[+] Let's talk about the World Cup!

[Morrus]

The other thread is where you can tell everybody you're not interested or complain about FIFA and stuff. This thread is for talking about the World Cup itself. The teams, the games, the fun stuff!

I’m watching as much as I can!
Hopefully the US team does well

I’m up at my family’s lake retreat. We put the US vs PAR game on during dinner. Seemed like an unusually good game for us. Looking forward to more matches while on vacation.

Definitely going to head to the bars more often for the next few weeks. I quite like football. The US looked awesome in the first half, not so much the second.

Scotland have our first match in about four hours, so for the moment there's a great wave of optimism. Expect the mood of a nation to crash around 4am (UK time)...

(And yes, in Scotland that's what passes for optimism. )

I'm pulling for you!

I can’t mix alcohol with my medications, so no bars for me.

Instead we’re watching at home.

That header by Qatar to even the score with Switzerland was a real banger.

...and it keeps the point totals low, so Canadians can remain hopeful to escape the group round.

 

[Morrus]

I'm fully expecting the usual England story. Early success, raised hopes, don't stick the landing. It's easy to get swept up in the national fervour every four (well, two, as the Euros are treated equally) years.

Wow! I absolutely did not have Morocco scoring first against Brazil on my World Cup bingo card.
