Scotland win first match " FIFA World Cup 2026 "

FIFA ain't fooling anyone. These hydration breaks are Purley for the Yanks to have adverts and make it look like 4 quarters.

I get what you're saying as it was my first thought as well but it's 86f (30c) there at the moment & I'd like to see you run around for 45 minutes without a break. It's 95f at the moment where I am and I can assure you I'm not walking to the mail box 50 yards away & back until the sun has gone to bed.

But as they're doing it in all the games & it's 3 minutes exactly at the same time every game I can certainly see being skeptical about them.

Wow, Qatar equalise in the 95th minute.

Switzerland have themselves to blame, had loads of chances but didn't take them.

FT: Qatar 1-1 Switzerland

A first ever World Cup point for Qatar.

First of the big hitters up next, as Brazil play Morocco at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey at 11pm.

It certainly is convieniant for a country that likes 4 quarters and adverts in their sport

Morocco deservedly 1-0 up against Brazil.

Saibari with the goal.

I didn’t realize Morocco were only 1place below Brazil in the world rankings. Game on.

I didn't know that either. Morocco look a good team so far, Brazil don't right now.

1-1.

Brilliant goal by Vinicius Junior.

FT: Brazil 1-1 Morocco

Second half never really got going after a good first half

I would concur.

Scotland 1-0 up just before half time.

FT: Haiti 0-1 Scotland

Not a comfortable night for Scotland, but they start with a big win. Haiti played well to be fair.

Puts them top of their group after the first round of fixtures in that group, after Brazil and Morocco drew earlier.

Australia play League One 5 4 1 and beat Turkey 2 0 . No wonder Popavic ignored Alex Robertson, he doesn't use ballers.
They will probably beat the USA using these tactics too .
The Lincoln City of the World Cup.
