2026 World Cup Replay

For the first time in nearly two years, soccer is back on the table. It’s been too long. I’ve got the new World Soccer set from Plaay Games and I’ll be replaying the 2026 World Cup as it happens with Soccer Blast Express.

I’ll be trying to use as-played lineups as much as the cards allow. I’m going to try to keep pace with the actual World Cup as best as possible, but other projects and vacations are going to get in the way so I will likely fall behind quickly.

This project, like the real World Cup, began in June 2026.
