Right - forgetting the bent bidding process and the conditions of the migrant workers building the stadiums - does anybody else agree that a Nov/Dec competition has the potential to be ace?

 

Firstly because it will take up most of the traditional Christmas bullshit season so we'll all be talking about football and not festivities. Secondly just for the novelty factor. And thirdly because we can see whether or not our well worn excuse about our players being tired stands up to scrutiny.

Bloody hell, I'd fancy last night's team to beat Costa Rica- immediately after playing Barrow.

 

Based on population or footballing ability?

Aye, let's not forget these qualified out of our group in 2014 and we didn't  

Saw Ruiz and Navas are still going 

Not sure about any of the others

What price Canadia in the Frenchie type group?

So many empty seats at the Spain match and other matches yet I didn’t get any tickets when I applied. 
 

FIFA really are shit.

There will be thousands upon thousands with the sponsors. Especially Budweiser given the twatting about they’ve faced and the reduced value of their deal. And yet nobody seems to get hold of these either most of the time. 

My mate paid £180 for our game on Monday 

He's also got the other 2 group games 

He's been living there the last 6 month so unsure how he went about getting them 

Shite pen that was.

Canada would have deserved the lead too.

Belgium also on the wane 

This fire effect on Belgium's kit is very Thursday night Hawthorns.

Tell you what, I don't think many teams could deal with these Canada wingers

Next to no athleticism  in Belgiums team. Old as shit

De bruyne will bag at some point no doubt.

Injustice. 

For all their youthful exuberance and positive play, Canada have no composure in the penalty box

They need to bring Larin on sharpish

Empty seats my lord

I could see Frank Spencer in it during his white dreads period.

Begs the question why would they drop it in the first place?

Or am I being over analytical?
