The 2018 World Cup Superthread

Dcully

My heart says Argentina as id love Messi to win a WC but i find it hard to look past Brazil , ofcourse the usual suspects will be up there too.
Croatia could be a dark horse.

Anyone else think the Nigeria kit is horrible looking? Everyone seems to be going on like it’s the best kit ever made.

So what if there was. The best and most appropriate and infrastructure ready bid won. That's the point the poster was making. I doubt many bribes were required to ensure that they got it.

There is a huge difference between Qatar' s victory and this one.

Is aul Robbie Williams doing the opening ceremony?

Drumpot

I would love it if fifa appointed this guy as ref for the game today . .



Imagine Putin eventually copping it that FIFA was trolling him . .

Ya and Will Smith, two prime examples as to why I'll be tuning in at in at 3.59pm, no earlier.

They should be showing their own talent.

Anybody have a link to a printable world cup wallchart? A4 if possible.

I already have a nice glossy colour wallchart, but want to print a couple so my son and I can go head to head on the result predictions each day.

Bloody hell, I didn't realise they were playing the two big lads up front. The Saudis have no chance.

4 pm is such a shít time for the first game

Harry Palmr

Very good! It's 7 PM there you know!

I’m running a comp over in the World Cup forum if anyone’s interested. Just a bit of fun.

Hey Mods

Would this be better moved to the Sub forum ???

naughto

Is there a lovely ladies thread for the World Cup like before

Gbear

Can't abide Robbie Williams or the stupid faces he pulls.

O Fenomeno is looking well.

naughto

The sound is cat

Harry Palmr

Its fine on ITV for me

Everyone knows Gary Barlow is the genius of Boyzone

Johner

This is shocking. Could they not have got someone better than Robbie Williams.

RobertKK

She is a good opera singer, pity the sound in the stadium is so bad.

I second a safe space for leering.

Robbie Williams GOAT

RobertKK

His grandfather is from Kilkenny so he if Robbie Williams had been a good football player he would have qualified for us.

Did ITV only show 2 songs?

Harry Palmr

Yes, the presenter mentioned they'd only be doing 10 mins of chooons.

Iused2likebusts

Where do the players do there warm up or is that opening ceremony live.

‘‘Twas well sh1te just play the game never mind the fuc1acting around

Harry Palmr

One half of Monday Night Football on the ITV panel. Whether it's the better half is for you to decide.

Why on earth would you think that? It’s never been anything else.

GiftofGab

Saudi defender just falling on the ground for no reason for the Russian goal.

GiftofGab

Russian player mile offside for that attempt. Assistant needs to see that.

Gbear

Well I've managed to get Saudi in the pool I'm doing.

On the other hand I've also got Brazil, Portugal and Senegal.

Hopefully the Saudis pick it up. We're going on points and it's often the small margins of your **** teams picking up a point here or there that swing it.

Gbear

They're playing some nice stuff here. Lot of positive play from them. A bit hapless at the back maybe.

Yeah, but normally they at least make an attempt to sweep it under the carpet so that they hope we don't notice :pac:

ERG89

Russia have dropped back since scoring. Poor stuff on show. Golovin is a good player for Russia but find it hard to find much else.
