Re: World Cup 2018
Well, the opening ceremony wasn't too painful, although the wife insisted in singing along...
Great start for the Home Nation.
Sadly, I fear we may see an extra 10p/litre on fuel in the morning....

Re: World Cup 2018
Whilst I wish England all the best, I am not of fan of 'the beautiful game' . Too 'tribal' for me, I'm afraid.
Re: World Cup 2018
Spain 3 Portugal 3. A very entertaining game and some fantastic goals. Let just hope every game ends up being that good. The Morocco and Iran game wasn't to bad either.
Re: World Cup 2018
The Portugal / Spain game was a great spectacle and how how the World Cup should be. Four games today, that should help the 12 hour shift I'm on

Enjoyed that more than any game for quite some time

Next time Mark Clattenburg comes on in terms of VAR discussion, have a look at the huge ingot of gold on his left wrist (disguised as a watch).

Re: World Cup 2018
That was the first England game I've enjoyed for years. Excellent header from John Stones to allow Harry Kane to follow up and a excellent finish from Kane for the winner. Thought Pickford was unlucky not to save the penalty.
Re: World Cup 2018
It looked to me [from a non-football fan viewpoint] that England were absolutely determined not to get the ball in the net!!!!!. Their finishing was very poor. They will have to play a lot better than that to progress further!!!.

Re: World Cup 2018
Think Mr Gareth Southgate should take his team to a football pitch and show them what a goal actually looks like.
Then when they can recognise a goal see how many can actually find it again .
Joking aside that has to be the worst refereeing i have ever witnessed ,
the ref seemed determined not to award England a penalty no matter what the Tunisian,s did.

Re: World Cup 2018
It was dismal. As long as we were drawing 1-1 the teams performance was poor or substandard. In extra time they are lucky enough to score another goal and all of a sudden people seem to think the team were great!

"We" - I didn't think Wales were playing

I couldn't make out which of the Tunisians on the touchline was holding the 'Referees' white stick and Labrador

Re: World Cup 2018
I don't think the expectations were that high but a win in the first match is a great start despite the referee's best efforts.

Re: World Cup 2018
I'm born and bred in England. Happen to suffer this misfortune of living in Wales.
For the record, from my personal point of view, the sooner England are knocked out the better. For me the best World Cup would be one where neither England, Wales or Scotland are in it.

Re: World Cup 2018
I'll tell you something else too lol. Watching Rashford being interviewed by the BBC he doesn't half talk a load of crap.
He's trying to imply that the Tunisia match panned out just as it was "planned" lol.
