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!

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

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 😐

Spain goal is coming, can feel it in my water

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

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

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

Soft pen

Correct decision!

Hang on, could be a pen.

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

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

Fucking ref, could have ended things.

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

Even the weather got bored and had to rain.

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

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

(Jinx?)

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

It was quite exciting to have something to do!

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

Just saw second thread link. Thanks!

1 added minute?

Oh how they torture us

Gary Linekar sounds bored to tears.

Quite looking forward to Croatia - Denmark!
