I was pretty disgusted with how they were allocated it by Sepp. Also, Russia have treated NATO with utter contempt, and along with poisoning and bullying they seem to do what the hell they like. As a fan, I wouldn't want to go to a WC were I'd feel like my fellow fans are in danger of organised attacks just because of where they came. A year ago I said I'd pay this tournament no attention. But.......

We are staying up, football is exciting, World Cup year baby!!!!! <laugh>

Massive hypocrite me.

Yeah, me too. We've all known for years that Fifa is rotten, the PL is rotten, greed is killing the game etc...

...but **** that, it's the World Cup

So ..... who’s going to be in the semis or the final? Any upsets (apart from England progressing to the next round)? And players to watch?
I need to work out a schedule of must watch games - especially as I have a girlfriend who’s not even vaguely interested!
 
I don’t think I will have the time to watch more than the England games.

But I look forward to watching the highlights each day :)
 
Haven't looked into this at all (and a quick google would probably give me my answer) but someone told me the other day that if England get through their group they either play Brazil or Germany in the first knockout round, is that true?
 
As for the World Cup I will watch it, don't really support an international team so will just hope whoever I bet on/get in whatever sweepstakes do well.

No.

We would meet either first or second from Group H, which is Poland, Senegal, Colombia, and Japan. We could possibly meet Germany or Brazil in the quarters.

The person who told me said it didn't matter if England won the group or not, but I guess that would mean that Brazil and Germany were in the same group which sounds wrong as both surely were top seeds. He was chatting ****

I think we meet a team from group H so most likely be Poland or Columbia.

There could be a lot of innocent people getting their lives ruined by the corrupt Russian bill.

British embassy will be powerless, and Russian government could encourage it just to get revenge for the Salisbury fiasco.
