Have no idea how legit this is or if the person tweeting it is well respected in Morocco or not. Fus Rabat was where we signed Zeroauli from I think.

A couple of reports going around that Tobers is injured again. No details as to what the injury is, but maybe related to his ongoing issue, but not good news, if true Just isn't meant to be for the loon.

Senegal five up, and I don't expect the ten men of Iraq to find a way back in, so that's us still bottom of the third place teams that have played all their fixtures. Interesting that the commentary team in the France game had zero interest in that game at all. They didn't bother to tell us that they were ahead of Scotland, and they didn't mention that they were ahead of South Korea and so likely to go through. They appeared to have no clue at all the ramifications of the fixture (for anyone). I'm sure it'd have been the same level of ignorance if it in any way affected England.

They'll be delighted I expect. Wages will be better at Pittodrie. I don't mind it to be honest. I don't think either is good enough yet, so another six months to see if they can do it at championship level (Bavidge didn't previously) and otherwise wish them all the best next year. With the change of manager and other happenings at the club, it's not a bad idea to retain them just in case we are missing something.

Hun rejoins huns. He was ok for us, made us a few quid. I’ve nothing particularly against him bar the hunnery, but he never really displayed that while he was here. Will he move the dial at snake mountain - absolutely not. It’s actually a downgrade on Tavernier given he had a decent set piece and crossing ability which McCrorie doesn’t. Very promising first signing from McInnes that. Bodes well for the rest of us…

The group winners play Sweden and the runners up play Ivory Coast so it really doesn't make much difference. Better to rest their players instead of risking injury.

Norway making 10 changes ahead of tonight’s game against France even though they can win the group. Seems a really odd thing to do. Norway basically admitting they feel they cannot beat France.

The first two should easily happen, Senegal will beat Iraq, no way Ghana beat Croatia by 3 goals, Austria - Algeria is the most nailed on draw in world cup history and doctor Congo should beat Uzbekistan So we're out.

There's something wrong with football when you can't rely on the Germans

A years contract extension then punt them back out on a season long loan?

If Uruguay get anything against Spain, then a return to Boston to play Germany can happen. Spain win, and the only possibility if we do reach the last 32 is Mexico. We need four of six scenarios below to go our way. Spain beat Uruguay (or draw if you're desperate to go back to Boston), but then you now need four from five below to happen. Egypt to beat Iran Iraq to avoid defeat to Senegal Ghana to beat Croatia by at least three goals Austria to beat Algeria by at least two goals Uzbekistan to avoid defeat to DR Congo

A quick update on the upgrade timeline - we'll be migrating the site in one day, rather than through the week - so DonsTalk will be unavailable from 10am on Monday.6 July 2026. The new site will be available from the evening of Monday 6 July 2026.

The fact that Turkey, bottom of their group, are out .... whilst having equal or better points/goal difference than some 'still in the hunt' illustrates what a shit system the 3rd place scramble is. It's bad enough having to, uncharacteristically, cheer on bigger sides against the diddy teams in the hope of our own diddy team's survival, but holy fuck!

Confirmed this afternoon by the club

Whilst Algeria (who'd beaten WG in the first match) were eliminated.

To be fair the team did everything I expected of them. Abject team performances backed by the most negative manager. Despite the Haiti win we were the worst team in the group. Haiti were unlucky against us but we can never say we were unlucky in the other two games. Lucky in all three not to concede more at best. Everything will start to get back to normal now knowing that all the optimism was wasted as per forever and we can get down to the usual business of anyone but....

Yeah, they have previous and a draw works for both Algeria and Austria. Might have to have a wee flutter…

Aye, strange that.... Wasn't it Austria in 86 or 90 that played out a draw? Edit: 82 against West Germany, where they played out a 1-0 win for the Germans to both go through

The Algeria vs Austria match is just above evens for the draw. Don’t think I’ve ever seen odds to draw a match so low before.

A case of seeing how many more days we can survive. Could potentially go out tonight, but unlikely. Spain, Egypt to win and Iraq to shitfest a draw and we're back in the hunt. A good chance that we'll get two of those three tonight, which will keep us clinging on until the final fixtures. I'm sure we'll all be staying up late with the excitement. I realised I forgot group L in my analysis: Group L: Ghana to beat Croatia by more than two goals. Very unlikely!

This thread isn’t going to last long as it seems we’re down to a 5.26% chance of making it though after overnight results. Getting what we deserve.
