Football World Cup - Russia 2018

I've just had a hedgehog walk past me in the garden, it got within a few feet of me. Cool.

Just realised I've posted that in the wrong thread! Soz.

Nice,but i'm failing to see what that's got to do with the World Cup in Russia.

It’s more interesting than the hand wringing.

I'm desperately trying to think of some sort of spurious link between hedgehogs and football and failing? Any help?

Looking forward to today's games, some great players and sides on display. I hope that France and Belgium progress, but suspect Brasil will prevail.

My goodwill towards England for tomorrow is rapidly being evaporated by dippit folk at work who had hitherto expressed no interest in football. Fortunately one of my friends is off to the Swedish Embassy at lunchtime so I've asked her to bring me back a flag.

A note in my hairdressers said that due to England being better than they expected, they'll be closed at 2 on Saturday.

Interesting stat of the last 14 world cup penalty shootout winners since 1998 only two went on to win their next match.

At a guess... Portugal and Italy?

 

[nickyboy]

You can get 3 to 1 on Belgium winning after 90 minutes. Same odds available on Uruguay doing the same

Seems generous, particularly Belgium

I almost backed Uruguay at 7/2 then I I found out Cavani is a non starter and swerved it they have a solid defence but I'm not sure the biter will be enough of a threat upfront.

Well I'm in France, in a bar surrounded by hundreds of Frenchmen so .... allez les Bleus!

I always imagined you as bald. Don't know why, but there you go.
