Who's_up_for_cumpkins?

Player Valuation: £10m
So under orders from my 5 year old just picked him up his first panini sticker album.

So as I was flickering through it resisting the urge to open the free packets and stick them In (hopefully the boy will get bored and leave It to me so as many as possible are ocd straight ha ha) I realised I'm actually quite looking forward to the world cup. Albeit vicariously through the boys enthusiasm.

After this #@+& show of a season from Everton, maybe watching the world cup will be a nice pallette cleanser. I'm not in the slightest bothered how England do and warned the boy not to expect too much.

Hopefully the whole thing is not ruined by the local hooligans and/or law enforcement.

So anyway, here's a general discussion thread.

Predictions, reactions, or even maybe a place to trade our kids panini swapsies!!! (let's be honest it's an excuse for the dad's to regress into childhood).

Germany Brazil final for me.

Germany edging it.

Keep your eyes on Uruguay though, they’ve got a relatively easy run all the way through provided everything goes their way and they win the group.

For me dark horses will be Poland. They smashed training, Lewandowski is on fire and England await if they win the group! Quarter finals why not?
 

England will not go through the group, grinding out four turgid draws where winning goals are dismissed by the ref who's been bought off by Putin.

Germany will apply their artless, soulless ruthless efficiency and get to the final via a series of efficient 1-0 wins that will make everybody give up trying to watch exciting football.

In the final they'll beat Portugal 1-0 in a game where Ronaldo loses his head and is sent off after arguing with a giant moth over image rights. Then FIFA will have a word with the ref, who will then recall him to the field to manage the spectacle for maximum audience numbers who need to be told who supplies the tyres to the team coaches.

Just my guess.

God I hate modern football.

England with four draws in three games? Even for them, that's boring.
 
I'm quite lucky that most games are 8pm or 11pm kick off for me (will need to watch the 2am games the next morning).

Given that kick off is during the day when most will be at work in the uk, what is everyones plans to watch it?

Tempted to throw a bet on Senegal at 500-1. Just enough talent in the team that a few decent results and a bit of luck and they could be right there

I was thinking the same. They have a decent draw as any of those 4 group teams could make it out, and as long as they could avoid Belgium in the knockout, who knows. Decent odds all things considered.
