    Well, Opening Ceremony is self indulgent Mexican 'songs' and 'dance'. Not sitting anywhere near the memorable charts. Only had about 10 years to plan. Bring on Diana Ross and some larger goal posts, width, not height. Why is it not Trump Land, in English tee hee

    Disappointed the greatest World Cup keeper of all time, Ochoa, isn’t starting for Mexico

    I’ve looked but can’t find a daily round up of matches on BBC or ITV. Is there one I’ve missed?
    I would want that as I can’t see me being able to justify watching every match at home. There’d be arguments and I’d be exhausted.

    I was looking over the tv schedule for the first few days and couldn't see anything. I reckon this may come in from the final round of group games.

    I will look to watch you tube highlights of the night matches.

    We'd easily be able to host a 16 stadium world cup, especially if we have 12 years to plan it.

    Straight off the bat you'd have:
    Wembley
    White Hart Lane
    Principality 
    Etihad
    Anfield
    Celtic Park 
    St James' Park
    Aviva
    Stadium Of Light
    New Birmingham Stadium 

    That's 10 grounds, ready to go, all above 40k.

    Given Qatar had all their stadiums in one city pretty much, and London is fucking huge, they should allow us Emirates, West Ham, maybe even Twickenham.

    You'd then probably see one of the Sheffield teams, Leeds, Bristol, Southampton, Coventry, Forest and a couple of others look to get in on the act and upgrade their stadiums for it too, it's easily done. 

    In that scenario, personally I’d put Evertons new ground way above Anfield in the pecking order. 
    If you are including Scottish grounds and keeping in mind that three countries are hosting the tournament this time, then Cardiff’s Principality Stadium and it’s 76,000+ capacity should be born in mind.

    We'll be seeing a lot more goals that involve shocking defending.

    My main concern with this tournament is Callum doing pages of match threads with him being the only one watching

    Is Ally McCoist drunk or has his speech got even worse?

    Hard to see how they have only lost 2 international matches in the last 60 in this stadium ! On this showing I would take a last 16 against them

    A lot of talk that Mexico at the Azteca would be a tough RO16 matchup.

    Not quite seeing that at the moment.

    Quite like the refcam thing, but poor refs having to wear that headset thing in the heat.

    I thought they were going to use VAR for corner decisions?
    They clearly got that one wrong.

    Matthew Mcconaughey did the intro for US TV. No mention of time being a flat circle, of this place being like the memory of a town, or any other classics from True Detective.

    Rebecca Lowe does the pre match with Theirry Henry, who is immediately incredibly charming, Zlatan, who is Zlatan but I bet will be good value, and Alexei Lalas, who remains unfortunate. 
    Did he really?! Please post this, I need it in my life.

    Reminds me of one of my favourite brainless comments, back in early online gaming. My brother was playing some early COD type game with an American lad and Spanish speaking lad. The Spanish speaking lad says something in Spanish and the yank furiously shouts “SPEAK ENGLISH THIS IS AMERICA” 😖
