Just found out about this, americans ffs

Half-time show

It's going to be a tough tournament to watch this time with all the non footballing **** that will be going on.

I'll be using the mute button a lot! I thought the opening ceremony was going to be Trump declaring it the greatest world cup in the history the tournament all because of him, all while getting piped off by Infantini :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Madonna must be about 400 years old now.

The World Cup to me is now a poor competition.

FIFA somehow managed to replace a fraud like Blatter with one who is even worse. It is played usually where it shouldn't be played, often with teams who are nowhere near good enough to play in it, has appalling refereeing standards and after the Qatar abomination, we can say that the winner can be........let's say, predictable.

This next one will be played mostly in searing heat and scorching sun. I'll watch it if I'm in, but I'll lose no sleep if I miss games, and I won't lose any sleep to catch one.. They have killed the greatest football tournament in the world.

Not a patch on the EUROS for me.
Sometimes I wonder who is more corrupt
FIFA or Trump

I really hope this tournament is a complete disaster.
 
Training squad was useful to know, Fulham Josh King and Rio that winger after Liverpool finally started him. Scott likely in that 55 list back up also confirmed with Nwaneri after his waste of loan to Marseille.

Foden and Palmer only have themselves to blame. What really gets my back up though is how Eze/Henderson can get picked ahead of Gibbs-White and Adam Wharton who have both had stellar seasons and been 2 standout English players in the Premier league this season. I also dont understand what Madueke and Djed Spence have done to deserve a call-up?
Spence certainly baffled me.
 
Spain for me. They have the best possession game, know how to win, and most of the squad are peak age.

France have better players, but Deschamps has never really let them fly apart from 2018.

Holland my dark horses. They have some belting players now.
 
So. Who do we have confirmed as being at the World Cup?
Talbi, Diarra, Andingra, Isidor, Xhaka & Sadiki?

Expecting Brobbey, Roefs and Geertruida to go with Holland. Alderete with Paraguay?

Ellborg didn't make Sweden squad.

Is that everyone?

Usually I can't be arsed with International football, but so many of our lads on the world stage will make it for more interesting.

After Sunday I'm now really looking forward to it. Every player is a potential new signing.
