I’m with those who say that it shouldn’t be there, but it is. I can take or leave international football these days, mostly thanks to FIFA, but my boy is growing up fast and evenings around the telly with a match and a pizza might become less frequent. Selfish I may be, but I’m creating memories and screw Putin.

Spain having an early nervous breakdown, sacking their manager.   The first own goal, I guess.

Seems like a massive hissy fit.

Yes but that relies on FIFA adopting some kind of moral position. That is not something they are currently capable of doing.

I will not be watching.
What! Not even the opening match of Russia v Saudi Arabia which will just be a big gay rainbow of tolerance!

I thought England were supposed to have played their first match by now, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Yesterday's battle of the bastards was the opening match.

Some of the Spanish play is beyond belief, like a kind of dance.   Sheer will-power by Ronaldo, also.

Motty's desert island disc top pick is Three Lions.

No idea why but that made me both  :D and  :'(.

Just listened to Three Lions. Classic. Got my England top on and buzzing for the game.
Peace through superior firepower.

Well it's not a true classic but the memories it evokes... really happy with Southgate in charge, this feels like a happy ship to me.
