Are people actually excited for this World Cup?
It's the biggest scam in modern football.

Are people actually excited for this World Cup? It's the biggest scam in modern football. I'm in two minds about it. I love the World Cup and try to watch as much of it as I can. This one though has been stolen and I'm really struggling to see it as a genuine world cup. |

Are people actually excited for this World Cup? It's the biggest scam in modern football. I'm not too bothered but will most likely watch England's matches anyway. Depending on how England do, I might be looking forward to the resumption of the Championship more than the rest of the World Cup. |

If Ten Hag has a good start that would likely involve getting good form out of those two |

Should be a great tournament. Quite open. My money on The Netherlands to reach the final. Think gone under the radar a bit. Had a nice win on Italy at the Euros and France at previous WC, this one a bit harder to call. France, Netherlands, Portugal, Argentina all reasonable odds and all have a decent chance. Argentina be tough to beat again and Spain a bit of a hard to call shout . 2 or 3 others also in the mix.

Netherlands have the defence, pretty much everyone else is at best average at the back (France aside) Dutch have fuck all at the other end though and midfield isn't top end either Argentina? Very ordinary aren't they? Italy have failed to qualify! Spain not sure about them, Portugal have got good players |

So yeah, I do have a right to comment. I'm fucked off with it and should have never happened in the first place. I'm with and against you there. You are spot on on the one hand. For me it's a morally bankrupt tournament but equally they all are where FIFA are concerned. Favours and backhanders have been proven to have been going on for years. It's the sheer loss of life in building the infastructure though that I can't get onside with.
We moan about Sports washing when the Saudi's come into Newcastle but paper over this one because it's a World Cup?
I'll probably watch it because I love football, and sods law it will be the tournament we actually bloody win - but it will be my least favourite tournament for sure.

Tim Vickery seems to think both Brazil and Argentina have got a real chance. Obviously Brazil always do - but Argentina look more pragmatic and potential-winnery than they have for ages according to him.
29 games unbeaten for Argentina. "Best Argentina side that Messi has been part of"

Argentina have better players for me than Brazil but not been great but still be a threat of sorts. Denmark could be a semi finalist |

 Tomori, Bowen and James Justin in. No Mings Wonder if we ever got anywhere near signing Justin before Leicester got involved? |
