To be excited about the World Cup starting!

[user1471517900]

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!

He'd be sent off every match if he was booked for every dive! But yes, shame.

It's all getting a bit silly now isn't it?

Seems like all the "big" teams start to resort to dirty tactics and crying like babies when things don't go their way in this tournament. I think they think they can just cruise by on big name players like Messi and Neymar and then when the other teams are actually making them work hard they throw their toys out the pram.

Fuck

B'ah

Fuckity fuck indeed. At least it wasn't Neymar who scored I suppose.

He has now

Should've kept my bloody mouth shut!

Such an attention seeker, 'crying', all camera's aimed on just him.

Oh no I had to take a call! Did Brazil get two in right at the very end?! Noooo!

All is not lost yet! If Serbia beat Brazil and then Switzerland win both their matches Brazil will be out.

Go Serbia and Switzerland

And come on Iceland! Though I quite like Nigeria too.

Great atmosphere

Good finish from Musa there.

Come on Iceland!

Nope football it’s hell and footballers are way over paid

Switzerland! Was rooting for them this game.

My child loves saying the name "Shaqiri" too. It is a good name.

In fact Xhaka and Shaqiri must be the best Scrabble scoring players ever.

Belgian goal at 6mins in!

2-1 but Tunisia are making it very easy for Belguim

And that is 4.
Guess that is my sweepstake over and out.

Lets hope belgium rest their players against england

I doubt it. If England win tomorrow, Thursday's match will be the decider as to who tops the group. (hint, it probably won't be England)

Belgium could go all the way I'm thinking. Although they haven't really been up against much competition so far but they've outperformed the likes of Brazil, Argentina etc. Will be interesting to see how they fare against a more challenging team.

England to win 6-0 tomorrow, draw with Belguim Thursday and top the group-easy

Belgium are too inconsistent for me. Fantastic on a good day, but...

I still think Germany will get their act together, and Portugal and Spain aren't too bad either.

All of that said, they've looked as impressive as anybody else thus far.
