It's now very easy to understand why the Western media/government have been vehemently against Russia hosting the World Cup and it's absolutely nothing to do with corruption, racism, hooliganism, etc. Russia is biggest political rival, that's why. This world cup has been one the best ones, in recent memory and the best World cup for England in 28 years.

This is such a big event and the whole world is watching. The whole world has realized that Russia isn't this mean-spirited racist hellhole as portrayed by the media and now many English fans are angry at the media for such bad portrayal.

Без рубашки Путин выйдет на арену медведя во время перерыва в финальной игре.

I have considerable money on Belgium winning from a bet I made about a decade ago, but I really don't want them to win. Just so unlikable, every one of them.

Croatia v England

Uruguay v Brazil

Am I right in thinking Mbappe is all speed and power. Not much skill.

Someone agrees with me that England should be excited.

3. England
I left England vs. Colombia more excited about the England team than I was going into it. Yes, they gave up the late goal to Yerry Mina, and needed a nervy penalty kick performance to pull it out. I like them more not just because they didn’t crumble when they gave up the late goal, which would have been something they’ve done in the past. I like them more because of how Colombia played them.

Colombia were cautious against England, and Colombia aren’t cautious around anyone. They played three defensive center midfielders and resorted to all sorts of crap to try and slow the game down and prevent England from attacking. They had to get nasty. Granted, they were missing James, but when you make a team like Colombia change the way they play, that means they respect you. And England are so good right now they deserve respect.

Also it really helps that they don’t have to play France and Brazil like Uruguay does. Again, Uruguay are better than England. Sorry, just needed to say that again.

Personally, I think France are exiting the competition today. Uruguay won't give them the freedom of the pitch like Argentina did. It will be close, particularly with no Cavani, but I'm saying 2-1 to Uruguay
