So, the qualifiers are over, and all the ingredients are in for the most bizarre world cup until 2022: -No Italy -No Holland -No USA -No Chile -Lots of racism And Spain is in the pot 2 of the draw, so there's huge potential for a group of death. While Northern Ireland is still arguing about the non-existing penalty, let's discuss the future tournament instead. |

I have no interest in a Russian or Qatari World Cup for various reasons so I'll see you in 2026 |

World Cup should be 31 teams, and then an appointed manager to pick a ‘Best of the Rest’ team. |

What would the national anthem of that team be? REM's "everybody hurts" would be a good choice |

A week to go before the start of the wendyball cup 2018 I believe? I expect I'll watch the first England game, get annoyed at how shit they are and stop watching. Does anyone actually have any expectations? |

Does anyone actually have any expectations? I've watched so little football this year; I just lose a little more interest each year in watching regular games, but I'll always watch World Cup stuff if it's on at a reasonable hour. I see that the group games look to be at 1pm or 7pm so this is where working from home and having a second monitor really comes handy. I never have any expectations of England though - I'll just be hoping for a few decent games and goals. |

They actually look decent at the moment. Would be happy with the quarters. No real expectations though. Southgate seems like a good egg though, and I want Raheem Sterling to do well just to piss off the racist tabloids. |

Bit daft being racist about a team that's majority black or mixed race, innit? |

I agree, I like Southgate. Just seems to be getting on with the job to the best of his ability with no drama. |

I'm looking forward to watching Millwall "fans" getting their shit kicked in by crazy, vodka-and-steroid-fueled, stripped-to-the-waist, kickboxing Russian madmen. Russia: a better class of fucking lunatics. |

In what can only described as "scenes" Spain have gone fully mental and sacked their manager the day before the World Cup starts. Crazy buggers. |

Poor finishing. Check. No movement off the ball. Check. Always looking for the backwards pass. Check. Yep, England have arrived at the world cup... |
