A lot of goals in #WorldCup2026 will stem from goalkeepers blocking the ball instead of catching it, giving opponents the opportunity to score from the loose ball.
Would love to see a renaissance of the dead art of the goalkeeper ball catch...
Another #WorldCup2026 FIFA scandal is the lack of sound coming off the goal frames when the ball hits them. Not a crash or even a thud comes across on TV. Is it the materials? Inadequate goalside mics?
A lot of questions for Infantino to answer.

Prediction for #CIVNOR: We're going to miss a goal because the TV director keeps cutting to pictures of the crowd or showing pointless slo-mo replays while the ball is in play.

Japan are being tipped as dark horses. Alas, World Cup dark horses (from your Yugoslavias to your Belgiums) never become champions.

Jack Charlton did have a point about not passing the ball around at the back.
Sooooo many goals conceded nowadays due to this, including from short goal-kicks.
