A small mercy is that the World Cup makes all the England flags up already look some what normal for a month and not what they are actually intended for.
As people tend to stick out an England flag for it and then take them back in after.

Last call on the WC fantasy football in the FF thread.

Just watching the France Argentina final replay, had forgot what a mad one that was. Mbappe’s second goal was so good.

World Cup starts tomorrow. Stoked.

Yeah, hope these delays aren’t going to be too often in this World Cup because of the weather. So is this line-up Tuchel’s World Cup starting 11 from now on then?

I’d say Saka will be in once the real games start…

Kin ell going in a bit hard this lot

Lol at the people sitting at tables eating burgers by one of the corners. Only in America

Some bits of promise in there tonight, Bellingham skipping and gliding around the box has a HL for me. An England win as you’d expect against a team that didn’t qualify, so far, so good.

Come on

Not sure how to feel about this world cup.

It’s sort of tradition now to write it off before it starts as the worst one ever, but for this one to have a darker mood than Qatar or Russia is pretty mad.

FIFA have always been one of the grubbiest organisations on earth and the Donald dick tugging and price gouging has been outrageous even by their standards.

The time zone will mean it will largely pass us by.

There are way, way, way too many teams.

It’s always interesting to see how countries that never play each other do, but after the inital first few days there are weeks of pretty shitty games.

Saying that…it is the biggest and best event sport so they know we can’t look away either.

Bring it on.

i can’t get excited about it and don’t really want to watch a second of it tbh

the US banning members of the Iranian team and forcing them to leave the country after every match

UK fans being held at airports and questioning for hours

the Somalian referee being blocked

its all fucked. i feel for Mexico and Canada. i actually cannot believe this is working our WORSE than Russia or Qatar. especially with the latters known human rights issues

You would have thought that the richest country in the world, which is also pretty much the entertainment hub of the world, would put on the most banging World Cup ever but all indicators point to it being a naff shitshow. I’ll still watch it though. Best sports tournament in the world alongside Olympics, even if the organisers are total bellends.

FIFA, the world’s most corrupt organisation meets the most corrupt superpower (American) there has ever been (in my lifetime anyway) and I’m here for it. I can’t wait to see it all go spectacularly wrong (I’m not hoping that anyone dies or anything). FIFA giving Trump a peace prize is already looking more shady than it did at the time and it was pretty bad then. I hope it’s first World Cup that FIFA and the hosts lose money on (sorry Mexico and Canada). I hope crowds are low.
The greed alone being shown from America is shocking before we even get to the heavy handed, over the top totalitarian policing of it.
Where America now treats any non-American with suspicion. I hope the whole thing is a farce and Trump is shown for the incompetent fool that he is yet again and FIFA will have to rethink who it takes bribes off in the future.

After the initial goal that first half felt long, then sparked back into life for the last 5mins or so.
I guess we can expect a lot of matches slowing down mid game because of heat.
