Hes overrated and finished anyway .
Edwand circa 2018
I’ve punted on Belgium at 20-1, and Netherlands at 16-1.
Sneaking suspicion Argentina might win it.
I’m looking forward to the half time stonings.
Proper old school entertainment.
Got Canada in a sweepstake. Loopy has a friend in me
LOL @ watching tennis when there’s a World Cup on.
Ridiculous.
Tennis is alright but its a second tier sport.
Watch only when there is no football or rugby IMO.
I’ll probably watch the snooker final instead of the WC today

Only tuning in to Qatar vs Ecuador to:
a) See if there are any kind of protests
b) See if the commentary coverage manages to be hugely sycophantic, or actually criticises the regime/organisation/tournament readiness
c) See if there’s any semblance of truth to the Ecuador / bribery rumours
d) Stave off boredom on a Sunday afternoon when I’m feeling shit
vinnyt77 Only tuning in to Qatar vs Ecuador to:
E) see if Ecuador have changed their national anthem to Sash yet
F) see if Antonio Valencia is still captain of Ecuador
ScottBailey Both solid additions to my list - ta ️
BlainSA France are on the wrong side of the draw? you sure that’s for the right world cup?
Anyone but portugal. Or more specifically anyone but Cristiano Ronaldo.
Would love to see Messi lift it.
mono-stereo There’s a lot to disagree with there anyway. You can add accuracy too then lol
Did anyone watch the Ronaldo interview?

Is Ronaldo really more dislikeable than Messi, with all his tax evasion?
Fact is they’re both sort of cunts.
Although if England don’t win it, I don’t mind seeing either of them cap admittedly stellar careers with the trophy that evades them. Better than seeing Neymar lift it.
Real rogues gallery. Can’t wait for Neville’s critical inshites.
bosstrabs Is Ronaldo really more dislikeable than Messi, with all his tax evasion?
Yeah, I think so. Messi always struck me as more of a humble guy, lacking the arrogance of Ronaldo.
Cankles-McJeggings Aye and then that weasel Swanson gets up and brown noses Infantino . He’s changed his tune from his days at Sky.
Lineker looks delighted to be in Qatar.
