he works for a paper owned by a friend of putin?
Its like playing an All-Ireland Final in mid-July.
It just feels all wrong.
Outside bets donāt win world cups
Hard to disagree but at the same time there are a heap of teams that could win it now that Pogba and chelsea lad who runs around lots are out. Im expecting a few shocks possibly.
Players should be at peak fitness.
Kick off times are shite though if youāve young kids to feed and get to bed.
Might be a few decent WFH kick offs however. Roll on Canada v Serbia at 10am or whatever 
Will they even make it out of the group? Theyāre in with Brazil and Switzerland who knocked them out in 2018. They only drew with us in Dublin and barely beat us in Belgrade and weāre at our lowest ebb in decades in truth.
Quatar and Ecuador kicking it off on the Sunday, fuck sakeā¦ I wonāt even watch thatā¦ there isnāt any decent group stage match until the 27th November when Spain play Germany.
The group stages are very mismatched and will be shit I reckon.
Senegal v Netherlands should be a good game. Wales v USA too because it will pretty much decide 2nd place in that group Iād say. Mexico v Poland another game of that ilk.
Brazil v Serbia should be a good early contest too. Given how well the Japanese performed at the last World Cup Iād say theyāll give Germany and Spain bags of it too.

None of that is bloating my goat mate
Iām looking forward to it. There, I said it. The eldest is big into the soccer nowadays and heās backing France to do it. Iāll be backing my beloved Argentina as always. A World Cup through the eyes of a child will be fun.

Will we get another World Cup out of it @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy or will this be it ?
Can the planet survive another 4 years of cow farts ?
France wont get out of the group.
Australia arenāt a patch on their 2006 team and Tunisia never produce much in World Cups so Iād say theyāre safe enough.
Never underestimate the ability of the reigning champions to fail to make it past the group.
Donāt fucking tell him that youāll destroy the lad
Mbappe will always give you a chance
Work out yeāre finalists etc. from that. A prediction comp like last years Euros would be enjoyable again. Remember the Turks were incredibly highly rated hereš
