Join the club. Too many groups...Trying to work out the group tables and who'll play who in the last 32, is like doing advanced algebra or working out a long complex mental athematic challenge without the aid of a calculator.

Yes,it's a bit too drawn out for me.There's been a few decent games that I've enjoyed but there's also been some games of little or no interest.
It'll gather pace when the knockout games start and teams have no option but to give their all.
Here's a preview of Greece v Germany in the later rounds....Greece are a surprise introduction.

Spain, Portugal and Morocco. We'll see.
That maybe where the next world cup is so the beaks will be here to stay in the world cup.
Where are the next euros?
FIFA refuse to say if there'll be hydration breaks in the next World Cup, which means there won't be, but they don't want to admit that the current ones are just down to US add breaks.
Id be surprised if there wont be
Once the full figures come out and they realise just how much money is made from the adverts
all the big broadcasters will be vying for them
For example
Fox alone is looking to make more than $200m
Yep,it's probably the start of a rather annoying trend,though it does come in handy for a cold can fridge visit instead of going and missing a goal (which always seems to happen) or waiting until half-time.
Yeah that Argentina theme was the only tune I could ever play on my Uncle Yamaha organ
Looking at how the groups are progressing, I can't see Scotland not progressing to the next round - even if they get tanked v Brazil.
I wish them well but for me they've probably been the most dire team to watch in the competition. I had a quick look to try and find out about the mood of the nation and saw an article from an ex Scotland and Rangers striker calling for Clarke to be bold v Brazil.
But WTF is Kris Boyd smoking here - is this a common belief north of the border?
"Kris Boyd has urged Steve Clarke to consider throwing Lyndon Dykes into the starting XI against Brazil after his impact off the bench against Morocco."
What impact? He's possibly the worst forward in the entire comp.

Complaining about too much football!!!
Don’t understand the concept
Don’t understand the concept
No big deal to me whether they progress or not.When it all boils down to it they're just another football team in a tournament and if they don't cut the grade they'll be on the first flight back home just like Haiti,Turkey and Tunisia.
Lets be honest
Theres 4 or 5 teams far better than the rest
Itd be boring if it was just those teams though
Mathematically, I'd be amazed if they didn't go through. already looks like Group A, E and H's third place wont get to 3 points. They only need to do better than 4.
Is Dykes rated up there?
Dykes has given 110% to scotland and the cause everytime hes played
Think like kyle joseph for us
EVeryone knows hes flawed but he deserves it
Mcburnie could barely be arsed and then there was the leaked thing where he said it was ****
its never been dykes or mcburnie
Its more
mcburnie or adams for me
And lets be honest, having mcburnie wont make scotland suddenly be world beaters
Within the circle of people I speak to about Dykes,it's a definite no.I think most thought Shankland would give them a bit up front but he's on the small side and perhaps because he's a Rangers player now he's not flavour of the month with Clarke(who's a weird ****er at the best of times).
McBurnie burnt his bridges ,and if he hadn't he'd be the obvious choice,perhaps even up alongside Shankland.
For me Dykes is a donkey but Clarke obviously has different ideas and he could easily fall on his own sword if they get pumped off Brazil.
Nah - giving 100% should be a pre-req. He's beyond appalling and should be nowhere near Scotland's squad - **** all to do with McBurnie here.
I haven't really seen anything or any team that's sticking out like a sore thumb begging to be bet on yet,although Holland have been involved in a couple of decent games and they're easy on the eye.
France will be there at the end I would think and before the tournament I would've thought Spain would be playing silky football but I can't see them winning it.
Maybe it is our time again but the defence will need to sort itself out first.
