I’ve been pretty non plussed about the Copa Mundial this year which is unusual as I’ve always loved it. Perhaps FIFA have contributed to my overall “fcuk it” view to the modern game, I’ve never felt so remote from a tournament Inger-Lund have been in.
Part of me hopes it lives up to the scam it is with Russia being awarded 317 penalties in the group stages, empty stadiums with Escape To Victory dubbed crowd cheering noises all capped off with a plucky squad of kids winning it so rhino nose becomes Sir Gareth
Current questions for those buzzing about it or who simply know:-
1. Any good Apps for iPhone anyone come across? (Preferably free)
2. Can anyone recommend a Fantasy Competition for the tournament? I’ve been asked to run one at work; think the Sun used to do a simple one; no idea if they are as I haven’t bought a newspaper this decade.
3. Any players people recommend sticking in above / hidden jems????
4. What fixtures do we think are ones to make an effort to watch out of the current group stages? May have to organise work schedule and ensure a regular spot in The Leicester Arms on Warwick Street for any midweek afternoon games
5. What nation picks up the Jules Rimet this year for you? I’m thinking probably Germany but the last time they tried to conquer all the Russia issue didn’t work out well for them |  |

Just occurred to me that Uruguay are the only South Americans to win a game so far, and Germany and Poland are the only Europeans to lose. Strange days.
If I could only pick one, I’d have Ronaldo over Messi, but I can’t pick either and I can watch both. Lucky me. I’m sure Jordan Henderson is a nicer bloke than either, but I want to be entertained by them, not have them as a son-in-law.
Just read that Argentine coaches are P9 W0 D1 L8, F3 A18. [Post edited 22 Jun 2018 9:21]

Uruguay look like the only team that can defend so far!!
It'll be a shame if a South American team doesn't go far in this tournament as you don't just want European nations doing well but feels increasingly like they have the monopoly. |  | | |

I backed Belgium before the tournament obviously hate the club the Hazard plays for but he will be wanting to push on as nowhere near Messi or Ronaldo in terms of performances for his country though a lot of the Belgium side look very talented. |  | | |

Am I the only one who thinks Neymar is over rated ? |  |

Did the locals cheer or boo when Yeltsin Tejeda came on for Costa Rica? How many kids would you already have before you came up with that? | | | |

Been saying the same. Plus we can all see he is a cheat too now.

Biggest overrated kunt in football, Brazil are a joke they are the Chelsea of international football |  |

That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Note to self.... don’t book the Dentist 3 months in advance for 2:00pm on a Friday thinking you’ll get an early dart before checking if there’s a reasonably big tournament on
Caught last 8 mins of the game but still saw 2 goals though!! | |

No, got booked for chucking the ball away a few minutes after though.
Good use of VAR there I thought, and fair play to the ref for over-turning his own decision |  | | |

No he was not. My question now - is he already on a card? | |

Have I just never noticed this before? Has Keown always spoken with a weird, Kiwi-like inflection at the end of his sentences? Really distracting. | | | |

He was really annoying me with his pronunciation of Kieran Trippier's name the other night pronouncing it Trippi-ay as if it's French when all the time Guy Mowbray alongside him was pronouncing it correctly as Trippi-er to rhyme with fur. |  |

Nigeria. Tight passing midfield to attack. Little green triangles. Quality street. Last group game v Argentina will be epic. |  | | |

I was just waiting for “jumpers for goalposts”
Seen some good football again today, would’ve seen more if not for the Dentist
Serbia look well balanced but zero pace | |

If Ivanovic stays upright, instead of going to ground, he blocks Xhaka’s shot on goal. |  | | |

So Serbia simply ran out of gas..... shame as I had 3 of them in my Fantasy Team
Another really enjoyable game
VAR seems brilliant one minute and terrible the next.
Another Kane moment again tonight- awful!!!
Looking forward to the 7:00pm game Saturday | |

Has to be Peru surely?
Still raw about about Iceland. I have a soft spot for the Swiss for taking Phil Collins off our hands. | | | |

Definitely Perú but sadly they are going home. Switzerland now for me and Nigeria. |  | | |

Croatia - Modric is my favourite player there
Japan - fast and skilful, great team ethic | | | |

Yeah I need to replenish now Iceland and Peru are more than likely bowing out, Croatia are very likeable -- if a little too good at football for my usual tastes [Post edited 22 Jun 2018 23:17]
