Only 3 countries left to win the FIFA World Cup. Anyone's guess who will win/

Argentina and Spain play the final in the US next Monday. 

   

That's 5.00 in what time zone?

Well, the start in the US is 3 pm so if 5 pm then probably Brazil

   

ahh..maybe the clue is Argentina and Spain play the final in the US next Monday

so 5 am  ? Middle of Oz.

Thanks Rich, FIFA's site gets your location and for us it's 5:00 AM Monday July 20.

It's on at 3:00 p.m. ET (New York time) on Sunday, July 19, 2026.

I think you can watch it on the same day

'The FIFA World Cup trophy is presented immediately following the final game. The closing ceremony, medal distribution, and trophy lift take place on a stage constructed on the pitch shortly after the referee blows the final whistle'.

It's likely the leader of the host nation will present the trophy. Whatever happens it will on TV the next day.

You guys would probably be more interested in this:





A young maths prodigy broke a decades old problem in accessing RAM memory. I was going to post here but thought nobody is interested in accessing computer memory.

Back to the World Cup - I haven't watched any games either, including Australia who I think has no hope of winning the cup. Our football is diluted over 4 different codes so why would we be good at all of them? We also have no hope of winning Eurovision because we are not in Europe. Likewise NATO, we have no Atlantic Ocean, just the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

I like the political side of the World Cup even though they try to censor it may watch the final to see what hits the fan

That is a plus.
There is an episode of "Farther Ted" where Ireland deliberately chooses his terrible song to make sure of not winning and thus not having to host the next contest.
