I quite fancy Belgium, as they have some very exciting players.

I think Martinez is on his way to being spoken about in Belgium like Sven is here - wasting their golden generation.

Nainggolan for example has retired from international football, after being ostracised by Martinez.

I think Serbia could surprise a few people. Looking forward to seeing what they look like.

Milinkovic-Savic, Matic, Ljajic, Tadic, Mitrovic, Zivkovic, Rajkovic, Nastasic.

All really exciting players.
 
Looking through the Senegal squad. They look pretty impressive. Mane, Balde, Koulibaly, Gueye, I think Serbia and Senegal look like they could be interesting to watch. Possible dark horses.
 
So FML, I hope you're prepared for some controversy over refereeing 'decisions' with VAR being used extensively!!!
I wonder how long it will be before we see someone booked for diving as a result of VAR?????

World cup kits through the years... Some beauties in here (and some horrors)

I can't decide if kit design is a tough or easy task. for the main it's stick a badge on the right colour and have a little play with the trim. Fairly easy, try to go different and it gets tough and devisive. Look at City kits down the years, simple yellow with green trim little complaints (unless it's a **** quality errea) Bird poo, refresher etc and you've decided opinion.
From an England perspective '82 and '90 probably rank as the most out there, but I like them both. a bit more about them then a pretty much plain white t.

Bah!
 
Incredible turn of events as Spain have sacked their head coach with little more than 24 hours before the World Cup Starts

Very bold decision based on the fact Real Madrid and Lopetegui held talks without informing the Spanish FA so have taken the moral stance of sacking him. Seems incredibly harsh (and ridiculous) but if they weren't aware of negotiations then that would equate to an illegal approach and one of the most blatant cases of 'tapping up' you may ever see

Almost as farcical as Big Sam saying he should still be in charge of the England team. <doh>
