To be excited about the World Cup starting!

I know FIFA and Russia and whoever is involved is horrible in some way... But it's the actual World Cup. Mexico v South Korea suddenly becomes hugely important to my life! England have a likeable squad and manager. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar. Spain sacking their manager yesterday.

It's so exciting isn't it!

Gary Linekar sounds bored to tears.

I thought Ass Pass was when you complimented a lady's bottom!

LapsedHumanist · 01/07/2018 17:28

It was quite exciting to have something to do!

TornFromTheInside · 01/07/2018 17:28

If the Japanese were playing, it would be cloud trouble.

user1471517900 · 01/07/2018 17:27

Might get a second thread ready for the penalties....

The weather's more exciting than the football. Given the heatwave i'd almost forgotten what rain looked like.

Even the weather got bored and had to rain.

TornFromTheInside · 01/07/2018 17:26

Other than us being entirely mediocre, overrated, overpaid and far too up ourselves, our failure will be ALL down to you @ nervousnails!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 01/07/2018 17:25

Fucking ref, could have ended things.

LapsedHumanist · 01/07/2018 17:25

Oh well, they really will be running through mud now.

IceRebel · 01/07/2018 17:25

Not given. Gahhhh it's almost like they don't want this misery to end.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 01/07/2018 17:25

Hang on, could be a pen.

TornFromTheInside · 01/07/2018 17:24

Correct decision!

TornFromTheInside · 01/07/2018 17:24

Soft pen

nervousnails · 01/07/2018 17:24

"TornFromTheInside" They even have the bloody year on it. I have gone on and jinxed it, haven't I!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 01/07/2018 17:23

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Someone score, I've got things to do.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 01/07/2018 17:21

I wish I laid down some bets. I've got some things right so far.

TornFromTheInside · 01/07/2018 17:21

Spain goal is coming, can feel it in my water

Not really interested but DH has bet on every game and has so far won hundreds so can't grumble. Not much eye candy this time around 😐

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 01/07/2018 17:19

If this is level of play at the moment, then England will be just fine.

ToffeeUp · 01/07/2018 17:19

Nearly!
