2026 FIFA World Cup

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

So justice prevailed then?

Good.

I doubt Trump cares about the results of the game. He just likes throwing his weight around.

The US team definitely has egg on their collective faces though. I was out all day so only watched the highlights but what a comedy of errors that was. It's just too bad they weren't eliminated by a shithole country.

Soccer returned to from the hype

World Cup losses
US 1 - Belgium 4
US 2 - Turkey 3

Leading into the World Cup against European opponents
June 6/26 US 1 - Germany 2
Mar 31/26, US 0 - Portugal 2
Mar 28/26, US 2 - Belgium 5

Maybe Paraguay, Bosnia and Australia weren't very tough competition.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

They're not.

The success was an illusion.

This Trumfantino move did the damage instead of an advantage. Like always.
Kind of sorry for the players of the US team.

USA was not good, they had an easy ride to get to the 16 and then they played a real team and was completely dominated. What their goalie did on the 3rd goal was unbelievable at this level to see that.

Egypt almost beat Argentina today, did not see the game but Argentina score 3 goals after the 80' minute mark. That would have been huge if Egypt was able to hold on to the win.
