The 2026 World Cup — Day 7 | OneFootball

The first week of the 2026 World Cup ends with the last of the 48 national sides getting started, including Portugal and England.

Jordan Pickford is expected to start in goal for the Three Lions, as he starts on a path that might just see him become only the second Everton player to win the World Cup.

They all are US time John

👍

Liam Mogan 4 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:02:15

Ronaldo doing his best impression of Brian Glover in Kes

Andrew Ellams 5 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:40:57

As always Liam. If he doesn't score I fear Danny Murphy might actually cry.

Andrew Ellams 6 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:43:06

Maduake starts for England. What is Tuchel on?

Liam Mogan 7 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:44:51

The grass?

Liam Mogan 8 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:45:17

Um Bongo

Darren Hind 9 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:45:22

DR Congo not settling for a draw.

A throw back to the days when both teams wanted to win. Enjoying this

Christy Ring 10 Posted 17/06/2026 at 19:59:47

Personally I think Ronaldo has more say than the manager of Portugal, Martinez should have hooked him at half-time. Portugal were fancied with the squad they have, unless they drop Ronaldo, they're going nowhere.

Keith Harrison 11 Posted 17/06/2026 at 20:00:05

Liam. Old Bridge Inn round 5ish tomorrow pal if you want a meet before the gig. email kwh2001@btinternet.com to message me.

Darren Hind 12 Posted 17/06/2026 at 20:04:18

Two great headers.

Jack Convery 13 Posted 17/06/2026 at 20:06:55

Well in DR Congo. Ronaldo, instead of looking around wondering what happened - Retire. The shot of the DR Congo fans, in the square in Portugal, surrounded by a multitude of Portugese fans - marvellous.

Liam Mogan 14 Posted 17/06/2026 at 20:24:53

Sound Keith - will drop you a message mate.

Michael Kenrick 15 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:06:08

Well, struggling to play footie so far...

Lots of backwards shite.

Michael Kenrick 16 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:12:24

Very fortunate penalty call.

Very lucky call on the goalie moving.

Jim Bennings 17 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:23:02

I can't get my head around these hydration breaks to be honest, it's pathetic unless the temperature is completely stifling, interfering in the game and having some bird talk us through a blackboard.

Jeff Armstrong 18 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:23:29

The penalty stutter should be banned, goalkeeper is bound to react to it, also encroachment is always going to occur if the taker stutters his shot.

Liam Mogan 19 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:24:23

These hydration breaks are an abomination

Christy Ring 20 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:28:30

Hydration break completely ridiculous, roof closed air conditioning on, it’s an advertisement break

Liam Mogan 21 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:28:34

They look so disjointed to me England

Michael Kenrick 22 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:29:46

Is Bellingham really that good? Surely that has to be a goal.

Liam Mogan 23 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:31:26

Refs a bit of a Dick

Michael Kenrick 24 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:31:39

How many hoofs is that now from Pickford?

Liam Mogan 25 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:35:39

That was coming. Too much space between the lines of the team

Jim Bennings 26 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:36:06

1-1 can't really argue with that, Croatia look more than capable.

England to me have too many individuals.

Still struggling to catch the Bellingham hype I'm in agreement, I seena good player but nowhere near the greats of the past or even present.

Michael Kenrick 27 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:36:28

Too many mistakes by Madueke.

He has been poor.

Christy Ring 28 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:39:03

Michael he wasn’t even a regular starter for Arsenal.

Jim Bennings 29 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:40:26

Kane is England's best player by some distance in terms of being a match winner, and there we see it again.

Fucking lethal centre forward

Liam Mogan 30 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:40:33

Some header that

Michael Kenrick 31 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:40:47

That was a lot better.

Brilliant header.

Bill Gall 32 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:40:51

Harry Kane special

Paul Griffiths 33 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:43:26

Kane is a phenomenon - 13 in 13, leading English WC scorer now, butCroatia gave him so much space, criminal

Christy Ring 34 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:44:56

Brilliant header by Kane, but totally free

Jim Bennings 35 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:49:34

England are all over the place defensively, no pressure on the ball

Paul Griffiths 36 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:49:49

Everton deep defending

Paul Griffiths 37 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:51:19

Let's see what Thomas the German has in his tank.

Liam Mogan 38 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:55:23

'midfields too open, trying to force it out the back and too many players wide..if Croatia just went driect through the middle they can carve us open'

My 18 year old pissed up in Benidorm sent me that 5 mins before the equaliser.

Tuchel is a clown

Kunal Desai 39 Posted 17/06/2026 at 21:55:26

Someone has cloned Tarky and Keane in that England defence. Horrific defending.

Paul Griffiths 40 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:01:46

Which one is Bellingham?

Tony Hughes 41 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:03:41

Centre halfs are abit ropey and i'm another one who seems to be missing something with Bellingham

Paul Griffiths 42 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:03:44

Get Henderson on.

John Collins 43 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:03:59

A poor partnership selected at centre halves.

Jim Bennings 44 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:09:28

Bellingham has shut us knobs us anyway haha

Tony Hughes 45 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:09:37

Nice to be proven wrong Jude

Jim Bennings 46 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:10:21

Reckon Pickford has said at HT "get on ToffeeWeb Jude lad"

Michael Kenrick 47 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:10:22

That was a bit better from Bellingham.

Jammy shot though.

Paul Griffiths 48 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:11:12

Ah that one is Bellingham. Great run by Madueke

Jim Bennings 49 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:14:18

Croatia now seem to be doing the standing off and watch them shoot, this half.

Michael Kenrick 50 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:14:23

Really poor forward pass by Gordon.

Stan Grace 51 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:14:34

I'd say Croatia's defence is more like Everton's than England's. The weel-taken but gifted goals aside I'm not impressed with Modric's boys.

Liam Mogan 52 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:16:19

What a coach Tuchel is. England on fire since ht

Liam Mogan 53 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:17:26

And that assistant scouse coach who looks like every lad in the North End in the 90s had a proper cob on

Jim Bennings 54 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:19:26

Tuchel must have given them a rocket at HT

Mark Ryan 55 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:21:10

Commentator. Modric has been out with a broken draw ! ha ha, what his kitchen draw

Paul Griffiths 56 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:21:15

5 saves in 2 minutes.

Michael Kenrick 57 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:25:52

Really surprised to see so many long hoofs from Pickford. How many times have England retained possession? Such a lottery.

Michael Kenrick 58 Posted 17/06/2026 at 22:30:35

xG for Gordon: 0.41 xG for Croatia: 0.41

That is just bizarre!
