  • The way FIFA are going with joint bids you’ll probably get to share one with Togo and Venezuela
  • We'll likely see more and more joint bids simply because there are very few countries who can handle a 48 team world cup on their own.

    Loving this world cup and we have some great games potentially in store for the next round. We could (some are definite) see:

    Uruguay v Spain/Portugal
    France v Argentina
    Brazil v Germany
    England/Belgium v Colombia

    Will be some big teams out by the time we get to the quarters.

    I think this all automatically points to the fact that football is indeed coming home.
  • Great to see the scorpion kick keeper and valdarama just then

    Poland woeful absolutely toilet there won’t be any delayed building work in the Medway this summer

    Any building work needed phone your local friendly pole for a quote

    Yes , Lord Sugar.
  • I'm loving this WC thanks to the time difference between China and Russia being only five hours. I've so far watched 12 live games. That's a lot for me. Usually I only get to watch no more than 5 in every major tournament. At my office we were talking about China hosting the WC but our football team has been so poor in the past decade it probably won't happen even when I reach retirement!

    That didn't stop Qatar...

    I'm sure it won't be long until we get a Chinese World Cup. Probably 2034 after Uruguay-Argentina in 2030!
    It’ll be Mexico’s chance to have another turn by then.
  • i cant believe how bad Poland were dont really want to play columbia as they look the strongest from that group.

    China will surely be the next Asian hosts. Qatar are Asian, so Asia's turn won't be for a while yet (assuming other regions want the WC)

    I read that South and North Korea are potentially proposing a joint bid for 2030, but they'll never get it as it's too soon after Qatar.

    England are also interested in 2030 too, but i think Uruguay will get it as it'll be the centenary of the first one.
  • do love everyone getting behind the team but some of the celebrations were a bit ott i mean it was panama, watched in tooting in a pub garden which was good atmosphere nothing too mad, clapham high street was good afterwards everyone singing etc, local pubs in bexleyheath majority after monday night were over 25s only.

    Loving the celebrations. This country needs a week off if we win the World Cup. Had a bloke on my street singing 'Eng-er-land' for about two hours completely on his own last night, all while kicking a lamp post. Wasn't even annoyed that I couldn't sleep because of it.

    love the celebrations but the birds that go to the pub take all the staffs time by ordering ridiculous drinks then proceed to video the whole pub adding a caption like " scenes " does get annoying as does throwing your pint everytime we score, scotland away i ended about 5 rows in front when we broke there hearts but that is different.

    I'm surprised, given the political instability there.
  • South Korea had the World Cup (with Japan) in 2002 anyway, surely too soon?

    Means the gap between South Korea hosting is only four years less than United States hosting

    The US is 6 times larger though. It would be impossible to have a World Cup in North/Central America without going back to the US (or Mexico) whereas Asia is full of countries who haven't held it yet. China and India for a start
  • Ronaldo asking the Iranian Supporters to shut up last night as he's trying to sleep
  • Everyone is smiling for the picture for Kane and his hat-trick ball. Then look at Pope...

    I would much prefer a high-pitched female commentator than the drivel Mark Lawrenson comes out with for example.

    Some people are just feeling threatened that a female is getting work and on TV. I mean, what has Jason Cundy ever done in broadcasting in comparison to others?

    He's probably hiding his protuding teeth.
  • Don't have a problem at all with female commentators if their delivery is good enough. The woman that commentated the other day, Vicki Sparks I think, was just a monotonous drone that was painful to listen to.
  • Normal service has resumed. Russia can't handle Uruguay by the looks of it.

    Dunno should be 1-1
  • paying the ref and russia still cant get involved, sooner they go out the better - then unfortunately we might see there locals true colours come out.
  • I stand by my post...! Russia don't have an answer to them here could be a tonking
  • russia vs spain
    iran/portgual vs uruguay

    likely to be the r016 ties
  • Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev hasn't made a save at this World Cup yet. He's conceded three.
  • Will be interesting to see how Group B matches play out later. Portugal could easily put 3 or 4 past Iran while Spain win 2-1.

    Would mean Russia v Portugal and Uruguay v Spain..
