Fuck me Mexico got a relatively good draw. I know we can destroy Cameroon if we play at our top level, not that we've shown that throughout the qualifiers but we've done it before. Croatia I dunno about, might be in favor of Croatia but who knows there. Brazil will definitely wreck our shit if they are playing at full potential. I see us battling for second place with Croatia and honestly I don't know which one will take the spot.
Lol USA gonna get wrecked though. Two very good teams in their group not to mention Germany is very much the heavy favorites to win the cup.

Great draw all round that. Cant see any groups there where you can easily pick the two that will go through.
Regarding England, I'd say that's not an awful draw, A, B or G would probably have been worse. A tough one yes, but I think that's what England need. If they can get out of the group I think they could do quite well from there considering they'd be getting one from Group C in the Ro16. Colombia would be tough yes but the rest are teams England should be beating. 2am kick off's a bit of a shitter. I'm sure when I read up on this in the summer they said the latest kick off GMT would be 11:30pm, and looking through the fixtures now it seems that the only game in the entire tournament at that time is Englands opener. That's is a bit gay.
I think the aforementioned groups A, B and G will be hugely entertaining.

France will alright I think, they're gradually getting rid of the past generation and bringing in some quality young players like Pogba, Varane and Sakho.
Looking for one of the Japan-Ivory Coast-Colombia group to surprise. Japan play absolutely quality football but are just lacking in a few positions.

Not for the players, it'll be even hotter and more humid.

Very true, at least both teams will struggle.

I think Roy wanted it to start at 9pm GMT as they said on SSN.

They've changed our game against Italy to 11pm. I'm not happy. Cant go out, get bladderred, watch football and forget everything that happened now. If you're going to move it, move it to the 8/9pm KO. Wankers.

The game being changed to 11 was always going to happen, the games are 5pm, 8pm and 11pm. I'm sure that was confirmed ages ago, BBC were just being mongy about it.

Decent times tbf, and the 11pm is at the weekend so it works out well.

didn't know where else to put this so I'll leave it in here: a ten second gif of every world cup ball, think it's pretty cool albeit a little fast.

2002 by a country mile, Fevernova, wasn't it the first ball with sort of padding on it? Remember getting immense dip and curve with it and feeling you could absolute hammer it without ruining your foot. And buying a cheap knock-off on a day trip to France once.
