Belgium vs. Egypt has weird opener energy.
Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports and @InsertNameFC are taking Belgium.
@NikGable37 is calling a draw because the vibes are off.
Hector’s counter: what is Egypt’s answer for Jeremy Doku?
Seattle could make this one interesting.
Croatia’s World Cup résumé is ridiculous.
Third in 1998. Runners-up in 2018.
Third again in 2022.
Now they open against England with old wounds waiting.
And somehow Luka Modric is 40 and still pulling strings.
Croatia waits, suffers, then ruins your tournament.
Part 46 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
Netherlands vs. Japan might be the best game of opening weekend.
Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports and @NikGable37 are taking Japan.
@InsertNameFC is taking the Netherlands.
Nik’s case: Japan’s attack is hot, the tactics could surprise, and the Dutch may miss Xavi Simons badly.
England has the talent.
Now they need the ending.
Group L starts with Croatia, which comes with plenty of 2018 baggage.
Then Ghana. Then Panama.
On paper, England should control it.
But this is England, so nothing is ever simple.
Part 45 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
Brazil vs. Morocco might be Saturday’s must-watch game.
Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports and @NikGable37 are taking Brazil.
@InsertNameFC is taking Morocco to beat Brazil.
His case: Brazil has stars but still has questions. Morocco already plays like a unit.
Bold. Spicy. Respectable chaos.
#WorldCup2026
USA vs. Paraguay is tonight in LA.
Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports asked about the U.S. getting the win, and @NikGable37 says it starts with a fast start, an early goal and finishing.
His striker pick: Balogun over Pepi.
The pick is USA.
The stress is very USMNT.
Colombia is back at the World Cup with unfinished business.
After missing 2022, they return in a group with Uzbekistan, DR Congo and Portugal.
That Portugal match could decide first place.
Luis Diaz brings the pace and one-on-one danger to break games open.
Part 44 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina is already a panel split.
Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports and @NikGable37 are taking Canada.
@InsertNameFC is alone on Bosnia Island.
His case: massive chip on their shoulder, Canada pressure, and a tone-setting opener.
Tonight could get messy.

The silence was deadly.
Mexico was the unanimous decision.
Belly Up Sports Summer of Soccer with Kelcey, @NikGable37 and @InsertNameFC.
For the first time in recorded podcast history, Hector and Edward actually agree on something:
🥇 Spain is the favorite to win the 2026 World Cup
After that? Complete chaos.
Hector’s List:
🇪🇸 Spain
🇫🇷 France
🇩🇪 Germany
🇦🇷 Argentina
🇵🇹 Portugal
Edward’s List:
🇪🇸 Spain
🇦🇷 Argentina
🇫🇷 France
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇵🇹 Portugal
So the real debate is:
🇩🇪 Germany or 🇧🇷 Brazil?
One of us thinks Germany is back.
One of us thinks Brazil never left.
And knowing the World Cup, watch neither of them win it. 😅🏆
Drop your Top 5 below and tell us which one of us is getting roasted in 2026.

DR Congo is back at the World Cup for the first time since 1974, when they competed as Zaire.
More than half a century later, they return to face Portugal, Colombia and Uzbekistan.
Chancel Mbemba leads a team with pace, power and belief.
Part 42 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
Uzbekistan just made World Cup history.
First-ever appearance.
First Central Asian nation to qualify.
Now they face Colombia, Portugal and DR Congo.
Brutal group, but if Abdukodir Khusanov anchors the defense, they can make things uncomfortable.
Part 43 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
