I live about ten miles from Frome. This is what someone did to the sign you pass when entering the town during the World Cup in Qatar!

So to get into the Pre World Cup spirit, here is arguably the best ever England World Cup song. Also growing up, Italia 90 when I was 16, was for me my most memorable World Cup. However, after the defeat to Germany in the Semi Finals, I cried, I cried a lot

The first WC I properly watched, understood and took in. I'd just turned 18 at the time.

I'd also say despite it not coming home, the best WC I've watched, up to and including present day.

 

[Wait!What?]

Just been through the teams who have qualified for the world cup and I see only 7 teams who can win it - England, Portugal, Argentina, France, Spain, Germany or Brazil.

I don't know, The Sweep pays 3rd place and there is usually an un-fancied team that makes it to the Semi Finals.

I think the true no-hopers are Jordan, Curacao, South Africa, Panama, Iraq, Cape Verde, Qatar, Congo, Uzbekistan, NZ, Haiti, Saudi Arabia. Anybody else could win it.

I wouldn't underestimate DR Congo, not to win it of course but they might be one of the teams to cause an upset.

Anyway, the way the tournament is setup it takes a long time before it gets interesting. Some of the better teams might take it easy in the group stages to get a favorable path, or have to start without some of their star players like Spain who'll probably have to miss Yamal in the first games.
