Don't rile the dragon! He's actually predicted us to do well.
So not the camel riders then. Come on folks that knocks it down to thirty one.

Apparently The Saudis had been in a training camp for over 2 months! I think i'd want to get home as soon as possible as well.

Going to be in Iceland tomorrow, so really hope they do well.
I think their first opponents (Argentina) have a good chance, and would have said Spain before they sacked their manager.
Be happy if England get out of the group and at least play decently.

I'd love to see Iceland do well also and I think England may FINALLY surprise people. Will be interesting to see if Spain sacking their manager will make any difference or whether quality players know enough to be good as a team irrespective of who's in charge. I only really ruled Argentina out because they were so poor in qualifying. Always a good tournament team though.

Doesn't look like they're suffering at all thus far. Great game.

Even though I think England have their best chance in many a year to do well, after seeing that game tonight I fear we may have some way to go. I may have watched through beer goggles but Spain & Portugal playing football in the way they did showed what truly great teams can offer. Brilliant.

France-Australia
I know I dislike VAR anyway but can someone explain to me how an initial probable correct decision is overturned by VAR, when I thought it was only there to correct OBVIOUS mistakes. At very best that decision to give or not give a penalty is borderline after about 10 watches!
