.
